Teal, babies and death. Call The Midwife it’s Dr One Face

Poor Barbara

Oh so basically the actress wanted out so she could pursue other career opportunities? I think they should have killed her in the fire last episode in that case.

Bloody hell MrsJayy that's awful. Your poor poor friend.

Bloody hell, I wasn't expecting that

I agree that Linda Bassett is wonderful.

let's hope they aren't going to get rid of Phyllis! We need her to hold everything together! God, I'm a mess. I'm indulging in chocolate to get over that. So sad.

Bloody hell, why did they kill Barbara? ! Haven't cried so much in ages 😭

Thank you Anne

Sister Mj made it about herself as usual for a lady of god she is so self absorbed

I hoped the Doc would save the young man from prison. Bet Tom goes off the rails now

How old is Tom?

I think it's a pity that Phylis has taken over a lot of Sr Julienne's role. I much prefer Sr J to Phylis.

Toddler Phylis is bloody ace!

What's that about teal? Not noticed it on the threads or on the programme.

Heidi Thomas has really side lined SIster Jullienne I wonder why?

Probably because she's so competent at her job, that the annoying dr wouldn't have to be called in.

Yes I was already upset that the poor lad got three years, and then Barbara went and died! I haven't been this touched by a tv drama in years

😭oh no! Is all I’ve got to say.

She was nice. Why couldn’t they have pensioned her off to the country! Killing her is just awful. And what was the point of the borstal story? I thought he was going to get off just so there was some light relief in the most depressing episode ever. But nope.

I want to be Phyllis when I grow up.

Sometimes the acting is a bit creaky in CTM but tonight deserves all the plaudits.

I found Barbaras death really upsetting and also when the young man went to prison. I have a whole list of people they could have killed off before Barbara. They could do the doctor, Shelagh and Timothy in one fell swoop for all I care but I liked Barbara and Tom.

I also cannot possibly believe that the suit would fit both Timothy and Michael

Can't believe they killed off Barbara! 😢

So sad that Michael got three years too!

I still like Shelagh turner and I would be upset if they killed her off (there I said it ) Tim on the other hand has to be the drippiest child/teen on tv

I [heart] (why isn't there a heart emoji MN? ) Phyllis / Linda Bassett and Barbara / Charlotte Ritchie. Lovely acting. So sad.

Oh they did kill Nurse Drippy then? I wondered if they might. Won’t go near tumblr tonight then, they’ll all be in mourning.

Glad to hear that Linda Bassett is still awesome though. She always was.
