I agree. As much as I hated seeing others leaving, and would love ones like Chummy to return, if Nurse Crane left, I would not enjoy the show as much at all. The minute she comes along to any situation and starts with 'lass...' I know all will be well. Or if it's not well, she will deal with everything so bravely and appropriately.I thought Nurse Crane was going to be an old-fashioned, grumpy bossy-boots at first! She was also a bit sharp with one of the other midwives and I thought I would never like her. By the end of the episode, my opinion of her had completely changed and I absolutely adore her. She is the one I would most want to be friends with and the one I would choose to help me deliver my baby if I were to ever procreate. She’s very modern in a lot of ways ( drives, vegetarian, atheist/agnostic which were ally pretty uncommon for people, especially women to be in the late 50’s/early 60’s), organised, likes learning/challenging herself ( Spanish classes), is really organised ( Rolodex), and just generally has a really modern outlook on situations. She offers practical help, warm and comforting but realistic reassurance and is still open to finding love ( the man in her Spanish class) she and loves clothes/fashion ( she got just as excited as the younger characters when the new uniforms came in, a few Seasons ago now).
I thought I saw him!I loved it. Thankfully they seem to have dialled down on the Dr Turner is a superhero storylines so far.
I think I'll like the new nun, she seems fun.
Did I spy the old Martin Fowler actor in the next episode?
Yes, you would never think Miss Higgins and Nurse Crane would be friends! They have nothing in common, except both being unmarried older ladies with an interest in being organised and medicine/science. Miss Higgins is so prim and proper, probably a church-goer and seems to be a little old-fashioned. Seeing her and Nurse Crane team up for the Christmas special was phenomenal, they were both so calm, organised and really reassuring.I agree.

I love her friendship with Miss Higgins too. Something I liked last night was when Miss Higgins said 'present at death' could be put on the form. It seemed such a small thing, but it wasn't, for the woman who had just lost her partner.
And trust Miss Higgins to know her forms
I suppose the writers see the clothes thing as part of her character although I found it a bit drawn out too.I really enjoyed tonight's episode but I'm really worried for precious Lucille. She must be protected at all costs. Was cheering for her when she was like fuck you have your baby without me. It's an interesting storyline but I hope Lucille doesn't leave.
Trixie was very annoying in this episode. The talk of clothes seems so juvenile now.
I thought he'd aged a lot, considering he's only 37Why has Martin Fowler not aged? What is his secret?
I thought I recognised him from somewhere couldn't put my finger in it.I thought he'd aged a lot, considering he's only 37
It is terribly cheesy but good Sunday night viewing I suppose. I was going to watch Midsomer Murders last night but ITV changed its schedules because of the Prince Harry interview.I really like this show most of the time, but the fact that the characters are always holier than thou grates a bit at times. Some of it is way too cheesy!
I enjoy the medical side of it though.
I’m just catching up and I genuinely thought it was Harry Maguire at first glanceI loved it. Thankfully they seem to have dialled down on the Dr Turner is a superhero storylines so far.

I’m guessing debt because she’d not have had the shop’s bag if it was stolen.Oh Lucille come back immediately.
So Nancy... Either stealing or wracking up debt. What do we think?
