Don't forget "Abie's Irish Rose" was for many years one of the most popular plays in New York.

Who knows that Harry is her grandson? I know both Nurse Crane and Roger's mother do, but does anyone else? After all, he called her "Grandma" in private, not in public.

To be fair to Sophia, even if they go down the "Aaron is the real father" route, I believe she honestly thinks Tate is the father.

No, she isn't. She's behaving like someone who plans to keep her baby and have a relationship with the baby's father.

My VPN was being wonky, so I didn't get a chance to do a deleted scene thing, but I remember there was part of a scene cut out between Joyce and Trixie where she tells Trixie she has a letter from America. Trixie opens it up, reads it, smiles, and tells Joyce that Matthew has sent her a lock of Jonty's hair. She says she must miss him terribly, and she says she does. Anyway, I think that helped inspire Trixie to take some of Arlene's baby's hair to give to her.

No one is forcing Sophia into motherhood; it's what she's wanted all along. Or at least a way for her to get Tate. She's lucky that both Tate and Holly are morons who still haven't figured out her game.

Leonie Elliott started this Monday on "Eastenders" playing Charlotte. She is a journalist who does a true crime podcast. It is also available on Britbox.

The show started out in 1957, Deleted Scenes CTM 14.1 Right after the scene in the hospital with the doctors and the pregnant lady being scheduled for a cesarean, there is a scene with Trixie and Nancy. Nancy tells Trixie that she's brought her a cuppa and some ginger nuts while she unpacks and then observes that Trixie has brought her own sheets even though the sheets on the bed had been changed already. Paraphrasing, Trixie says she brought the sheets because the weather is going to be getting warmer and she didn't think she'd be able to handle flannelette. She says they are from her and Matthew's apartment. Nancy says they must remind her of Matthew and that she must miss him. Trixie says she does. They cut out part of the dialog between Trixie and Sister Julienne. Sister Julianne also says that the board does not approve of them praying delivering contraceptive device and sexual education and she suspects, babies. She also says that the board did not like that their first obedience is to God and not to them. Right before Trixie asks what they are going to do and Sister Julienne answers her, Shelagh comes in and says she's been called out to Sira Patel, who Sister Julienne says is having her first baby and that it could be a long night. Shelagh says she will relish it especially since Trixie is back she probably won't be doing many more night calls. Right before the scene with Reggie, Violet and the newsboys in the shop we see Shelagh delivering the baby. Right after the scene of Paula throwing up, there is a scene at the Turner house. Angela is trying to comb the tangles out of May's hair who says it hurts; Dr. Turner says they should just cut them out. Shelagh returns and scolds them lightheartedly about having biscuits for breakfast. Dr Turner says when the cats away the mice will play. He says he's made fresh coffee and asks about Shelagh's patient. She says it was long and a posterior presentation but that it was everything the job was meant to be. Right after the first scene at Paula's home with Dr. Turner, we go to Nancy's room. Nancy is in curlers by the refrigerator when Colette walks in and hands her a post that she got from Sister Veronica. Nancy tells her it's time for her toast and peanut butter and that she's bought a jar of crunchy this time. They cut out a bit where Nurse Crane is inspecting Joyce, Rosalind and Trixie in their uniforms. Trixie says she has fully fashioned stockings on just in case the pay raise is announced. Nurse Crane picks something off Joyce's sweater. They cut out a bit right after the men came to the Buckle house. Roger tells Nancy that Collette is first (presumably about the engagement), nuns second and that he is going to ring his mother in the morning. He then says he's going to take her and Colette to meet his mother over the Easter weekend. They cut out a scene at Violet's shop with Shelagh and Nancy discussing the bridesmaid dresses. Nancy says she wants the girls wearing different colors, perhaps 3 shades of pink or maybe blue, green, or yellow. Colette says she likes lilac. Nancy says they should ask Miss Higgins who says when she was a girl mixed colors at a wedding were called sweet pea shades. Dews, qho ia up on a ladder comes in for some gentle ribbing about his part in the "uprising" which he says fizzled out because the president and prime minister resigned. Violet observes that it was more because people had better things to do. She tells him to stay up there so they can check out the pastel taffet

I worked with a man with spina bifida who used a wheelchair. He was quite overweight, and he told us his doctor admonished him that his weight was shortening his life. He told him that the doctor who delivered him told his parents to leave him in the hospital because he'd be dead within a year. He pointed out that even if he dropped dead right then, he had lived more than 40 years longer than anyone predicted.

To be fair, I wasn't watching the show when that happened. I used to watch it back in the 1970's but I started watching other shows. If EJ threatened her with a gun, that changes everything. That is definitely rape. The fact that he wouldn't let her out of the car also contributes to it being rape.

. Do people understand that what EJ did wouldn’t have been classified as rape at that time? It was scummy and terrible behavior, yes, but not rape. I believe much of Johnny's anger stems from the fact that he blames EJ for why he and Chanel cannot adopt the baby.

Good Lord, does Ireland ever look like her dad!!!

Olly Rix has started on CASUALTY It's available on BRITBOX. Funnily enough, all three of the actors who played Trixie's love interests have done time in the HOLBY CITY/CASUALTY universe following their stint on MIDWIFE.

Don't forget that even if Sophia is serious about adoption, she can change her mind up to a year after the adoption process begins.

If she wanted to have the baby adopted, she would have signed up with any number of adoption agencies and had it adopted. The fact that she keeps referring to it as "our baby" is another big tell.
