Anyone else think Nigel's photo on BBC News looks really photoshopped?
I got Nigel’s American doppelgänger

My predictions:

Reiss and Sonia will have a very straightforward IVF cycle and get pregnant on the first attempt. Using the rest of Stunning Debbie's money they will buy everything for the baby, and maybe even fly Bex home for the birth. As her pregnancy progresses, Stunning Debbie will awake from her coma (but with no complications as soap opera comas are just an elongated nap) and she will somehow arrive in Walford, resulting in Reiss and Stunning Debbie taking the baby for themselves, leaving Sonia alone.

Whitney and Zack will miraculously be approved for fostering, even though they would never be approved in a million years. They will fall in love with their first placement and decide to adopt, however during this process Whitney will find out she's pregnant (due to something like antibiotics or sickness affecting her contraception). She will still want to adopt the foster kid but Zack won't, want to now they have a kid with his blood, and they split up, with Whitney leaving with the foster kid and a baby bump.

Ben and Kat trauma bond and have the weirdest affair in Walford (ok, this one's a joke)

Are you a real EE script writer 😆
That all sounds extremely plausible !
 
Where are these foster kids going to sleep? They share a room in a house with another 2 adults and a baby. It’s so ridiculous. Not even they fact they’ve only been together about 6 months
It really annoyed me that Zak was made to feel he mustn’t ignore Whitney’s wishes. But it’s ok for her to completely ignore his. Excellent environment to bring a child up in.
 
The past few episodes have been awful. The weird blue lighting has not helped either. They’re all quite unlikeable/unrealistic. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw queen Sharon of Wattsford.

edit: I didn’t mind the Yolande/Suki scenes.

Just watched it and that was my immediate thought too. Recovery confirmed 😂

I can’t wait for Stunning Debbie become the queen of the square and take over the vic.

Sharon will magic a mortgage deposit out of her arse for her darlin’ baby brother

I was honestly expecting them to break up because the expectation put on Zak seems toxic

Why wouldn’t Zack and Whitney use a surrogate? Has it even been mentioned as an option?
It wasn’t, they only mentioned IVF and adoption/fostering. I thought the storyline was heading towards Sonia being their surrogate, but I guess it would’ve been a repeat of Bernie being Rainie’s and Stuart’s surrogate

this!!! i’m not sure what we’re meant to be seeing in this relationship because all that’s coming across is zak having his wants and needs completely ignored, and it somehow being wrong for him to question whitney.

also, he and whitney were barely together when she got pregnant and wouldn’t have attempted any kind of relationship without the baby. i don’t know if we’re meant to be rooting for them or not 🤣 though zak had some potential as a character, they should never have involved him with her.
