I think that when Babe was a teenager, she went into labour without knowing she was pregnant, just like Sonia did, and in a state of shock and horror, she killed her baby when it was born.
Then she buried it and got Sylvie to help her, and the two women have kept this a secret, but Babe has deeply regretted her actions ever since and this has psychologically damaged her.

I think this would make sense, as it could explain why Babe is so cold and poisonous, and it would also explain why she kept Sylvie hidden from the world in her house, because she was scared that Sylvie could potentially blurt out the truth about her baby to the rest of the family, due to her amnesia.

It also explains why Babe tells Sylvie that if she truth came out, they'd both be going down, and also why there's been so many references to Babe never having a child, which are clearly there to drop some sort of hint.

I don't know if this will end up being the secret, but I just think it would be a great storyline - something controversial and different for the show

Smells a bit like Hollyoaks and Carter overusage.

But it could be gripping nonetheless. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more low key than that though, I don't think DTC is a big'un for risks.

Did I just blast DTC, Hollyoaks and the Carters all in one post? I think I did.

Could be great. I think they'd probably shy away from doing a story like that, though.

Isn't that very similar to a storyline Dot had once?

I don't like the idea of Babe being Shirley's Mother but dark would be good as Annette is such a good Actress and can pull it off.

Her secret is that if you unzip her head, a green alien pops out.

I was just thinking the other day that we needed more Carter drama and secrets.

I was hoping we had seen the back of the likes of babe Sylvia.

Looks like more Carter secrets we have been a bit short on them in recent times

Dot had an abortion at the insistence of her then husband Charlie Cotton, she buried a box with a christening gown in it, I think in the Fowler's back yard in secret memory of this baby, all was revealed when the box was uncovered

Didn't Dot bury a baby, a bit grim.
