... and not had its paternity doubted?

It obviously happens in real life but other than baby Pearl in EE (and even then, Kim and Vincent had seperated by the time Pearl was born) I cant think of a child born in the past decade that was born in wedlock and had its paternity doubted? Why cant soaps just show a happy couple having a child without these complications- whenever a happy couple gets regnant, they are bound to lose the baby!

PS: Just remembered Oscar Osborne in HO, he was born in wedlock? (and more shockingly, was actually planned!)

I know, to allow it to happen once is bad enough but twice!

that being said I do know a woman who has kids with two brothers, she had an affair with the second brother and someone else, end up pregnant turned out it was the first brothers. she stuck with him then they split a couple of years later and she got together with the second brother and had another child. she already had an older one to the first brother and so she has three kids. the two brothers have kids with other women to, its very messy and complicated.

David and Kylie had Lily in 2013, although Nick could've been the father...

Mick and Linda had Ollie, but then they weren't actually married.

In Corrie, John and Fiz had Hope during the tram crash when they were married.

In Emmerdale I think Jimmy and Nicola's daughter Angelica was born in wedlock. It was a few years ago though.

Angel was born in 2009 and Jimmy married Nicola the following year

In Corrie, John and Fiz had Hope during the tram crash when they were married.
And even then, Dean was suspected to be the father although in that instance, it wasn't because Linda had cheated on Mick with his brother

I'd forgotten about John and Fiz

I have missed a few episodes but I thought Laurel had lost the baby, unless this was a false alarm?

It was a false alarm, ahe went back to the hosp and was still with baby, tho the silly woman had been drinking so god knows what kind of state the baby will be in, might come out wanting a vodka bottle

No she didn't lose the baby. They thought they did but it was a false alarm.

Kat and Alfie with the twins? Ronnie and Jack with James? Charlie and Ronnie with Matthew?

I'm not sure with any of those, my memory is a bit rusty.

And with Janet... did they marry in time to have her or was that one of their failed attempts? (If I remember they had like 5 failed attempts to get married)

As for someone mentioing Matthew, yeah he conveniently waited till after Ronnie married Charlie so just about made it into wedlock

Honey went into labour at the alter during her and Billy's wedding (the time they finally did actually marry). So Janet was born within their marriage but only just. Janet was actually conceived very soon after Billy and Honey first met and William wasn't a planned pregnancy either Honey was very reluctant to have another baby what with having Janet to look after.

Max and Tanya had Oscar and Masood and Zainab had Kamil within marriage as well but again both were unplanned pregnancies.

Another good question, especially for Corrie, is how often a baby is actually born. Most of the pregnancies seem to end in miscarriages (and I suspect there may be another one on the way - just speculation). I keep meaning to see whether I can find the national statistics for miscarriages, and I doubt it's as common as in Corrie.

Unfortunately it will be a lot higher than you might think. Corrie haven't done a miscarriage storyline in ages though... have they?

I think the last one was Erica. Funnily enough with Nick's baby too.

He seems to get women pregnant and it always ends in miscarriage.

Can't remember but I would really like Beth and Kirk to have a baby. I have a feeling it is on the cards since their reconciliation (not that they were apart more than a couple of days). That baby would be born in wedlock and, though Beth doesn't want more kids, they would be really chuffed and the baby well looked after. A very pleasing scenario! Writers, please take note.

Edit: Kim's baby, Pearl, was born in wedlock.

That's even rarer! If they were, chances are the parents have split by the time the baby is born.

Mel and Steve Owen in EE although the baby was born offscreen and Ater his death. Also Denny rickman, conceived in wedlock, father dead by birth and that is just within the 10 years.

What about freddie Peacock in Corrie? Max was married to Ashley for Josh but he was actually Matts. Eanne conceived a baby with both Nick and peter during marriage but one ended in abortion and the other miscarriage.

It's incredibly rare actually isn't it. Even further back than 10 years. - both Webster girls conceived and born in wedlock.
