ITV’s Malpractice viewers left ‘screaming at the TV’ over medical drama’s latest episode
FANS of the show Malpractice took to social media to share their disbelief at the latest episode.
Viewers were left “screaming at the TV” as they watched the show unfold.
Doctor Lucinda Edwards, the protagonist, found herself entangled in a drug ring that supplies fentanyl to drug addicts – following the death of fellow GP, Rob.
Whilst at a pharmacy, Lucinda attempted to secure payment for distributing the drugs and turns on her phone, to discover missed calls from her partner Tom.
In a later scene, Lucinda’s daughter Abi was seen crawling under the bed before Lucinda left.
Shortly after, Tom discovered Abi sat motionless – with a packet of pills in her hand.
Tom rushed Abi to hospital, where he told Lucinda’s coworkers that Abi had ingested some Diazepam that he was prescribed for a shoulder injury.
Abi’s condition was left uncertain until the following week while Tom and the medical staff frantically attempted to contact Lucinda.
The episode concluded as Lucinda finally turned on her phone and raced to the hospital.
Leaving them on the edge of their seats, viewers of the show took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with one writing: “Omg that was a very tense one last night, best drama I’ve seen in a long time.
“Can’t wait for next week’s.”
A second couldn’t stand the tension, stating: “OMG! Omg Abbey has taken the pills! I am screaming at the TV.”
“That was tense!” exclaimed another.
Speaking of her high-intensity role, Actress Niamh Algar, who plays Dr Lucinda Edwards explained: “Lucinda is a registrar at the West Yorkshire Royal Hospital working in the A&E department.
“Having been on the frontline during the pandemic.
