The problem is I can never remember whether Line 5/Line 6 is Eglinton or Finch or vice versa.
This practice of numbering rather than naming the lines is going to be even less useful for people who are new to Toronto and have no clue the order they were built
There have been rumours that Trixie is leaving #CallTheMidwife, but the fact that they made such a big pointy point of setting her up to be a partner in the Lady Emily clinic makes me think they intend to do something with that.
If she was leaving, they could have said nothing, or sent her back to New York, or given her some nondescript job, or had her be full-time Lady Aylward, or had her *just* work at the Lady Emily.

I love this show, and I don't want to see them do something assholic because they got in over their heads
But taking a bunch of nuns who see themselves as missionaries and sending them to another country to work with what is almost certainly going to be an Indigenous population is reminiscent of all too many historic harms, and it would be very tricky to write away from that
Since the show started in the 1950s when the NHS was new, it was clearer that the nuns were there had until recently been no alternative. The show established that they are doing good work that is valued by their patients, and that credibility has persisted
The show has been careful to set the nuns up as good people trying to do good, but that's a lot more believable in the London setting. Until the very recent mention that they see themselves as missionaries, I was reading them as people caring for their peers.
