Emmerdale - Could Sean end up being the father?
From the point of mischief making and I know this may sound a little bit of an “extreme” Holly Oaks style storyline,........but surely they won’t have Sean either loosing, spoiling or disposing of one of Dan’s three day offerings and then in an effort to not get into trouble replacing them it with his own!!!
I know a Semen swop scenario has previously used in a Jennifer Aniston rom-com, though I suppose there aren’t many truly original plots any more. What would be made of a pregnancy where Ruby’s child was supposed to create a half sibling to Sean & Amelia, (but was actually Sean’s) and what would be the ramifications. I suspect if Ruby, Dan and Ali found out during the early stages of a pregnancy they may have very different ideas as to what actions should be taken. Maybe I am letting my imagination run wild!! |

The whole storyline is sick and extremely vulgar. I am surprised at Kate Oates allowing the writers to get away with it.

People use donors all the time, both anomoyous donors and known ones. I can't understand how it is vulgar! |

It would make him the dad of his brother/sister. That's pretty weird.

I thought it made god sense. This way Ruby's baby would biologically be Sean and Amelia's sibling linking them all as a family unit. And all three children would have the same father.

It's also a coup for Emmerdale showing a modern take on family with the whole gay angle it may not be too everyones taste but vulgar no. And i think it has been sensitively handled too. I have really come to love this family over time they have intergrated well. |

The baby would still be biologically related to Sean and Amelia if Dan donates his sperm.

But his mam and her partner will be bringing the child up as their own.
If Ruby and his Mum got married i suppose he'd then be a Step-Brother as well as the Dad ,and Amelia would be Aunt as well as Step sister but not a biological Half brother like e will be if it's Dans sperm |

Wouldn't that be child abuse? He's under 16 isn't he?

I Still dont think it's moral though. I think it would be a bit sick if he did become the Dad. Imagine fathering your step mums baby!
![]() As for the storyline as it stands at the moment, I don't mind them doing the turkey baster route, but I do wish they wouldn't go into so much detail about it. I don't need to dwell on the mechanics of the whole thing. |

It is not the storyline which is objectionable; Kirgle., surrogacy has become commonplace recently. It is the salacious, vulgar writng that a lot of us find offensive. There is no need for graphic detail, I am sure that people in genuine situations deal with the situation discreetly. The writers are debasing surrogacy; but perhaps that is the intention.

If Ruby and Ally split, who would the CSA go after? Dan or Ally.

I agree it also shows the resoloution of the family originally breaking up but now coming together as one unit Dan, Ali, And Ruby all co-parents to these three kids.
It's also a coup for Emmerdale showing a modern take on family with the whole gay angle it may not be too everyones taste but vulgar no. And i think it has been sensitively handled too. I have really come to love this family over time they have intergrated well. |

but they're not co=parenting for this child - Dan's simply to be a sperm donor. They agreed that. They're basically giving the impression that Dan is some sort of super human, full of nothing but kindness and compassion, who can overcome any resentment that he might still feel towards Ruby and Ali to the extent of fathering a child for them, but not being involved in its upbringing, despite the fact that he'll see it everyday and it will be raised with his own two children. That makes Dan a very unbelievable character to me. It's great that they get along so well for the sake of the existing kids, but it's highly unbelievable that Dan would be prepared to go this far, and that it won't cause any problems once the baby's born. When you add into the mix that Ali isn't so keen and is going along with it to keep Ruby happy, you've got to wonder how long it will last for. And how's the child going to feel about sharing a Dad with its two siblings - but it's the only one that Dad doesn't have anything to do with?
