Loveday Writing

This episode was also spectacular, so far the season’s best.

I know this is a premature judgement due to it being only the third episode in the season, however the reason for the premature judgement is due to one choice by the writers—exploring unknown or rather previously unwritten territory.

So far, all angles of birth at Stanton House had been explored–Annie was the girl who wanted and eventually got her baby back, Martha was the girl who gave her baby up without resistance, Shirley almost experienced the pain of losing her baby and subsequently her baby coming back from the brink and Viv knew it was the best for the twins to be adopted out, despite the fact she would obviously miss them. One angle that had yet to be explored was stillbirth and in this episode it finally was with Patricia.
