Well, they edited the blood out.....

Thought so MrsB, there was a glimpse of blood then it changed...

I'm watching it and I really don't know whether I should turn off.  Morbid curiosity getting the better of me I guess.  Why can't EastEnders hold back the distasteful melodrama for once?  I can't help thinking the whole thing is in pretty poor taste and particularly offensive, I'd imagine, to those who've lost their babies.

Have turned it off now....

Eastenders were bracing themselves for a backlash but OFCOM have had more complaints about Corrie's lesbian kiss involving Sophie and Sian.


Sam Womack was brilliant as poor Ronnie and I wasn't moved by it as I thought I would be...

Stopped watching ee some  months back now.  Sorry to anyone who is a fan but IMO its just the worst soap now.  Got to the point where i couldnt watch it and the list of reasons why i cant stand it now would take me til midnight to write out. I guess some still like it though, but i stopped watching quite a few months back

Ah well nothing like the various soaps to have some Christmas cheer etc,deaths, destruction and violence.

I just think its horrible they have given Ronnie more heartache.

What was there to complain about???

Can I do my Reg Cox material again?

I've just watched it on iplayer, and I have no idea 


 Go on then ...

I don't watch EE but have read about this storyline.  Seems a rather unbelievable one to me.

Tonights was worse emotionally.

what was the stuff with the blood? i dont get that bit. i didnt see it last night but intrigued.

Kat had her baby at home...the haemorrage (sp) that she had in bed was originally meant to be verrrry graphic...but they cut it after complaints were made and also scenes where Ronnie was stroking her face with her dead babys hand were cut...hence the dodgy editing last night. I think it's the emotional rather than the graphic that people are finding hardest with this one....it's  sick one all round really and some support groups are concerned that it will alienate mums who have tragically lost babies....they are angry at the way Ronnie has been portrayed.

I think that they should have had Kats baby that died not Ronnies, I found it hard to feel any emotion for Ronnie but when the Slaters thought it was Tommy it was far more realistic.

Little Lord, I have no idea who Reg Cox is. Please explain.

I'd rather neither had died and just for once everyone was happy....but, yes, easier to feel for Kat and Alfie than for Ronnie...Sam Womack is not good at pulling on heartstrings.

Cologne...Reg Cox is the bloke who was found dead in a flat at the beginning of the very first episode of EE....it started as it meant to go on!!

Thanks Mrs B, that takes me back to the student union at Plymouth. We converged on the TV to watch the first one, same with Neighbours.

Thanks Mrs B, I really was finding it hard to work out what the blood was about. I just find it hard to believe that nobody will notice its a different baby

I think they will pass it off Gyps as Kat saying she hadn't seen much of Tommy, i didn't find it as dramatic as i thought it would be, down to the poor storyline, why would no-one check on a new born baby when the mum is in hospital (new Year or not( and why was Ronnie allowed home in a cab with no car seat , also Ronnies baby looked about 3 mths old when he was born but she was walking about the square with a little doll clutched to her chest, they will probably still win the best storyline over corries tram crash though

Thats what i was saying aimee, It is beyond belief how they keep winning stuff.

I agree too Aimes - I was shouting at the telly when she got out of the taxi holding the baby in her arms. My poor friend wasn't allowed out of hospital without a car seat for the baby!

Has the actress who plays Ronnie had some 'work' done on her nose?

some family members watched it last night but i found that washing the dishes more entertaining so i can't really comment!

Loads, by the look of it

I just saw on this morning that the writers of eastenders want to keep this story line running for years how crap is that???? I think what they are going to do is Kat will instinctively know that Ronnie has her baby and it will be strung out for years and years that shes mental, has post natal depression and is loosing her marbles. 

Now can i get paid for writing the script

I only caught the last couple of minutes but after a home birth if there's a haemorrhage both mother and baby are taken to hospital....I know I was.....and and and....you would not not recognise your own baby!

That is indeed exceptionally crap and so far fetched - why do we honestly think that EE scriptwriters are gonna be any different though? I can't believe that they get away with such flimsy, ridiculous storylines.

If they do drag this out I think I'll probably stop watching - TBH - I don't know why I still do watch it - this may well cause me to kick my pathetic habit.

When I had my son the day after I came out of hospital I collapsed  the same as Kat there was afterbirth left inside me and I  hemmoraged really bad I never saw Kat receiving any blood I had 7 pints also they gave me  a D&C operation, they would not let my son come back into the hospital to be with me only to scan his head as I collapsed whilst holding him,Kat looked full of beans in the hospital none of it rang true to me .. I dont like the storyline and  to keep it going for years..................

I saw that and I will stop watching. I want my soap stories over in weeks not years.

I never receievd any blood after I haemorrhaged though....it depends how much blood you lose...i only lost about a pint but it looked like a whole lot more.....I just just more worried about not getting it on the newly laid living room carpet that had only been down a couple of weeks....once in the ambulance though the ambulance woman ran back in the house to check for me and came back laughing that the carpet was ok.!

Hi croc from my bedroom all the way down stairs to my kitchen and lounge my carpets were ruined my sister in law had them cleaned whilst I was in hospital but I replaced them, it was a scorching day that day but my body was so cold I could not stop shaking, in the hospital I kept saying I was cold they kept giving me extra bedding I had lost so much blood nothing was going to get me warm only the blood I had replaced ..sorry but you made me laugh saying the ambulance woman ran back into the house to tell you  your carpets were okay

Thats all i was worried about...as they were taking me out I was telling them to mind the carpet!

Lol

It says in my TV guide that Kat will say tonight 'that's not my baby'. I sure hope that's true.

And that baby had no hat on it's head! AND it was bloody freezing outside!

Emmerdale did a similar storyline a few years back...but they got loads of praise for their storyline, I'm sure it was around Christmas time too.  But the EE one just seemed so much worse, maybe because it's Ronnie and the character is so miserable anyhow, but I switched off and won't be switching back for a while
