Doctors - Robs PTSD, Karen's all Me, Bears here for tea

[KilledByWitches]

Old thread filled, hope nobody minds!

Is there a word shortage now? Today's script was dreary and repetitive. Where it existed.

Ok- so I googled- and there was exactly a week between Cherry leaving - and Emma joining the Mill (well, joining Doctors as Emma- as we know, Dido has been in it 5 times before ).

They are doing a lot of flash backs and repetition- I suppose it is plot device to reinforce the point, or something.

It's not a bad episode- I mean- I watched far worse .

(And it makes a change from Rob being constantly horrible to Gobby).

We all have @Raahh. We need more whimsy. If I wanted misery I'd watch Eastenders.

Too -oh, I agree- I'm glad I'm watching it now and not at 2pm. It's a but heavy for 2pm.

But... is it really ok for Emma to drop an FME shift for a hairdressers appointment? What excuse did she give the station?

I thought it was a good storyline but weighted too heavily on Jimmy's self-analysis.

I thought the close up of the bunny slippers was a bit

Hmm I quite liked today's, I particularly liked Emma's (rightful) insistence that neither she or Jimmi were at fault for the neighbours death: that was solely Ross's responsibility. I don't quite understand why Jimmi took it the way he did but I don't actually think he is as together mentally as he wants to be - and it was nice to be reminded of his OCD.

I liked this one. If you go through that i am sure you would question everything, looking for how you allowed it to happen. You didn't, of course, and that's part of the problem. The massive loss of control as you realise that you can do everything right and things still go wrong. So you want to find something you did wrong, that way you know if you do everything right from now on it won't happen again and you will be in control.

Just watched it, I enjoyed that one, I like it when they focus on one story and play it totally straight for a change. Jimmi and Emma were great. Lou looked way too young to live in a house like that though. Hope Jimmi's going to be OK.

Excessively the house thing was in stark contrast to the transplant father/son 'with no money' - because we only ever saw them on their door step- obviously social distancing doesn't allow for being in 'small' houses.

It really is getting silly that we are meant to believe that everybody- even when the storyline is about how they can't afford to feed their cat- lives in a vast house with a kitchen so big it could fit a 4 bed semi in it .
.

Did you notice the other day when Al, Luca and Starbuck went out for a drink they had three small tables pushed together one each so they were miles apart.

I want to know how they can afford these massive houses. Property in Letherbridge must be very cheap.

"Did you notice the other day when Al, Luca and Starbuck went out for a drink they had three small tables pushed together one each so they were miles apart"

Yes!

Don't know about the other soaps but Emmerdale has gone back to having characters hugging and kissing so it's much more realistic, have hated seeing characters fall in love without touching! I hope that means Doctors stops the obvious social distancing which is impacting on how the actors can deliver their lines etc.

Doctors seems to be filmed a lot further in advance - they will have been working with more restrictions.

Yes, one of the characters showed themselves filming in Winter wear during a heatwave this Summer and we’ve not seen that yet.

But then Letherbridge has it’s own climate doesn’t it.

Letherbridge is the only Soap location I would love to live in. Posh houses, medical care on tap, and no sinkholes or gangland murders.

As long as you avoid The Churchill!

Oh my goodness the Churchill, glad we no longer have Eesh with her giant chip on the shoulder about having grown up with so little privileges compared to the other staff at The Mill! Mind you it makes me laugh because it reminds me of the Jasmine Allen Estate which was where most of the ne'er do Wells were in The Bill!

Luca needs to stop stirring.

I'm not keen on the doctor, she's been quite negative, right from the off.

Scary hair do.
