Corrie ... Tina

[gina32]

what happened to the cord being cut when tina gave birth????

[factor-fiction]

Sorry I didn't notice that- I was just wondering why half the street had turned up at the hospital. When the young factors were born not one neighbour turned up

[Smowball]

So which way is this story line going to go? Do you think Tina will want to keep the baby?

[factor-fiction]

Well judging by the front pages of the TV listings magazines the answer seems to be that she wants to keep it

[Smowball]

Ohh, I havent seen any of those. But the baby isnt Tina's in anyway biologically is it?

[gina32]

no it isn't but not sure how the law stands on it. but tina is leaving so maybe that's the end result

[Robinia]

Yes, I noticed there was no cutting of the cord. I think a baby belongs to the woman who gave birth until the biological parents have adopted him/her....but they've probably changed the law especially for Corrie. :)

I think she won't to give the baby up. The actress playing Tina has decided to leave and leaves the soap in Spring next year (as reported on Digitalspy website) I like Tina and will be sorry to see her go, especially if Tommy goes too.

[chrissa1]

Just because she is leaving doesn't mean she will take the baby with her. Just the opposite I think.

[Robinia]

I think that too Chrissa...if she was taking the baby I think she'd leave sooner.

[LoftyLottie]

She will leave the baby with Tommy who will need a Nanny. This is where I step in (I don't much like babies but if I was in my youth Tommy would be just my cup of tea)!!

[lankeela]

Spoiler alert (well what I was told so don't know if its true) the baby turns out to not be Gary's but Tommy's!

[lankeela]

It did rather plop out didn't it?

[LoftyLottie]

I like Lankeela's explanation!!

[lynbrown]

Yes, I think a DNA test for whatever reason will show the father to be Tommy. But weren't Izzy's eggs used? So she is the bio mother isn't she?

[LoftyLottie]

Well that would be some story Lyn!!

[lankeela]

But ..... if Tommy is the father she must have got pregnant before being implanted mustn't she as didn't her and Tommy split up? Would also explain the early birth.

[yogasun]

I'm very irritated with myself for worrying about these details but if the baby wasn't really 'early' they would have said at the birth, they wouldn't have had to whisk it off for special care and the scans would have confirmed due date.
Anyone else think that Ryan (played by?) is about the most wooden actor going?

[gina32]

yes I do he is useless hope he goes soon as well

[netibiza]

I read that Tina wants to keep her baby (as the law sees it) as she thinks Issy and Gary are not in a strong enough relationship!

[netibiza]

Surely they check you at hospital before they artificially inseminate you??
