It’s easy to see why Nine has built a drama around Kate Jenkinson.
The
She is now the lynchpin in
Amazing Grace, starring as a midwife in a birthing centre attached to the fictional St. Brigid’s Hospital. No stuffy uniforms here, it’s a lot more zen and comes with waterside views.
Grace is pretty accomplished at her work but her personal life is a bit of a mess, a popular TV trope.
Her day is up-ended with the arrival of a pregnant teen, Sophia (Alexandra Jensen) who just happens to be the daughter Grace gave up for adoption when she was much younger (it’s not really a spoiler given it takes place in the set-up). The realisation between the two performers is handled so delicately, it’s one of the episode’s better moments.
