BBC Doctors - The Last Christmas in Letherbridge

[MadisonAvenue]

I read that the last episode before the Christmas break is on Dec 14th, can’t see where we’re heading with a cliffhanger this year.

Feel this is going to be a sad story.

Me too

Has she left hospital?

Oh dear

Would police really be out looking for her?

Maybe best Scarlett keeps out of it.

Jess just wanted a last day to 'feel normal'

Poor Scarlett. This isn't her fault.

Poor Jess

This is very sad.

I get the dad is upset but he's really out of order. Scarlett didn't plan it.

I'm glad he's talking to her.

I’m glad she had a bit of fun with Scarlett.

Poor kid.

Poor dad too, even though he’s being an arsehole.

Oh no

Poor Scarlett

Well this is cheery.

Scarlett will be wanting to stay in work next time.

This is such a sad one.

Sad but well written and well acted.
The young actor who plays Scarlett has come a long way from her early days.

Desperately sad one today 😢

Classic Doctors in the morning is also sad at the moment. Car crash death, rape and possibly a murder too. Not a cheery start to the day.

She was always very good in the Dumping Ground- I miss watching things like that with my dcs .

Scarlett made me cry. That's not meant to happen!

Me too

Well, some of these filler episodes are much better than others, that was a good one. I thought Jess was going to be shoplifting. Poor Scarlett, I agree she is a very good actress.

DS1 watched today's episode with me on catch-up (he doesn't usually) and when he saw Scarlett he said "what! How old is her character supposed to be! She's like, a child, she was only in that CBBC show really recently!"

I fear that covid and lockdowns etc have warped his sense of time just as much as they have mine!

Very sad, but yes, well acted.

Please can we have a cheery WTF episode soon, writers! Like the Joe Pasquale one!

It was a very well done one yesterday, and the type of episode they do well- (thankfully no soppy Sid turning as Rapid Response).

I don't know if these episodes will have been filmed just before or around the time they found out the show was being cancelled- but soon we must move to episodes where the actors will have known the axe had fallen- and that must be hard. I remember watching Holby towards the end- and the storylines (bar one fairly big one) got thinner- the rest got silly, the cast disappeared, and there was a feeling of 'the end'.

Doctors has always been hit and miss any way, so sustaining it will be difficult - unless they think it will get an 11th hour reprieve. (Which I do hope it does, however daft it is, I'd rather watch it than another quiz show).
