Holding the baby: EastEnders' Lola in live birth for special Olympics episode

The 20-year-old will play out scenes in which Lola Pearce goes into the late stages of labour during a seven-minute live segment

EastEnders star Danielle Harold will become the second soap character to ‘give birth’ live in a special Olympics episode next week.

The 20-year-old will play out scenes in which Lola Pearce goes into the late stages of labour during a seven-minute live segment.

In the scenes, Lola’s granddad Billy Mitchell is enjoying the honour of carrying the torch across Albert Square when he learns that the youngster is giving birth nearby.

Having handed the torch over, he dashes to be by her side.

A show source said: “Everyone thinks the live show is all about Billy with the torch, but arguably Lola will steal the show when she gives birth in the live segment.

“No one has tried anything like this on EastEnders live before so it is a real challenge to get the emotion of the situation right. It will be the toughest thing Danielle has done in her acting career.”

The first 23 minutes of the show have been recorded in the usual fashion including when Lola first gets contractions in a take away. But to allow the Olympic torch to arrive on the set in Elstree, Hertfordshire, the final seven minutes will be shown live.

Actor Perry Fenwick, who plays Billy, has said his main worry was that he would fall over while live on television in the special scenes, to be screened on July 23.

He admitted: “When we did the live episode of EastEnders, it put a few million on the viewing figures obviously, because they’re going to watch it and they’re going to see if you’re going to mess up your lines.

“But the few million who’ll be joining this time will be seeing if he falls over. I’ve been running round the Square training and stuff like that. I’m looking for every pothole down the market that could be filled in.”

Lola has refused to reveal the identity of the father of her child, but viewers know she slept with Ben Mitchell in a bid to test his belief that he is gay.

Ben is currently under suspicion over the murder of Heather Trott earlier this year.

In the run-up to the birth she has grown closer to Jay Mitchell – when she let him feel her baby kick they ended up kissing.

In 2010, Fiz Stape gave went into labour in a live episode of Coronation Street. Some fans criticised her for overacting

Georgia May Foote,who plays Katy Armstrong in Coronation Street did it during the Nativity play on Coronation Street last Christmas. At 21, she's older than her character, who's 17 and she's just a year older than Danielle Harold, who is 20 but playing a 17 year-old.

I've grown to love Lola, I think the actress who plays her is very talented.

I would love for her to have more scenes with other characters though.

But Georgia May Foote's did not have to act giving birth Live on Television, whereas Danielle is. The only other actress to act giving birth Live on British Television is Jennie McAlpine who plays Fiz Stape in Corrie, so the article says.

Sorry, my sums are wrong - Lola was born in 1996, which does maker her 15 (16 now).

The article you mention is wrong. Here's Katy giving birth live on screen durin g the nativity play:

and Fiz, although her labour starts in the middle fo the tram crash, also gives birth live on screen but in hospital:

I think are mis-understanding what is meant by giving birth LIVE, it means it is not pre-recorded like the ones above but will be actually happening as it is going out on TV.

Yes other people have been shown having babies but they were all pre-recorded in a studio months before. Danielle will have to do it on Monday night for it to be shown straight away.

Katy giving birth was pre-recorded Months before the on-screen Broadcast, whereas Lola and Fiz giving birth was Live, they were recording it as were watching it - like a Football Game.

The article is not wrong, giving birth live means just that, it is LIVE, the examples you have posted are people giving birth on soaps but they were recorded before the episode was aired, this birth scene will be completely live.

As far as I know it's only been the subject of rumour and gossip, nothing definite

Sorry, I missed that little nugget (if indeed it is true and not something to throw people off the scent)
