And, I think they did the casting AMAZINGLY based on the book. I totally agree about Sister Evangelina, she makes much more sense. Sorry, I could talk about this forever and no one I know IRL (including DH) watches the show let alone reads the book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-771869 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:07:46 +0000 mrs. 64 771869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I read the first one between the two seasons. I was a little upset that I found out some spoilers (mainly about Jimmy) but it was a good book. I think Sister Evangelina's character made a lot more sense after reading the book. Let me know how the others are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-768759 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:08:50 +0000 MamaBehr 768759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have any of you read the books?!?! I'm totally in love! I just finished her first Memoir "Call the Midwife: a Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times." It is amazing to me how closely PBS kept to the stories she wrote! DH already spilled the beans that I'm getting her other Memoirs for Mother's Day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-768656 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:22:56 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 768656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been worried about Sister B from the start it feels like but as a haracter, I'm glad she's still around. Her quirkiness keeps me in fits! Haven't finished the latest episode, though - have to watch during late night nursing sessions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-768626 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:04:41 +0000 avivoca 768626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't watch lase week (sob!) but I've been worried about her for the past few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-768623 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:03:13 +0000 mrs. 64 768623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08 I'm up to date. Which one are you talking about?</p> <p>Who has been watching? I'm worried about Sister Bernadette. :( Also the storyline with the dad and daughter was so sad. I'm glad it had a happy(ish) ending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-734146 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:20:45 +0000 bunnylove08 734146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok who saw yesterday's episode? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-715116 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:50:59 +0000 FarmWifeGina 715116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: But still not widely accepted by many medical professionals. But yes, there is a return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-715109 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:49:13 +0000 avivoca 715109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: at least we can take comfort in our greater appreciation for the old ways now, as they are seeing a resurgence in popularity and use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-715102 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:47:36 +0000 78h2o 715102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just watched it for the first time tonight. I was totally confused half the time, but am interested enough to try to watch the older episodes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-715078 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:41:54 +0000 FarmWifeGina 715078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*Spoiler alert* Ugh, this episode is pissing me off! All the advice the sisters were getting from the old books--the marshmallow, the red raspberry leaf, the birthing chair--was perfectly good advice! And "encouraging" gas "just to take the edge off." OMGEEEEE! Pffffft. Well, the 1950s WAS when maternity care got all modernized and went downhill from there.<br /> ETA: Not that I think it was a good idea for the sisters to avoid professional care for long, I just hate the disdain for the old ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-705116 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:37:56 +0000 bunnylove08 705116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I would love to know more about jenny. </p> <p>I want to start reading the books now, but I have a feeling it might spoil the episodes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-705048 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:21:49 +0000 MrsKoala 705048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: I have full out cried watching every episode. If it's not about a baby, it's because someone died. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-705039 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:19:05 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 705039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I've just finished the first season and I still don't know if I'm hooked or not but I'll say that I am for the sake of argument. Anyone else hoping that the secret Jenny is running from (trying not to spoil it!) is explained more in the next season? And here's hoping Chummy's confidence continues to blossom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-watch-call-the-midwife#post-701175 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 06:31:22 +0000 mrs. 64 701175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so shocked about Jimmy!</p> <p>This week's episode was rough!
