I think Geoffrey is a chiropractor or physiotherapistJust finished S14, except for the Christmas special.
It felt like a much older episode, as it was moving, heart-warming and dramatic in moments.
I despair of Nancy, she just seems so disorganised, whether it is regarding wedding planning or taking birth control/knowing when she fell pregnant/how far along she was. At least she had Nurse Crane and Roger to help her through it.
I thought the hearing with Joyce was well done and the whole situation and her fears felt very true to the time. Lucille definitely had some racist families to deal with too, and Cyril and Rosalind having their relationship commented on negatively also felt right for the time period.
I loved Sister Catherine’s jubilant excitement at joining the order ( her smile is just so beautiful!) and loved seeing some familiar faces back at the mother house ( no Sister Frances tough, boo!) and loved seeing the preparations for that, which I don’t think we ever have before. It was so organised compared to Nancy’s messy lack of planning.
The moments with Sister Catherine’s sister Helen, their closeness and conversations about their family made me properly cry. I think Helen is probably a les, as she was wearing a suit and tie during Catherine’s vows to become a nun, and there was mention of their father not approving of her lifestyle. The scene on the beach of them together, dancing and laughing was just perfect.There was also a moment between Sister MJ abd Sister Catherine where they have a really poignant conversation about faith/doubt and it had me sobbing.
Then the very young pregnant teen and her relationship with her parents was very touching too. Rosalindreally stepped up there and I wish we got to see more of that on the show. She’s extremely competent and seems to be gaining confidence, which is great.
The last couple of episodes felt like old Seasons of the show, which was lovely, bar the twee Turners. I am happy May is actually officially part of the family now, that is great for them, but Dr Turner still seems to know about every new disease and has heard of some innovative new cure/medication/treatment that he is going to pioneer in Poplar. Also, I really don’t think Timothy would have time to call home just to congratulate his sister getting adopted, as he is a medical student!
My hope is that Nancy and co go back to Ireland once the baby is well enough to travel, and that Sister Catherine stays at Nonnatus, though I think I’m going to be disappointed and she’s going to stay at the Mother House instead. It’s a shame as I have become very attached to her/her character.
I need more Nurse Crane, especially working with Miss Higgins. Those ladies get stuff done! I loved Nurse Crane’s rage at the messed up Rolodex, that felt very true to character.
I find Geoffrey very unrealistic. What does he do for work again? It just seems so unlikely that he’d be so well-travelled ( wasn’t going anywhere by plane reserved for the rich and famous at this point still?) and knowing a ton about Japanese customs and culture. I knew the vase was going to be repaired that way as soon as Reggie mentioned it.

Geoffrey is an osteopath.
I thought it was something like that. Would that have paid enough back in the day to fund multiple trips aboard? I wouldn’t think so!
I think he was meant to be a Stephen Ward style figure who mixed in fancy social circles.
Helen George looks like she’s unable to move her face.

She is an incredible actress. I thought she was brilliant in Call The Midwife, I never suspected her as the illegal abortionist.
I am really looking forward to it. Kathy Burke saw it and said on her Instagram that it was one of the finest pieces of theatre she's ever seen.
I saw the play with Linda Bassett yesterday. It was fabulous. She was outstanding as an elderly lady who has a fall and declines in a care home.

He's an osteopath. He didn't seem to be working regularly, but then in the last series he had rooms on Harley Street.
She broke up with her husband a few years ago. Then was in a relationship with her husband from CTM. But that finished quite a while ago too. Maybe she is talking about a different situation? Close friend or family that have upset her?
I like Helen and I’m glad her stage career is going really well.
I've seen this clip a lot today put out on bbc sounds about her having to take her kids to work with her and them sleeping in the dressing room and how its just them, obviously put out by the bbc for click bait headlines disappointedly, but its quite nice that she's actually acknowledged her ex and how he also looks after the kids etc as remember it being quite a toxic break up
