Eastenders storyline
in Baby
We just wondered what our users' opinions are regarding the current Eastenders baby swap/cot death storyline? All the actors involved are doing a fantastic job conveying the pain and hurt experienced by bereaved parents, but do you think the storyline is credible, and is the programme right to highlight these issues?

its not believable in the slightest and they have not handled sids in a sensitive way - yes its a 'drama' tv programme and not real life but a sids storyline would have been hard hittong enough without a ridiculous baby swap story line (where the mum doesnt notice its not her baby?) i feel this is going too far and sensastionalises the whole thing and makes the storyline about the baby swap rather than the baby dying. i havent watched it and wont until this story disapears. i can only imagine how women who have been through such a traumatic thing feel - especially when it portrays them as some sort of looney/crazy baby snatchers when in reality im sure all they would want is their own child back.
this is just my opinion and it doesnt seem im alone in my thinking. i think Eastenders has gone too far with this one and there is no way it is 'believeable' in the slightest or reflection of real life in anyway (yes, i know that isnt the point of soaps) but i think it was a mistake.
Rant over.
now that you have resurfaced, how about you answer some of the questions about users accounts, there are multiple threads in website suggestions instead of opinion gathering about a tv programme
I feel EE are taking the p*ss out of SIDS and are using SIDS as an excuse to invent another of their poorly executed, distasteful and highly ridiculous storylines and that in fact the SIDS side of it is just a sideline. In my opinion.
Rant over.

I usually love EE but not been watching any of it last 2 weeks both as a matter of principle and because it is too close to home.
