Who was Kevin, was he ever on the show? I've completely lost track of Chim's history. I know he had a younger half brother named Albert, and the last thing I remember is that basically his father remarried when he was little and started a whole new family so he had been estranged from him for years and never really knew his brother.
Kevin was the son of the couple who took Chimney in after his mother died. They aren't biological brothers.
Kevin became a firefighter (if I remember right to emulate Chimney), and he died saving a pregnant woman during a fire. Chimney felt responsible for his death.

I just love how vivid Isaac's dreams always seem to be.
Can Sass get into his dreams? Would he reveal to the others what they were about?

I've pretty much decided that Chim is immortal. From rebar through the head, to being stabbed, by Doug AND a gurney, to performing triage with viral encephalitis, nothing can stop our man!
For someone who was supposed to have been at death's door when he was found, he made a remarkable recovery especially considering he didn't have anything in the way of the necessary medical equipment in his hospital room.

I would rather take Liz to the end than Q. Q at least is somewhat competent in challenges, and he did make a move to save himself.
I have a new-found respect for Q for not falling for Liz's attempts to manipulate him into taking her on his reward. Her sob story didn't come close to rivaling Bhanu's which Q had to listen to repeatedly for the first part of the game. A contestant who hadn't had that previous experience might have caved.

Those cars were barely big enough for the teams and their backpacks, much less two more people with camera and sound equipment! I don't think the cars even had backseats, did they? Seemed like an open-ish area where they put their bags.
There also would have been the risk of all the equipment getting wet if they were in the same cars.

Another season starts Tueday, 7 May, and comes on after the new season of Derricos.
The Busbys must need money again. How many of their "businesses" have failed?

My guess is that if an actor/actress requests to be written off and killed it means they have no interest in returning to the show and want to be absolutely sure they will never be asked to return for an episode or a short story arc.
Sasha Alexander also asked to be written out of NCIS in a way so that she could never come back.

Why doesn't Liz look like she's starving if she can't eat anything there?
1 hour ago, Tango64 said:Yeah, I'm about to call shenanigans on her allergy claims. If she can't eat hardly anything available to them, how is she still walking around?
I have my doubts that the Survivor doctor would have let her be in the cast if there really wasn't anything she could eat anywhere on the island.
I also don't need the constant updates about how many hours it's been since she's had something to eat. She can leave anytime as far as I'm concerned. However, I'm sure she'll drive the cooks crazy with her dietary restrictions after she's been voted out, and I really don't wish that on them.

I was expecting Jeremy to have a panic button if Thony had not scienced her way out of the gas trap.
I kept thinking "It's time to blow your cover and call for backup!"
Once again, Thorny goes for maximum drama by stapling Jeremy's head with no anesthetic when she had super glue available.

Not to mention, turnips are HARD, I can barely chop one with a sharp knife. I don't know how those kids were carving it with a spoon.
I'm guessing it was a grapefruit spoon.

Count me. . . in the "stepfather is the father from pretty much jump" gang.
However, why didn't Rosalind immediately realize that this hadn't been consensual when Allison said she had never had a boyfriend? Why did she jump to "she doesn't seem to understand how baby got in?"
Rosalind was more naive about it than Allison was.

I would have expected them to encourage Alison to have the baby adopted.
I'm always amazed at how infrequently this is ever considered on this show. It was almost commonplace in the US in the '50s and '60s. Maybe the socialist government in the UK discouraged it thinking its cradle to grave benefits should have been sufficient to support anyone in any situation.

call the midwife 13.7 deleted scenes:
Right before Fred tells Violet about the great deal he got in turnips we see him shaking hands with a man and asking him to leave them in front of the shop; he asks if they will be be there in plenty of time, the man says he heard him say so, didn't he.
The mystery has not been solved.

