Was Dr. Turner even in the books? It’s ridiculous to portray him as singlehandedly caring for the entire district as well as running the maternity home. Even with Simpering Shelagh as his trusty sidekick.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 14/01/2020 14:59

He was but he wasn’t the only GP IIRC

Mrsjayy · 14/01/2020 15:02

Yes he was in the books briefly, Stephen Mcgann has a degree in science something or other so I guess he is keen for his wife to let him show off his medical knowledge on the programme ! I dont mind the Turners but i do think they need to calm Dr turner down a bit.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 14/01/2020 15:16

We need a nice youngish GP come and sweep Trixie off her feet, she's earnt her happy ending

WineOrGinOrBoth · 14/01/2020 15:38

The real Trixie married IIRC.

Mrsjayy · 14/01/2020 15:38

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 14/01/2020 15:41

Dentist and wife decided to try again for daughter's sake

Mrsjayy · 14/01/2020 15:44

Oh did they I can't remember that i do remember Trixie being terribley good about it all then heading to rehab.

Pebble21uk · 14/01/2020 16:08

I read something the other day, think it might have been a tweet, where Stephen McGann called the programme, 'MY little show' - says it all!

NumbersStation · 14/01/2020 16:11

My little show?

It wouldn’t have been anything like it if ye weren’t boffing the gaffer.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 14/01/2020 16:17

I was reading something the other day.. apparently little Angela Turner is still played by the same little girl as the baby from the first appearance.

Juliette20 · 14/01/2020 16:29

Yeah we do need more about the midwives' lives. I'm catching up with the old ones at the same time so getting properly confused at times. Next week Lucille looks to feature quite a bit though so fingers crossed.

MrsJamin · 14/01/2020 16:31

We used to have at least one storyline of a midwife's love life - and there's nothing to follow at all here. I think I'm done. It's not worth the time!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 14/01/2020 16:59

Trixie more than deserves her happy ever after doesn't she? I did wonder whether she may end up with Tom the vicar yet, although he's not been in it for a series or two, since Barbara died.

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/01/2020 17:04

We used to have at least one storyline of a midwife's love life - and there's nothing to follow at all here I think Lucille's love life is going to feature next week.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 14/01/2020 17:05

I think Tom went to join Barbara's father wherever his mission is

GlitteryGracie · 14/01/2020 18:33

Dentist and wife decided to try again for daughter's sake

Have just watched these episodes (Christmas binge watch) she could stand the thought that his daughter was struggling with the divorce so told the dentist that she thought he should go back to his wife. Not sure wether he actually did it though as he hung around for a few episodes.

GlitteryGracie · 14/01/2020 18:38

Have there been any hints/suggestions about Val's complete lack of love life? She's not going to become a nun is she Shock

74NewStreet · 14/01/2020 18:39

Isn’t her fella in next week’s episode?

GlitteryGracie · 14/01/2020 18:52

Lucille's fella is I think but haven't heard any mention of Val's fella. I wondered if she's gay but they've done that storyline Grin

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/01/2020 20:06

Val's not religious, though, is she? So I doubt if she'll become a nun.

74NewStreet · 14/01/2020 20:07

Oh, I got confused, of course it’s Lucille’s bloke.

74NewStreet · 14/01/2020 20:08

Wasn’t there a bit where Val wanted to sit in on the nun’s service to see what it was all about, though? Maybe sowing the seeds for joining up, but that’s been done too...

GlitteryGracie · 14/01/2020 20:16

Val's not religious, though, is she? So I doubt if she'll become a nun.

Thought I'd read that she was an atheist.....maybe we'll see her meet somebody soon, a couple of eligible men for Val and Trixie Smile

Heidi Thomas did Desert Island Discs recently and talked about how many more seasons it's been commissioned for, said that they'd used all of Jenny Worth's books in S1-2, and most disturbingly - claimed that Dr Turner was only ever supposed to have a few lines in one episode but there was so much good feedback they wrote him in permanently. Who did they ask??????

She also said this was the first season she'd not written all the episodes and was taking a step back from writing and was concentrating on producing. I wonder if the other writers have to wrote him in.
