The post received 50 upvotes and 37 comments, as people speculated how long the character would survive - others claimed the character is 'immortal'. One person replied: “As long as Judy Parfitt wants to do or can do it, I would say.
A second argued: “People consistently misunderstand what a historically low average lifespan means. It means many children died young. It doesn’t mean that people didn’t reach a grand old age once they’d made it into adulthood.”A third said: “I hope she sticks around until the end of the show, realism be damned haha! But I wouldn’t be surprised if she leaves soon, most of her storylines lately seem to revolve around her ill health.
A fourth claimed, “Sister Monica Joan is immortal. She will live forever." A fifth replied: “Or, she died seasons ago, and she’s just a presence in the convent!”Another suggested: “I think Sister Monica Joan will be on the show until it either ends or Judy Parfitt dies in real life. I do like the idea of the series ending with her funeral. That seems fitting. Though I do keep comparing it to Maggie Smith and Downtown Abbey.would've said Maggie Smith would be on DA till it ended/she passed IRL but they went in a different direction. Either way, Sister Monica Joan is my favourite and I'm elated that she's still around and causing mischief.”
Many fans agreed they’d like to see Sister Monica Joan last until the end of the series. Judy’s character has been a staple in the series since the beginning, being introduced as one of the first to qualify as a nurse midwife in the UK.In the latest series, Sister Monica Joan proves she’s still capable as a nurse, helping out at the maternity home during an outbreak of gastroenteritis. Ahead of Trixie’s (Helen George) wedding, the nun was infected during a hepatitis outbreak, rendering her into a state of delirium. However, Sister Monica Joan pulls through just in time to give a reading at the wedding.