Except you need a full treatment, not just a few leftover pills.
And, climbing onto my ER nurse soapbox, there should never be any "leftover" antibiotics. Take the entire prescription unless told to do otherwise by your doc. That's why so may superbugs have developed.
Back in the days before the rapid strep test was available, there were doctors who would give you a full 10 or even 14 day prescription of penicillin while a throat culture was pending. If in 24 to 48 hours the culture was negative for strep, it would have been appropriate to stop the antibiotics. With 3 kids in the house, that could have given her more than enough "leftovers" to cover her syphilis infection.

When I saw the turnip truck pull up, my reaction was "I can't believe they are doing this plotline." I did think it was cute the way they figured out what to do with them at the end. They did make adorable little jack-o-lanterns.
Was "I didn't just fall off the turnip truck" an expression in Briton in the late '60s?
Maybe that is the symbolism they were going for in regard to the other story lines? Or, maybe it was their variation of "making lemonade out of lemons?"

The one piece that does is Matthew hightailing it out of town to go follow his "pay off in five years NYC warehouse" (do they turn it into a dance club? Artist lofts?) folly. He was so completely sad sack, I was happy to see him get on the plane. He could have sold those warehouses, stayed in London with his law license and done something good. Instead, he goes chasing after a crazy dream. I wonder if that's why Lady Mom was the way she was in the last ep
He appears to be a gambling addict. Even though he didn't burn through his/the foundation's money at the track or a casino or poker games, he thrives on high-risk investments to satisfy his addiction.
Trixie is probably seeing herself in him which is what she finds so frightening, not just the trip to the poor house. He doesn't seem able to stop the high-risk behavior.
Is it too late for him to have handed Nonnatus House back to the nuns? Is that still a seizable asset due to him waiting too long to return it?

I wonder if grandmother's syphilis was too late to treat. Dr. Turner sure was making a lot of silent faces. I think she said it had been at least a year since her chancre disappeared.
She said she had taken her children's antibiotics from when they had tonsillitis. That most likely would have been penicillin, so it should have adequately taken care of it.
Obviously, she knew exactly what she had and how to treat it. She wasn't naive about it or in denial about what her husband had been up to.

What the hell was with the turnips? That was supposed to be uplifting?
I was pretty confused by that, too. Hopefully, there is a deleted scene that will explain how the whole story was supposed to fit in. Maybe there's some symbolism behind it that the writers were trying for and missed (pretty badly).

From Amber and Vinny's youtube channel: they are engaged and planning their wedding in November.
Maybe they can figure out a way to spend their entire married lives never having to get into the same car with each other. Otherwise, it's just not going to work out.

He better not have a window seat and try to nap. I am assuming airplane walls are still walls............so that's a long way down.
We're talking about Pete: he wouldn't sit in an airplane seat without fastening his seatbelt even if the seatbelt sign was off.

I love Hetty referring to the states west of Michigan as “exotic, far-off lands.”
There are still New Yorkers today who think nothing exists west of New Jersey.

Even as a ghost, he needs transport, just like the $500 Pete promised the airline host that Sam would pay. I wonder if he stands the whole time or sits in an unused seat.
I mean this in the nicest possible way: I think it would be good for someone to die on the plane, so Pete has someone to really keep him company on the flight.

Does anyone need to be good at directions anymore?
GPS.
The house my parents owned from 1972 to 2007 was nearly impossible to find with just the address. GPS didn't improve that at all.
When we were expecting a delivery, we always told dispatchers that we needed to give directions directly to the drivers, or they would get lost. They rarely believed us and didn't put us in touch with the drivers. We would either be down at the cross street flagging them down, or they would just leave and tell dispatch there was no such address.
Fortunately, when we did have the need to call EMS, they were clever enough to be able to find us without too much delay or the need for us to be out at the street frantically waving them our way.

I’m still mad.
Peachy is the HOST. He is not a mouthpiece for what he *thinks* the audience is thinking.
I really didn't appreciate him thinking that he knew what all the viewers were thinking. That was completely out of line.

S07.E06: There Goes The Groom
in 9-1-1
However, Maddie is such a huge drama queen, she would have been "unable" to spare the time to change clothes because she would feel it might take some of the attention away from her.
