Lorraine remarked: "The thing is, you're never going to run out of stories," prompting Jenny to say: "Fortunately, that's what Heidi Thomas (series writer) said. She said that each year presents new social changes, new changes in medicine and art - everything that affects this community in Poplar."
"We've dealt with female mutilation, backstreet abortions and how that's affected [the characters] and we've the seen the changes that have happened to the women there. They're not easy subjects and they're not easy endings either, we don't always make it work out."
