I'm starting to think this might be the case.
Queen Ron. Vile Kat x 2. Lovely Cindy. Linda. The insufferable Kim. Where does it end? |

It was exactly the same when he was story producer under his old boss Santer...so much pregnancy.
Tanya. Stacey. Sam. Ronnie. Roxy. Honey. Lucy. Heather. Dawn. |

It'll be Jane next with a miracle pregnancy. Perhaps it's DTC's way of creating a Book Club or a Fatblasters. This time it shall be an Antenatal class.

It's excessive and the pregnancies bring nothing to the show. Ronnie for example would be much more believable if she wasn't heavily pregnant
why can't soaps find storylines for women that don't revolve around getting pregnant and having children. |

The thing is until DTC, nobody had given birth in a while, which was tad unrealistic and I think he's noticed that there are certain male characters and female characters that would make sense being parents and he's trying to cram them all in as quickly as possible before there all the families are filled with old fogies and no succesors.
I mean Kat and Ronnie are in their early 40s - they didn't have long left until their eggs go bad. Nobody likes granny mums. Their both gonna be granny mums. |

I was starting to think that maybe a 'baby loss' storyline was on the cards.. Or maybe stillbirth!

I know a few "granny mums" as you call them and they're lovely, and great with their children - better than some younger mums I know.

Kat and Ronnie almost became grandmothers before having their next child. Equally disturbing is how those pregnancies ended: Ronnie basically encouraged Danielle to have an abortion, not realizing that she was advocating aborting her own grandchild and the father of Kat's grandchild would have been older than she was had Chrissie not encouraged Zoe to abort Den's child.

I've never understood why Santer and DTC were so obsessed with saddling all the female characters with babies. Time and time again it has limited the storyline possibilities for the characters with the exception of Ronnie but her pregnancies have become a farce. I don't hold out much hope for Baby Cotton-Mitchell or whatever she's decided to call it.

What good would Ronnie be to the show at 50 with no kids? She's a Mitchell, they're all about faaaamily - she's no good to them as a spinster with no progeny to corrupt.

What makes you think Ronnie will still be in EastEnders when she's 50? I'm sure Samantha Womack doesn't want that. She's had a varied career since long before EastEnders and is still bagging roles away from the show. The entire Mitchell family could fold at some point just like the Fowlers and Butchers did when their best members left.

I don't see the problem? If they add something to the character, or at least don't hinder them.
Bert and Ernie have hardly changed Kat's character, she already had Tommy - and her and Alfie have been involved in big storylines since their birth. Cindy if anything has been given character development with having Beth. Linda - I'm not sure how this wil go, I think it's cheapened the rape storyline a little, but this direction for Ronnie is long overdue - she couldn't remain a victim of woe and misery forever. |

What makes you think you're Sam Womack's agent? While she looks good for her age, she's not far off 50 and could very well still be in EastEnders by then...

I mean, really. It got to the point in DTC's last stint that pretty much every single storyline involved, or did at some point involve, a baby in some way. Doing the same thing over and over again would be bad enough... but what's so interesting about having female characters pregnant? I mean Kim's up the duff now... if that's not a blatant sign they had no idea what to do with her but had to keep her, I really don't know what is. |
