Anyone else wonder if Patsy and Delia have ex's?

Like I can see it going both ways.

I’m imaging Patsy having an ex-girlfriend from boarding school, and Delia having a cover-up ex-boyfriend from grammar school

This is a genuine mystery to me

Like honestly why even write a lesbian character (AND give her a love interest) if you’re not even going to show her actually being a lesbian. Why bother writing and talking about their story and it’s importance when 90% of their story is cut from everything but the dvds? Honestly I don’t get it. Especially with how much Patsy and Delia we are supposed to see this season, it ruins the flow of the episode when they literally cut and paste around them. This is so frustrating I’m honestly so mad right now

#I understand the frustration #but maybe CtM is taking it slow?#the fact that there's a lesbian ship #I'd like to think so #and also bbc is conservative

do you know where the name "pupcake" comes from?

No idea, anon. I’ve never used the term myself

#don't particularly like it either

If you all were curious, Call The Midwife US basically cuts Pupcake scenes.

Tonight Delia arrived at Nonnatus and that was literally all we saw of her. And that wasn’t the only cut. This episode seemed very cut and pasted together. I’ll have to rewatch the UK one, but I know they AT LEAST cut pupcake scenes. Ugh.

#what???#ugh why am I not surprised?

Call The Midwife is important because it has shown us that even the strongest of people need support. It has shown women that we are not alone.

One of the things I appreciated about Delia and Patsy’s ending this season was that the show managed to both stay true to the period and the homophobia they would have faced, but also gave them a happy ending.

Like…life is still hard for them. They still have to be super closeted in their workplace and are in danger if they’re ever found out. They can’t make out willy nilly in the hallways like Barbara and Tom do, and their relationship is strained by the fact that they can’t be open with each other. Even Delia’s mom’s reaction is kind of shitty. While most people read it as acceptance I read it as resignation-she’s starting to admit to herself that she has a queer daughter, and the only way she can cope is by not openly acknowledging it and quietly pleading with Delia to keep their family reputation in tact.

But in spite of that the show still lets them be happy. They still get to go to Paris with each other, they still get to have friends, they still get to be happy nursing and doing work that fulfills them. It’s a pretty good illustration of how you can do a period drama about queer folks, highlight that they faced some pretty terrible shit, but also let them a) literally just live and b) live fulfilling lives in spite of that.

Basically Call the Midwife you’re making up for hitting a lesbian with a car last season please don’t fuck this up.

I’m still surprised that instead of patsy and delia being forced out of the closet and their lives being ruined, they jetted off to the most romantic place and delias mum accepted them. This is how you develop lesbian characters - I applaud you Heidi

#it's not perfect #but i LOVE that they went to paris
