Sundays at 8pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | In the Season 5 premiere, a couple disagrees about the future of their child, who was born with severe deformities. 

It’s 1961 and Poplar is beginning to feel the winds of social change, along with improvements in housing, sanitation and healthcare. Among the complex and challenging cases the nurses and midwives face are two babies born with severe deformities. In other events, Delia's mother wants her to move back home to Wales.
