In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, Charlotte explained,
"I felt like Barbara had gone through such a lovely journey, having arrived at Nonnatus House a sort of wreck and quite incompetent, or at least on the surface."
She added,
"And she's really grown up and become this adult. And it felt like such a lovely time, with her wedding to Tom, having found that happiness and reconciled with Trixie. It could be a good time to go."
Charlotte elaborated that her desire to explore new opportunities after spending four years on the show influenced her decision.
"It seemed like a good time to go. They ask you to commit quite early on in the year to the show. And I always wanted to do it, but I also felt that I'd done three different series for the last five years, and thought it might be good to slightly try and branch out and try something new."
Charlotte described the scenario.
