Coronation Street actors Jack P. Shepherd and Wanda Opalinska have become parents.

Shepherd's 23-year-old partner Lauren Shippey gave birth to an as-yet-nameless healthy baby girl at 8.38am today, while Opalinska welcomed son Rafal into the world at 12.39pm yesterday, weighing 7lb 5oz.

A Coronation Street spokeswoman said: "We wish them all well."

Earlier this week, Alison King (Carla Gordon) gave birth to a 6lbs 7oz baby girl with boyfriend Adam Huckett.

However, the week of celebration was marred yesterday by the sad announcement that Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) and boyfriend Jamie Lomas's new-born baby son Archie passed away seconds after being delivered.

Shepherd, Opalinska and King - who play David Platt, Vicki Dankowska and Carla Gordon in the Weatherfield soap - were three of a number of expectant parents.

Julia Haworth (Claire Peacock), Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) and Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland) all became parents over the last year.

Meanwhile, Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) is expecting in March, while Graeme Hawley (John Stape) is due to become a father in June.

To be honest I think she will quit Corrie. It will be impossible for her to return with so many fellow cast members becoming parents. Everyone wants to know how a new baby is getting on and baby talk will be on a high at corrie, but her cast members will feel terrible for her and feel gulity about being happy that's why I think she will quit the street.

But if you work in a large place like a factory etc, you could have the same situation, and can you afford to leave because others have a lifestyle you want or can't have? I don't think she will leave, especially as Jamie has left HO.
