Why do you think Trixie is ill? I missed that haha

Unicornsandrainbows3 · 16/02/2017 01:40

I just binge watched the first four episodes and cried. Some beautiful acting in there this season. What's wrong with Trixie though? A disease she picked up when she was away maybe?

BubbleWrapQueen · 16/02/2017 08:02

My first thought was Trixie was pregnant, and they'd do the single working mum storyline.......

BertieBotts · 16/02/2017 08:27

TB perhaps? So another vaccination storyline?

Trixie's nose fascinates me, it's the smallest nose ever, as if someone has photo shopped a toddler's nose onto her face.

Trixie was out of breath doing her excerise class hence the oh dear what's she got story line. Wasn't major but definitely a dig to a story line.

I didn't get with lady in hospital who's baby died though the cervix thing meant prem labour. But why was she bleeding before any labour started?

Itscurtainsforyou · 16/02/2017 23:09

It was very realistic to me. I started bleeding before I went into premature labour. It can be a sign that the cervix is opening.

Cervical stitches can (nowadays) be placed at around 15 weeks, or as an emergency later on. There is a risk of waters breaking during the procedure, I was expecting that story tbh. It seems that it was a fairly new thing in those days so it could be very different, but I'd like to think that she'd have an early stitch in future pregnancies and carry to term Smile

Very well portrayed to me.

Akire · 16/02/2017 23:15

Thanks that's makes sense

ppeatfruit · 17/02/2017 13:25

True itscurtains It's very well done and doesn't hold it's punches, I was surprised to see the "blood in the knickers" scene, heralding the possible miscarriage, nevertheless thought it very good.

ppeatfruit · 17/02/2017 13:26

I just watched a recording of the ep. with the Chinese MIL in it! I cried (as usual) !

Akire · 17/02/2017 13:27

I thought was good too, we see all sorts of murders and goryness on TV but never seen blood in pants before. Either relating to periods or miscarriage when it's something we all go through every month.

ppeatfruit · 17/02/2017 13:44

Yes exactly Akire. Funny how there are so many unpleasant 'body stealing, zombie vampire' type films around . But no reality. Hmm

KenDoddsDadsDog · 19/02/2017 20:11

Groovee · 19/02/2017 20:11

BikeRunSki · 19/02/2017 20:14

Did one of the nurses just say "our own expectant mother"?

Saucery · 19/02/2017 20:14

Oh no, I don't think I can watch this one.

BikeRunSki · 19/02/2017 20:14

CremeEggThief · 19/02/2017 20:17

I wonder how well Valerie will fit in?

Groovee · 19/02/2017 20:18

Ihope is she aunt Sal?

dnamummy · 19/02/2017 20:18

Guess I'm older than legopiece!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/02/2017 20:24

Is the dentist going to be Trixie's new man?

DesolateWaist · 19/02/2017 20:25

Trixie and the dentist will be together before the end of the season.
