I really hate that Sister Evangelina is gone now. I just loved her spunky personality. She was one of the best ones on the show. Now almost all the original people are gone. Did anyone else cry like a baby at tonight's episode. It was so sad. I bawled.
I watched it on YouTube and cried. Especially when Sister Monica Joan was crying. It's not going to be the same without her.
shareI can't find anything saying why Pam Ferris left the show. I saw a brief article stating that she said it was a very hard decision to make. Has anyone read why she wanted to leave the show?
I make no claim on being particularly prescient, but I had a feeling that when Sister Evangelina was resting in the chair for the second time less than halfway through the episode that they were telegraphing her death. I remember thinking when Fred came into the room, "she's dead". But just think that the last thing she had done in her life was the happy moment in bathing the newborn when she was reluctant but there was nobody else to do it, making her feel more useful, and her unknowing final words were "thank you". She had a good life and it was a quiet and peaceful way to go.
shareAll through the trauma that Sister Monica Joan went through this season I kept thinking how sad it was that Sister Evangelina was not there to help her and then she just shows up unexpectedly. I was so happy for the nuns and Sister Monica Joan. Then just like that she is ripped away from them. I didn't like that and yes I bawled like a baby. I have some medical issues that have been so painful that as a result the pain has had me in tears on several occasions. My roommate saw me bawling my eyes out and almost called 911 emergency. I had a heck of a time convincing him it was just a tv show.
