All Creatures Great and Small viewers issue same demand about newcomer

Newcomer Elexi Walker has won over All Creatures Great and Small audiences who are calling for her to become a regular fixture.

The performer has become part of the Channel 5 period drama as Sister Rose, who calls veterinarian James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) about a poorly rescue dog.

She then assists him in obtaining an X-ray machine for the clinic, telling him the hospital was disposing of it and not taking no for an answer.

Devotees of the Yorkshire-based programme swiftly warmed to the no-nonsense persona, sharing posts on X (Twitter) calling for her to be a permanent fixture, reports Manchester Evening News.

One audience member wrote on X: "I already love Sister Rose. I hope we can keep her permanently."

"I love Sister Rose already," declared another, whilst someone else shared: "We LOVE seeing more strong women on the show! Welcome Sister Rose."

One admirer dubbed the character "THE MVP" and another observed that she "looks like a formidable addition to the cast" of the hit TV series, with many fans hoping she will stay for the long-run.

Someone else remarked on the platform: "It was great to see Sister Rose making an appearance. Had started listening to the audiobooks, hearing her stories, and now we have face to the name."

"I think we are all a Sister Rose fangirl," shared another fan.

One joked: "I need Audrey and Sister Rose to join forces and fight crimes together."

Set in Northern England during the 1930s and 1940s, All Creatures Great and Small draws from the novels penned by Alf Wight, who published under the pseudonym James Herriot.

The series follows James's adventures as a vet, his relationships with characters like Siegfried Farnon (played by Samuel) and Mrs Hall (portrayed by Anna), and his romantic journey with Helen (Rachel Shenton).

The programme first aired in 2020 and is currently in its sixth season, with several special episodes focusing on the happenings at Skeldale House.

All Creatures Great and Small airs on Channel 5.
