From all the info I can gather, the cast were shocked at no further seasons so with that in mind I would assume Alex would have survived to fight another day but Claire died. The series which followed it died on it's ass, Peak practice deserved at least one more season.
As an American I love the British series I got really hooked in it because of the location. I wanting to actually visit Derbyshire sometime next year but the way the writers ended the series was pathetic. I will go back and American westerns where the good guys always win.
Writers knew this show was getting axed, so left it in a literal cliffhanger. Leave the end to our imaginations. Still, what a way to treat your loyal viewers. The makers didn't give a damn.
The same thing happened with the Royal which is the heartbeat spin-off which had its lead character Dr ormerod being wheeled into an operating theatre and didn't know if he lived or survived then with Heartbeat with the Oscar blaketon final episode
They could've had at least a better ending to this show. I just discovered it a few months back and got hooked but was a bit disappointed how they ended it. It was probably the worst endibg of any show I've watched ever. Anyway.
That's Maggie O'Neill as Alex, not Saskia Wickham, who played Erica Matthews. Still, what a lame way to end what was a great show, got far fetched in the end and far removed to what it was like at the start with doctors Jack, Beth, Will, Andrew, Erica, David, Joanna, Sam, etc.
Last episode ... total bull cr--! After watching every episode from S1 to E! and this is how you losers end it. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE! All those years. Damn!
Totally agree! I watched the show from beginning to end. It had interesting characters w good storylines. Even when a main character left n someone new came in, it infused the show with a new n different feel, whike keeping it at a high standard...until the end scene. What a horrible way to end it, you just dont do that!! Im not sure of behind the scenes goings-on, did the show expect to continue on but was cancelled after this aired? So not right for the fans who stuck with it thru the entire series run to have it end like this. Never see anything like it on any other program.
