Not looking forward to this. Will be so sad and upsetting

I knew this was the route they were heading with Shabnam. This is going to be so sad and have major ripple effects on Shabnam, Kush and the Masoods. Zainab needs to come back for this to support Shabs.

Oh no

Oh dear that will be sad. Had a feeling something was going to happen with the baby though

Wonder what effect this will have on Stacey

Stacey's baby could still be kushs, so will be interesting to watch play out

Ffs this will just drive Kush to Stacey

Kush and Stacey haven't slept together though. She has slept with Martin a few times already.

Stacey's baby will be a Legacy baby.

Omg! This is going to be very sad! I was liking the idea of shabnam wanting to be a proper mum

I think this is a very brave story, its a risky story for DTC. I just hope it works out a dam sight better than the last baby death story that EE tried.

I hope this is not leading to Stacey's baby being Kush's and Shabnam losing her baby and her husband.

Nitin will be great too. Could be a brilliant storyline

Nitin will do great.

I hope they do the story justice it's sad and sensitive subject but exactly the sort of EE storyline the show is known for, I'm sure the Masoods will do good, be interesting to see if we're get a Zainab return.

I had a feeling this was the way it would go. so sad.

Davood could prove himself here as Kush.

Oh God MORE tragedy and heartbreak...EE is really getting back there in the duldrums where it belongs isn't it...as much of a serious issue storyline it is, I don't think I can stand 50 weeks of Shabs going through all the emotions and Kush bouncing back from her to Stacey every week.

HAPPY storys please...

The Masoods have been crying out for a Zainab return for some months. I read that they have a big-ish part in the Xmas/New Year period. Fingers crossed that she returns for that. There is more than enough reason to bring her back.

Oh no! Poor Shabs!

Hopefully EE will play this SL brilliantly, especially with the actors involved.

Maybe it's just God's revenge for them engaging in pre-marital sex.

Looking forward to the storyline, despite it being sad. However, I would have preferred to see Shabnam with a baby, rather than Stacey. Rakhee, Davood and Nitin are going to be great in this storyline. It will good if we get to see, Tamwar supporting his sister.

After this storyline, PLEASE let Shabnam have some happiness! She deserves it.

Oh didn't expect this. I thought the sad story was Jade having CF and possibly her health would deteriorate.

Nooooooooooooo talk about rehashing old stories, do they have no imagination?

Much more interesting for Shabs to have the baby, be happy and see how she copes with her decision about Jade...

Honestly. ...more misery

I actually disagree that they're copying Ronnie with Shabnam, they are similar in personalities and have similar stories but Ronnie is more damaged and comes from an abusive childhood. Plus she was forced to give up her baby and was desperate for another for ages whereas Shabnam doesn't even want to see her daughter.

I had an idea this was going to happen as they obviously want to continue the love triangle storyline. I can see Shabnam pushing Kush away after it happens and Kush turning to Stacey for comfort.

Oh no. The sister of a longtime friend mine recently had a stillbirth. The way my friend described it, it was unimaginably awful. What a terrible thing to happen.

I do think it's time Zainab should come back. I think Masood and Shabnam will grow much closer after this, but Shabnam needs the support of her whole family.

I do wonder if this is setting Shabnam up to become pathologically jealous of Stacey, though. Stacey is pregnant and presumably her baby will be OK. Stacey had a little fling with Kush, which Shabnam doesn't yet know. I could see things souring between Stacey and Shabnam in the wake of all of this.
