Casualty- anyone watching?

Just tuned in and part of story line is about a TW and their wife - TW almost drowns, wife saves them and then gets all GC when they arrive in casualty.

Fascinated to see how this pans out particularly considering some of the clear arguments that the wife outlined. Guessing as it's the BBC it will end up being totally woke

@FannyCann make sure you book online if you're going to take a trip! They only keep a small number of tickets to sell on the day.

Thanks User - I've just discovered that according to google it is a mere 69 miles and 1 hour 21 minutes away from me. I'm going to take a day trip before the summer is out! I love old fashioned lidos like that. Star

Oo just started to watch on catchup. Nasty feminist threatening long haired man in water. Not sympathetic at first when he has an asthma attack. Now being quite heroic.

I'm so annoyed by the story line. We had guessed what would happen at the end, too. But the BBC are too scared to let the woman tell the TW to fuck off, as they were not the child's mother. Absolutely shocking!

It’s Pontypridd Lido!
Totally agree with all the points above, and I had the subtitles too.

FannyCann · 03/08/2019 21:53

Side issue - anyone know where that pool is ? It looks great, old fashioned lido with fab views!

Didn't realize that rubbish was still on TV.

At least it’s getting some GC points out there that maybe some people might think about, like this board did for me.

🤬

Had to restrain myself from kicking the telly over. Of course it was all about the TW and what the TW wanted (notice they said they were entitled to use the pool), and the wife was portayed as a ranty harridan. The writers ought to have a look at the transwidow thread on here.

Can't remember when I last watched but Charlie is a LOT older. Confused

Liked how he had a little yawn as the TW started explaining all his problems...

I think I'm behind the rest of you. Got a horrible feeling that the wife will be led to see the error of her ways and it will be happy ever after. Who's a gambler? Ginbet!

All cosy on the end wife accepts her as a woman and they all love happily ever after Hmm

I agree Swedish. Haven't watched it in about eight years and it hasn't got any better in that time

Yes, just started though.

Subtitles when TW had the asthma attack in the pool “she gasps” Hmm

SwedishEdith · 03/08/2019 21:13

Am watching but am distracting by the appalling acting and the grossly simplified storylines

Interesting that the writers showers people falling over themselves to say the right thing and apologise for their mistakes I.e. he not she.

Very interesting

GiggleMcDimples · 03/08/2019 20:55

I am, I'm about 15min behind though on catchup.
