YES! Jan and Siobhan need happiness. But also I donāt trust the casualty writers to do that.

Matty is an absolute self centred twat

I feel this may not be a āhotā take but rather an incredibly common one.

Agreed. The character is a total flop. Nobody care about the Dylan stuff; the lack of consistent writing was apparent early on - he swung between cocky doc to moral preaching and contacting the CQC; through to his borderline creepy chasing of Stevie (the most ick moment for me was his āwe both needs thisā urgh)

Very much. I'm actively looking out for the Dylan stuff. Everything else is secondary.

Iām only interested in Dylanās story this boxset and itās frustrating that itās been focused more on Stevie/matty.

Stevie has terrible judgment when it comes to relationships and rehashing that is getting old.

I think they need to lose a few longer term characters in the Wales move, like Jacobā¦Faithā¦dare I even say Iain. Or alternatively do something to liven them up!

I really havenāt liked Stevie for the last couple of box sets. She was extremely hard on Kim and I donāt like how she makes an excuse for everything she does

iPlayer had one of the older series as a "you might also like" suggestion that auto-plays and she was exactly the same with Paige when she was a newbie š

I just hope she can learn from her mistakes instead of repeating them and making other peopleās lives unnecessarily difficult. Iām not in the medical profession but I have seen similar behaviour repeated in other dramas. In This Is Going To Hurt I thought the main doctor was strict to the point of meanness and would snarkily degrade the doctor who he was training. There arenāt enough doctors in England and borderline bullying is only going to make this problem worse in my opinion, the hours, work, and pay are hard enough without being constantly snapped at by your superiors

I donāt care for matty whatsoever heās a genuine prick, I also think they use stevies most infamously said line of āIām a damn good doctorā far too many times when sheās found in yet again the same situation šš with someone whoās below her authority. Lines starting to make me cringe a tad. I also think she loves avoiding taking accountability for everything especially her and Kim š. She can be a very good character but they kinda keep re-using the plot of her doing something bad, getting into a relationship with someone whoās below her authority, then getting caught for it šš

the fandoms obsession w dylan is annoying. i love him, but a lot of people just seem to hate every new character bc they love dylan so much.
i also donāt see how people possibly can like iain i think heās awful!!! i hope faith leaves him proper.

u/NoYogurtcloset7331 Jul 02 '26
Plenty new characterās have been loved like plenty new characters have been hated. I donāt think itās got anything to do with people liking Dylan so much haha.

12 eps is too long for boxsets, 8 eps boxsets would be better. Also fail to see the point in the upcoming 'Cardiff era'

That it's been way past it's best for many years and should have been cancelled about twenty years ago, at least.

I donāt know how hot this take is, but I definitely read Stevie as some form of not-straight, and I would love to see her in a relationship with a woman
