As Charity was sent to prison some months ago, it was feasible that some additional scenes could have been filmed before she left to be slotted in to future episodes.

But as she is still appearing it doesn't seem realistic that scripts would have been planned this far in advance for her to still be appearing. And in tonight's episode she was looking much 'less' pregnant.

I wonder if she returned to film the more recent scenes after the birth?

I thought that.

I'm often thought if they wrote in Emma's birth

Emma agreed to come in for a day's shoot after she'd had her baby.

Thanks
