Because they both have family members who apparently carry the cf gene, do you think they will get tested for it, before any pregnancy, or will it be yet another unplanned pregnancy, if there is one? Tam is logical, so maybe he will push for the testing, if they get more serious.

Or perhaps, I know I'm pushing it here, they will be one of the few soap couples to have heard of contraception!!

I'm waiting for the day Tam strips to the waist, sticks a headband on, nicks a spare Uzi from Ronnie and goes on a murderous rampage as Tambo, First Blood.

(I'm so sorry, even as I'm typing this I'm realising what a weak joke it is and I bet no one's even heard of Rambo. )

I'm leaving now....

Hopefully, but they did sleep together, unexpectedly, so maybe they didn't use protection. Anyway, I don't think that Nancy will get pregnant, anytime soon.

I suspect Tam is, as you say, the type to get tested.

With Nancy, it might depend on what is known in the family history.

When Shirley had Jimbo and he was diagnosed with CF it's likely that her siblings would have been checked if they were carriers too.

Given that no-one seemed to worry about Oliver having CF we can take that Linda is not a carrier. If Mick is not a carrier, either - Nancy won't need to take a test.

I;m not sure if Mick & Linda think about such things, Tam is far more serious than they are.

I've heard of Rambo!

I can imagine Tam with an uzi and he could wear his tie as a headband!

As I understand it cystic fibrosis in the Asian population is extremely rare, but since when did getting their facts right ever bother scriptwriters on soaps?

On a slightly related subject, have Tam and Nancy discussed both of them having gay brothers? With two gay uncles, their own son might be absolutely fabulous.

Isn't the CF from the Briggs/ Carter side?

I don't think that they have. Tamwar has only made a joke, about their brothers, escaping.

For a child to have CF, they need to inherit two faulty copies of the CFTR gene -one from each parent. If you only have one faulty CFTR gene you don't have CF but are a carrier. If two carriers have a child, they have a 50% chance of it being a carrier, 25% chance of having CF and 25% chance of being clear of CF.

Shirley, Kevin Wicks, Dean and Shabnam are all definitely carriers in EE as they've had a child with CF; all of them must have inherited from a parent so any of their siblings, and their children, could also be carriers.
