“The good ones are always taken.” (Thin Ice - Series 10, Episode 3)

((LOVED THIN ICE! SO MUCH! Especially how you got that whitewashing moment in! Also have questions! Like; was there a temptation to make a stronger reference to 11 & River's date to that same Frost Fair? Or would that have taken too much away from *this* story?))
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it. ◕ ◡ ◕ I wrote a reference to the birthday date with River but it got cut. It came in the montage sequence on the ice at the start of the episode when Bill is running around trying everything. She twigs that the Doctor has been to the frost fair before and he replies, “Oh yes. A few times.” A stunned Bill absorbs that and we cut to:
The scene might have actually been filmed (not sure) but I do understand why it was cut. You said it yourself - the important thing here is to focus on the present-day story. A mention of River doesn’t move the plot forward, or even advance Bill’s understanding of the Doctor to a significant degree, especially compared to the more solemn things she comes to understand about his past just minutes later.
There might even be another reason it was cut. Perhaps Steven decided Bill should learn about River in some other way further into the series. If not, then if you want to you can always extrapolate from the Doctor’s “Oh yes. A few times”, and assume that Twelve took the opportunity to tell Bill about his wife in between scenes.

After River opened the doors - to the amazement of the Doctor - she commented to him, “Now pull yourself together - you’re embarrassing me.”
River then slapped the Doctor across the face, but her hand just passed through him, and she was left ruminating, “Well that’s not as much fun as it used to be.”
As she strode off, the Doctor put his hand to his cheek.

There was more dialogue with the stricken Doctor telling Amy and Rory, “Get after her. We can’t lose her, go!! Rory, can you see her?” There was a further short scene in Hitler’s office with Rory - looking for River out of the window - telling the Doctor, “There’s soldiers!” and the dying Doctor urging “Follow her! Now, quickly”

As Amy and Rory looked at their daughter in her cot, Amy pulled something from her pocket to dab Melody’s chin and realised it was the prayer leaf; she told the baby, "You keep hold of this now. It will always keep us together."

River looked at her diary. ”Right then. You’re young - seen that face with a bit more mileage. Honestly, nine hundred plus and look at that skin - it’s a wonder any woman in the Universe is still talking to you.
So where does that put us - just after the Bone Meadows? Oh! Before the Bone Meadows. Well, of course it’s before, you’ve got legs. Kidding. Probably.”
