Call the Midwife star Max Macmillan has a famous mum
But did you know that Timothy isn't the only big name in his family? Keep reading to find out more about his famous mum.
Max's mum is the bestselling author Gilly Macmillan, who is best known for writing thriller novels, including The Manor House, The Perfect Girl, The Nanny, and The Long Weekend.
The proud mum has previously reshared photos posted on the official Call the Midwife Facebook page. Reposting a snap of Max on the drama's set with his co-star Daniel Laurie, who plays Reggie, Gilly penned back in 2017: "My boy Max on set at #CallTheMidwife."
Max is one of the cast's longest-serving members, having starred on the show since season two.
The actor, who studied music at university, has been missing from recent episodes, sparking concerns among fans about his future on the show.
Taking to X, one fan penned: "#callthemidwife where are Nancy & Timothy? No mention of them for weeks?" while another asked: "Not to worry anyone but where's Timothy Turner?"
Fans can rest assured that Max has not left the drama. Back in the Christmas special, it was revealed that Timothy would be working as a junior doctor in Edinburgh this year, hence his absence from Poplar.
It's clear that Max has formed close friendships with his on-screen parents over the years and even attended the wedding of Stephen McGann and show creator Heidi Thomas' real-life son, Dominic.
In September last year, the show's Instagram account shared a snap from the wedding which showed Stephen smiling for a selfie with his son Dominic and co-star Max.
The caption read, in part: "We were amused to receive this particular photograph Stephen sent us from the after-party, because - for those familiar with our previous Call the Midwife posts - it marks a moment that has been 14 long years in the making! It is the moment when Stephen's real son FINALLY met Max Macmillan, the actor who plays his screen son Timothy!"
The post also revealed that Dominic and Max had never met, only "exchanging pleasantries" with each other through Stephen over the years and referring to one another as "real son" and "fake son". How sweet!

BOOSTER GOLD TV Series Finally Moving Forward at DC Studios — GeekTyrant
After more than two years of waiting, the fan-favorite time-traveling superhero Booster Gold is officially making his way to the small screen. According to Deadline, DC Studios has greenlit a pilot episode for the series at HBO Max, bringing a cult comic book character into the spotlight. The project has landed David Jenkins, best known as the creator of HBO Max's pirate comedy-drama Our Flag Means Death , to write the pilot and serve as showrunner if the series gets a full-season order. Originally announced back in January 2023 during the DCU Chapter One slate reveal, the synopsis teased that the series will follow Booster Gold as he uses 'basic technology from the future to pretend to be a superhero in the present day.' Booster Gold's real name is Michael Jon Carter, a former football star from the 25th century who steals advanced technology and travels back in time. His mission? To reinvent himself as a celebrity superhero in our era. In the comics, Booster isn't just a self-promoter, he eventually becomes a trusted member of the Justice League. That Justice League is shaping up in the DCU too, featuring characters like Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific, who recently appeared in Superman , and they're bankrolled by Maxwell Lord, adding an interesting dynamic to the team's future. While we wait for Booster's big debut, DC fans have plenty to look forward to on HBO Max. Peacemaker Season 2, starring John Cena as the foul-mouthed antihero, drops on August 21. Further down the line, we have Lanterns , which is set for an early 2026 release. That series will follow Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a mysterious murder in Nebraska. With Jenkins at the helm and James Gunn's DCU vision in play, Booster Gold could bring a fresh, funny, and heartfelt tone to the superhero genre.

‘Materialists' Comes to Digital, But When Will Dakota Johnson's ‘Materialists' Movie Be Streaming on HBO Max?
Celine Song's Materialists movie is coming to digital platforms tomorrow, which means you'll soon be able to watch one of the most divisive movies of 2025 from the comfort of your own home. Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, Materialists tells the story of a professional matchmaker (Johnson) who finds herself torn between a perfect, dreamy newcomer (Pascal) and her annoying-but-beautiful ex-boyfriend (Evans). Though the film was advertised as a light-hearted, romantic comedy follow up to Song's 2023 heartbreaking, Oscar-nominated romance, Past Lives, many were disappointed by the lack of comedy in the film. But others found it to be a touching, grounded romance all the same. This is definitely one of those movies that you'll want to watch for yourself and form your own opinion on. Read on to find out where to watch Dakota Johnson's Materialists movie online, and when we expect to be able to watch Materialists streaming on HBO Max. Where to watch the Dakota Johnson Materialists movie on streaming: Beginning on Tuesday, July 22 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (which is also 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, July 21) you will be able to buy a digital copy of Materialists on platforms like Amazon Prime, Fandango At Home, Apple TV, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to buy the film, but on Amazon, the film cost $24.99 to pre-order a digital copy. Materialists will not yet be available to rent online. Materialists is not currently available to stream on any subscription-based services, but the film will eventually be coming to streaming, on HBO Max, thanks to the 2023 deal between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, which brings A24's previous and upcoming theatrical releases to the streaming service HBO Max. If you're new to HBO Max, you can sign up for as low as $9.99/month with ads, but an ad-free subscription will cost $16.99/month. HBO MAX DISNEY+ BUNDLES If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you're at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the discounted Disney+ Bundles with Hulu and HBO Max. With ads, the bundle costs $16.99/month and without ads, $29.99/month. When will the Materialists movie be streaming on HBO Max? The Materialists movie streaming release date on HBO Max has not yet been announced, but we can make an educated guess as to when you can expect to see Materialists on HBO Max. The A24 deal is a 'Pay-1 deal,' which means A24 movies will start streaming on HBO Max in the 'Pay 1 window,' meaning that HBO Max will be the first 'TV channel' to pay for the rights to Friendship, after the film has been released on digital and home media. One recent A24 title, Opus, began streaming on Max on July 11, about four months after its release in theaters, and about three months after its release on digital. If Materialists follows a similar release strategy, you might see Materialists streaming on Max in about four months, around mid-October 2025. This is all speculation. The A24 digital and streaming releases have varied by title. If you want to watch Materialists right away, you can buy a digital copy starting tomorrow.
