How about this for an Eastenders Storyline???!!!

We know that Ian isn't the father of Laura's baby

Ian knows but Laura doesnt

And nobody knows who the father is

So....

How about when Laura gives birth she finds out that it's a Black baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could just see it.

Laura is given the baby, has a horrified look on her face immediately followed the end of programme drumbeats.

That would definately be a ratings winner

Paul is the name you are searching for
Laura was dancing with quite a few people but we only saw a shadow of the person who walked her home when she came out of the club so I guess we are going to have to wait 8 1/2 months to find out

And don't forget she was also wearing Gus's hat when she got home that night..... BROWN BABY ALERT!!!

I'm sure it's Paul Trueman - I think there was a flash of him right at the end of that episode. It's in keeping with the EE mantra of piling humiliation upon misery, but strays from the unwritten rule of No Contentious Stories About Race. Did anyone else see Patrick or am I misremembering?

But then again it's probably Phil Mitchells

Lads getting close to the line with the almost racist remarks there. I just thought she wasn't actually pregnant and is on the edge of crazy.

I thought I read on one of the newspapers that it is Paul Truman who is the father and Ian goes mad when the baby is born as it will be black.

Then again, Gus might also be a possibility, we havn't seen much of him and he may be hiding because he has realised what happened that night and is ashamed in case he runs into Laura in the street.

Do you not remember the end of the party episode, I could have swore the shadow of the man looked as if he was bald... Still, I doubt it was Jim Branning!

Erm, wouldn't this black-baby-shock only be a shock if the viewers and characters had previously assumed the baby was Ian's?

Since Ian and all the viewers know it's not his, much of the shock would be lost.

Laura has self copulated

she is both the father and the mother.

Its a large amount of built up flatulence, just like the storylines

SPOILER
































It was posted in todays Daily Star, (not my newspaper, it was sitting there and it was all that was available, and I was bored so I had to read it, personally, I'd read the Mirror), that the father IS Garry Hobbs, husband of Lynne Slater.

On Christmas Day episode 1Ian kicks out Laura and then starts to search for the father. And on Christmas Day episode 2 Jamie dies in hospital of a failed liver.

I heard it was Garry AGES ago because Lynne is supposedly pregant too and so he was going to be the father of 2 children.

This could just have been a rumour started because Garry and Laura are going out in real life.

I also thought this would be a great story line. Months of not knowing and then a black baby in the delivery room. Laura would have some explaining to do then, imagine the look on their faces.
I've heard the real father is revelaed on Xmas day. After Ian tells her he can't have kids she goes to the father. My money is on Gary, i bet he gets Lynne pregnant too and the story line will take a new turn, dumb Gary with two kids on the way...it would be funny to watch.

hopefully it wont b 8 and 1/2 months cos time goes abit faster in eastenders, and also can u really imagine garry waiting there for her (like the shadow of the man did) still not moving, garry would like to hurry things up
