Offspring is an Australian comedy-drama show that first aired on Channel Ten in August 2010. It centres around a Melbourne obstetrician, as she deals with her family, and her love life.Characters include: Nina Proudman: The protagonist of the series, an obstetrician who was newly single at the beginning of the show. Billie Proudman: Nina's older sister, a real estate agent who works in the family business. Jimmy Proudman: The youngest of the Proudman children, and also the one without any sense of where he's going. Darcy Proudman: Father to Nina, Billie, Jimmy and Ray. A real estate agent and serial The Casanova. Geraldine Proudman: Mother to Nina, Billie and Jimmy. A teacher, ostensibly separated from Darcy (but it can depend on the episode). Cherie Butterfield: A nurse Nina works with at the hospital. She gives birth to Ray in the pilot episode and it is revealed that Darcy is the father. Mick Holland: Billie's ex, a sometime musician/composer and landscape gardener. He and Billie get back together and marry at the end of season 2. Patrick Reid: An anaesthetist initially thought to be an abusive husband. Comes in at the start of season 2. Dies towards the end of season 4. Some characters at the hospital include Kim Akerholt, Martin Clegg, and Zara Perkich.Originally it was planned to be a telemovie but television executives were surprised but the quality of it, leading it to be spun off into a 13 episode series. Series 5 aired in 2014. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Offspring / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Poor Nina. Exaggerated in the season 3 opener: after seemingly earning her happy ending with Patrick at the end of season 2, in one night her apartment goes up in flames and she finds out that Darcy isn't her biological father. Billie in season 4. After failing to conceive, she throws herself into work and convinces Darcy to let her take over their real estate business. However, after several bad business decisions, she is forced to sell the business to Darcy's old business rival. Unable to find another job and feeling increasingly isolated from Mick (whose musical career is taking off), she cheats on him in a drunken one night stand that ends their marriage. | |

No Periods, Period | |
| Offspring / int_d0bf8a6d | comment |
No Periods, Period: Subverted. Nina suspects she's pregnant after realising she's late and experiencing possible symptoms, but later finds herself bleeding in the shower and thinks it's her period after all. The subversion comes when Philip later gets the test results and informs Nina that she is in fact pregnant, and the bleeding was another symptom. | |
