Been a 2year wait

Season 2 will follow Dr James Ford, played by Those About to Die (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/those-about-to-die-review/)'s Tom Hughes.

He finds himself under investigation after getting himself "caught between an anxious new mother’s postnatal check-up and the sectioning of a psychotic patient" in a North Yorkshire hospital, according to the show's synopsis.

The synopsis also ask
s: "Is Dr Ford a doctor with a God complex, or a victim himself?"

This season of the ITV drama will welcome a near-completely new cast, (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/malpractice-season-2-itv-cast-confirmed-newsupdate/) including Selin Hizli (Am I Being Unreasonable?) and Zoë Telford (Red Eye).

Other new additions to the ensemble are Hannah McClean (Blue Lights) and Seraphina Beh (Top Boy) amongst a whole host of new faces.

However, some fan favourites are set to return, with Norma Callahan (Helen Behan) and George Adjei (Jordan Kouamé) confirmed to reprise their roles as part of the Medical Investigation Unit for another season.

The announcement came from ITV, who said of the new series ahead of its release: "As George and Norma uncover a hospital seemingly at war with itself, to what lengths will James go to preserve his position?

"Can the MIU uncover the truth of what happened despite fierce opposition from all sides?"

Is anyone troubled by the whole Kate and James thing? Given there was a similar storyline in Pulse recently but with genders reversed. Nobody seems to have mentioned that it is wildly inappropriate that really with the power dynamics you could bring up sexual harassment at the very least. Given he also seems quite isolated and seems to be picking up a lot of her work. The team seem to like him but not her and that would indicate he is good at what he does and perhaps not her. He is trapped in a spiral though now and then everything becomes a mess up. They’ve also got him dishevelled looking, unkept, looking heavier than the actor is. He doesn’t eat right. Is living with his sister who has a party lifestyle he doesn’t really participate in. Given he is isolated as well it seems, I mean you could go in on that relationship being all types of abusive. Also WTF she’s a doctor and from the texts she was pressing him to come over. She knew he was on call.

Yes agree the Kate & James relationship is inappropriate - she is his cljnical
supervisor and so responsible for his career progression. She’s also a slimy piece of work and I don’t think he should trust her. Possibly she’s sleeping with the bald glasses head medical director guy as well

I think it’s highlighting how the push for a “natural birth” isn’t always the safest thing for mother or baby

@Blondeshavemorefun @Piggywaspushed it's Aislene

That's what it says in the subtitles and in the articles for the show as well

Really horrible watching the strangling 😞😞😞
Hated that

How weird the recaps call her Ashlene

Me too. Had to turn away. Too many bad memories of dh

@Blondeshavemorefun I didn't realise you were a maternity nurse. I thought from something you’d said in the other place that you work with youngsters like my son in a care capacity. I did wonder though if you also had a medical background because of how quickly you can calculate clicks.

And now back to the series - I’m not going to watch the rest. It’s enough that my mum choked to death on her lunch sitting up in her hospital bed without having to see bad practice and arse covering stitch ups on the TV as well as in real life.

also, you’ve been through so much in life and I’m sorry xxx

Ah bless you @Weepixie. Yes I’m a mn. Been one 15yrs And work with newborns. Have a gorgeous 8w old at the moment - been with him for 5w

but I also care and work nights with (have for 2yrs) an non verbal - non eating so only special formula milk autistic boy who is now 7 - to give mum respite - he can sleep. Or he can be up all night. Every night is diff

sorry to hear about your mum 💖

@Weepixie wow that is really awful!

No wonder you don't want to watch any more

E4 tonight

the mui dig deeper

Bloody hell

I know they gave a warning at the start, but this is awful. Don't think it can be called entertainment

So he's the true baddie

Or the worst baddie

Twats

I wonder if Sofia and James will team up to bring the bastards down.

Double twats

The twats are going to make Kate halt James's career aren't they.

It's looking like that I think.

We said art would be an arse. He sure is

Oh shit. Kate has thrown James under the bus.

Oh dear

Bloody hell, more misery

God it gets worse.

Oh this was hard watching tonight

First seeing the lady trying to give birth. Her pain and anguish

Then the baby being born and will need care for rest of his life 😢

Then the evil art Mr M lying to cover his own arse

Hopefully the other nurse /mw will say she heard her say prep for a cs and nasty art said no

Why didn't she say anything in the office with bearded man - she should have said I told you to have a cs rather then just left

The other mw being hounded. Poor Maria

All tumbling down for James and his boss kate

Tho she is trying to cover her own back and doesn't care about him

I hope in tom e5 it all gets sorted - for James and even sophie Feel sorry for Sophie now having the horrid art as her boss

And maria 🙀🙀😢😢
