The stars of EastEnders are reportedly being offered counselling after breaking down while filming scenes for an upcoming cot death storyline.
Filming of the plot, which sees Ronnie Mitchell steal Kat Moon's baby after her own child dies, apparently had to be paused as the actors and crew struggled to deal with the emotional scenes.
A source told The Sun: "Most of the crew have never shot anything quite so sensitive.
"Filming stopped for over an hour as people found it hard to continue without breaking down. It will certainly be very strong viewing."
The tragedy will unfold during a New Year's Eve party at the Queen Vic, when Ronnie, played by Samantha Womack, swaps the babies.
Isn't this very poor writing on behalf of eastenders, Ronnie has had so much heartache would it not have been fair to give her a good storyline for once.
