Do we think DTC abandoned a plan to make Denise pregnant by Phil?

I'm struggling to figure out the purpose storyline development wise of Denises one night drunken stand with Phil which he seems not to remember anyway.

Was it just filling up space in a few episodes?
It seemed to happen near the time of the storyline where Denise was disappointed in Libby for deciding to have an abortion and also around the time it seemed that onscreen hints that Denise may be menopausal where being given and to my mind an unexpected pregnancy seemed the obvious storyline direction.
I'm beginning to think the idea was flirted with and thought better of?

I don't know. They made a point of showing us the condom wrapper. Maybe they did toy with the idea and changed their minds.

Nobody" knows" as it's a thread premised on a modest amount of speculation and guesswork!

Was it more than 3 month's ago can you recall? It seems age's ago but might actually not be.

I'm sure if DTC hadn't been sacked he would've gone down that route, the bi-monthly baby plot was long overdue. Luckily the BBC stepped in when they did.

Its probably vanished to reappear down the line like all of the rest of his plots (Ryan returning, Les's secret, Stacey's Key, Peg croaking it ect ect ect...) but they've forgotten pregnancy only takes nine months and starts showing before that so they'll throw a "surprise baby" at it just before she drops at Christmas.

Wasn't the one night stand days before Peggy died? It's a blur to me because of the big gap between her death and funeral.

I need help with dates as it seems many month's ago but perhaps wasn't?

Someone suggesting to me in private messages that Kush may end up in similar position to Martin?

Four months ago.

I've known women who didn't know they were pregnant until fairly well into their pregnancy and someone who didn't know until she went into labour.

As for Kush, surely he would have an inkling when he realises e baby would have been conceived four months ago.

I would hazard a guess that Denise and Kush turn into Lisa and Mark Fowler.

I hope this wasn't an example of Phil's seductive patter.

Me too. But they've always been larger ladies or a bit on the flabby side. Denise hasn't got an ounce of fat on her. A comparison would be Kellie Bright who would have been 4 months when her current scenes were shot.

Denise has been exercising and the baby could be small

I think them having relations was meant to signal them both hitting rock bottom and then changing their ways.

I don't think a pregnancy was ever the intention

To be fair that could describe nearly anyone in the show

I can't Imagine Phil being accepting of a mixed race baby, he is a horrible person, he would probably treat it like scum.

I bet Phil will get rushed into hospital to have his new liver while Denise is giving birth in the bed next to him,

Merry Christmas Everbody

Doubtful, Phil loves children.
