I've just seen the new .

Hang on to your hats for a another round of pregnancy/childbirth bingo and the continuing adventures of the most drama-filled antenatal group and understaffed maternity unit in the country!

Previous thread here to remind yourselves of last series/loose ends and see if any of Bertie's predictions come true!

It was so distasteful to hear them planning a celebration party after the inquest - 'I'll pick up some booze' - practically in front of the bereaved husband!

And when beautiful Hermione Norris told Simon to go to Italy, that Sonny would be there when he got back 'and so will I' - did she mean she'd wait for him?

Alisvolatpropiis · 31/05/2016 23:32

I cannot believe Simon is just fucking off and leaving his son for a year. 29 going on what, stroppy 13 year old?

ChipsandGuac · 01/06/2016 01:29

I found this tonight and have had a mini binge watch. I didn't watch Series 1 (am in the US so don't know where to look for it) and quite like it! Although, the blogger woman must be the most boring blogger on the planet. Who would read that simpering load of tosh?!

ChipsandGuac · 01/06/2016 01:30

Also, I forgot to ask the question I wanted to know. Did the midwife have a drinking problem in the first series or is this a new thing?

ChipsandGuac · 01/06/2016 01:41

One more also, the one thing I really don't like is the way Paul Nicholls holds his hand so everyone knows he's gay. It's shit.

ElfinStardust · 01/06/2016 01:47

But Paul Nicholls is absolutely gorgeous Smile

Tigresswoods · 01/06/2016 08:57

Mum if Louie: where does Rosie live?

Sweetheart midwife:

Normal behaviour there!!

Rowanna: coup you watch Sonny while I go with the police?

Simon's mum: Sure! My son's just left the country & my husband is lying in a coma you rout him in. I'm not doing anything....

gingerboy1912 · 01/06/2016 09:01

I thought the whole court scene was inappropriate with them talking and giving out invites, whilst the death of a new mum was being discussed.

bluebloom · 01/06/2016 09:14

Rowanna will definitely turn out to be preg & won't know who the dad is. Was the first series this ridiculous? DS was a newborn so my recollection of it is probably wrong, but I don't remember all the constant drama.

YoureSoSlyButSoAmI · 01/06/2016 09:37

Ginger boy I agree. I went off Jas a little bit fir that. In fact a lot. She came across as really thick there.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 01/06/2016 10:02

I wish they'd decide if HN's character is called Roanna or Roahhhhna! Drives me bonkersConfused

Tigresswoods · 01/06/2016 10:04

Roanna pregnant?!? That sounds ridiculous!!!!!!!

Will probably happen then.

AndYourBirdCanSing · 01/06/2016 10:25

Dire episode. Agree the court scene was awful- rude, self obsessed characters. Dislike all of them except Roanna.

Is it wrong that I laughed when she ran him over?! I'm not sure that was the desired effect

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 01/06/2016 10:26

I laughed tooGrin

AndYourBirdCanSing · 01/06/2016 11:19

Did Simon sleep with Molly? I missed a couple of bits, it looked like they were holding hands walking up the stairs? Surprised he has left his son with seemingly very little thought!

Is the gay dad with ginger hair the biological father?

NeedACleverNN · 01/06/2016 11:20

I couldn't see the judge allowing people to shout out during the session but it wasn't court court was it?

It was just an inquest wasn't it?

ArmySal · 01/06/2016 11:41

Also: Roanna's husband has the face of a man permanently worried he's left one of the hob rings on.

Grin Grin

Roanna's daughter told her she had seen Simon kissing his ex.
I thought they were holding hands going up the stairs too.

I think the two dads used a mix of their sperm didn't they?

So far fetched but I must see it through now.

AugustaFinkNottle · 01/06/2016 14:06

Part time Pizza delivery job will pay the mortgage?!

I expect the idea is that Diane will be able to go back to childminding if he's going to be out delivering Pizzas - or maybe she'll go out to work when he's at home.

dottypotter · 01/06/2016 14:09

How likely is it she would have knocked her fil down and also had an affair with him in the past.

Cant see what she sees in Simon or ray hardly have big personalities do they. Never heard them crack a joke.

Its kept us watching though.

Lilaclily · 01/06/2016 14:15

If the widow didn't blame the alcoholic midwife why was he bringing action against her ?
Jill halfpenny doing my head in, they've just given you your licence back and you tell them to pissed off when they tell you your un crb checked husband can't be in the house
They're all so common and thick
Hate the gay dad who isn't Paul nicholas , he's such a shit actor

TrixieBernadette · 01/06/2016 14:16

Lilac he wasn't bringing action against her? It was an inquest, which is common after a sudden death.

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 14:25

It's a shame they've gone away from the original premise which was supposed to be to look at the funny/hard/sad/nice bits of pregnancy and early parenthood. The babies in this series come out occasionally but the parenting part is totally ignored, and Kim's blog doesn't count. It's just all about their random relationship drama and other things that aren't related to babies at all. Disappointing.

However it is too funny now so am stuck in. I also don't understand what Rohanna sees in Simon? The bit in the airport was so bizarre, she suddenly decided she did love him after all, but why? What? It was really unbelievable (which is not saying much I suppose!)

The car crash was hilarious.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/06/2016 15:26

KIMS blog says she doesn't like to judge. She judges every week !!!!

Amazes young birth mum suddenly managed to express enough for 4 bottles

If she did and formula then shouldn't be made up in advance

Inquest. I got the impression that dead mum didn't give up smoking from what her hubby said

She refused to wear the surgical socks

Midwife def not to blame

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/06/2016 15:27

And a pizza delivery job in the eve. That pays the mortgage 😛😛

She def won't be able to cm now as he will be at home asleep daytime

OhTinky · 01/06/2016 16:35

Caught up on this. Trying to predict future crap plot lines is almost more fun than watching...

So, Paul Nicholls character was saying he was tired, what's the chances he may be in a car crash/accident before Shelly has signed the parental papers?

Unrealistic of that sweetheart midwife just being able to pop over to see the gay dads? She wasn't even on shift?! Who's running the maternity unit if sweetheart and little miss vodka aren't there?!
