Just read on Digital Spy that Kat and Ronnie are going to have their babies mixed up at the hospital and take the wrong baby home!! how random is that?! I dont like that at all. It would be so weird. I also read that Kat is going to name her baby Charlie after her dad, who is supposed to die! I think that's probably true because I remember Kat wanting to call the baby Charlie when she was having a baby with Anthony and had a miscarriage.
That could certainly explain the upcoming dramatic storyline which will be ongoing for a couple of years that Shane Richie has talked about!
Well it says that apparently, Ronnie has a big upcoming Christmas storyline and then there's Kat and Alfie's big storyline! The thing is though, it feels really long to drag out something, when the audience all know about it! I think it would get kinda annoying.
But Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie are amazing! So I think they would pull it off.
not very predictable at all, was it
Don't really fancy this story line :(
I don't know, it could be good. Maybe they would start to think they may have the wrong baby because they can't bond with it properly. Also Ronnie is very athletic and Kat most likely drank at least part of her pregnancy. They are very different people who would probably produce very different babies.
But maybe they'll turn the tables on that, like Ronnie's baby gets sickly and dies and then Kat's baby is still with Ronnie. Cos Kat's baby may be a little bit damaged but its also very strong!
Isnt it about time Ronnie's pregnancy was shown she dont look very pregnant while Kat does
Anyways one of the babies probably dies like the Emmerdale storyline and then the truth comes out
I havent seen Ronnie for agess. Most likely the next time we see her she will look about 8 months pregnant! lol.
Spoiler:
If this is true, it's going to be very sad :(. I don't want either baby to die, but it would be most unfair on Ronnie, who's already lost a child.
I think it will be Kat and Alfie who suffer the loss.
EastEnders is reportedly planning a storyline involving the tragic death of a newborn baby in the New Year.Quote:

A source said: "The baby will be born in the New Year but will sadly die from a rare condition just a few days later. It's going to be heartbreaking. The doctors aren't able to do anything to save the tiny baby and there will be a lot of unanswered questions surrounding his death."
Ann Chalmers, chief executive of Child Bereavement, said: "The death of a child is a particularly difficult and painful kind of loss. Anyone who suffers such a loss will need the appropriate support, which I hope EastEnders will show."
A spokeswoman for the soap added: "Everyone knows Kat and Ronnie are both pregnant so it doesn't take much to work out when they may both be due. But it is way too early to confirm storylines as it will only spoil things for viewers."
Hope they don't copy the Emmerdale story. Having one of the babies die is bad enough. :(Quote:

If Ronnie loses another baby that would push her completely over the edge
Is it definitely a new born??? cause I read this on another thread: EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has revealed that Stacey Slater will take centre stage in this year's Christmas storyline.
Could it be Lily??
I think this is her exit storyline as her secret about killing Archie comes out and she is leaving soon enough (will she go to jail or escape)Quote:

Yeh I think it's going to be baby swap, but one baby dies. I feel really bad for Kat and Alfie if that happens to them. Cos Kat will most likely blame herself, she's already had two babies taken off her. Zoe and she had a miscarriage a few years ago. Yeah and then there's Ronnie who has basically gone through the exact same thing. So both of them have probably suffered the same really. It's just Ronnie cries more about it! lol.
Also Ronnie's baby must be a boy :) cos the baby that dies is a boy and Kat's baby is a boy, therefore if they are going to do a swap. Well its obvious lol. cool!
Could it also be maybe Syed's wife Amira wouldnt her baby be due around now also if she comes back but I dont think she is
Eastenders will have its most harrowing holiday period ever when Ronnie Mitchell steals Kat Moon's baby moments after her child dies.
In some of the most emotional scenes in soap history, Ronnie will lose her tot to cot death and run to the Queen Vic for help - still clutching and talking to the body.
As everyone else celebrates New Year's Eve, she hears Kat's newborn cry upstairs, switches it with hers and runs off.
Exec producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "When Ronnie loses the one thing she's always wanted she acts on impulse in a moment of sheer desperation."
Filming of the scenes began this week with Jessie Wallace, 39, and Samantha Womack, 38, as Kat and Ronnie.
Kirkwood said: "We're lucky to have two wonderful actresses who understand the need to portray this subject sensitively."
A show source said: "It will not make for easy viewing, but the makers wanted to work on this subject."
Bosses say they have taken care to research the issue and hope to raise awareness of the 300 babies claimed by cot death every year.
Joyce Epstein of cot death charity FSID said: "We are very grateful for their accurate depiction of the devastating effect the sudden death of an infant can have on a family.
The other Christmas story is the exit of Stacey Branning, played by Lacey Turner.

Oh god that sounds awful
It does sound awful and also unbelievable. Presumably the babies are at least a day old as they are both at home? A mother would know instinctively if it wasn't her baby so I don't see how Kat wont notice unless of course her and Ronnie have managed to have identical twins between them. Plus Ronnie will have to swap the clothes they're wearing around etc.
I know alot of people say all babies look the same but they so don't when it's yours!
I am surprised Ronnie hasnt tried to kill herself with all the tragedy she has
As said in the post above surely a mother knows their own baby
Oh my god! thats even more dramatic than what I thought. Ronnie actually knows that the baby isnt hers! And she's sees Kat go through all that pain.
Also so much for happiness for Ronnie?! There was a spoiler put on here a while ago that said Ronnie would have some happiness for a while cos that's what the viewers want. Havent seen much of it so far. Ronnie has no money to pay for the wedding! Her baby is going to die, that sounds like an extremely awful year to me.
EastEnders - New Year Story
EastEnders' Ronnie Mitchell will steal Kat Moon's baby in a harrowing New Year's Eve storyline.
The nightclub owner -played by Samantha Womack - storms into the Queen Vic pub crying for help just minutes after realising she has lost her tot to cot death.
However, as she stands at the bar clutching her dead baby's body among the punters celebrating the countdown to 2011 she hears new mum Kat (Jessie Wallace)'s newborn cry upstairs.
In one of the soap's most heart-wrenching scenes, Ronnie rushes to the bedroom and swaps the babies before fleeing into the night.
Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood explained: "Viewers will know that Ronnie has had a difficult past, losing both her daughter and father in the last couple of years When Ronnie loses the one thing she's always wanted she acts on impulse in a moment of sheer desperation.
"We're lucky to have two wonderful actresses who understand the need to portray this subject sensitively."
BBC bosses are hoping the devastating storyline will raise awareness of the 300 babies whose lives are claimed by cot death every year.
Joyce Epstein, of cot death charity FSID, said: "We are very grateful for their accurate depiction of the devastating effect the sudden death of an infant can have on a family."
EASTENDERS stars are being offered counselling after breaking down in tears while filming Ronnie Mitchell's harrowing cot death storyline.
The plot sees tragic Ronnie run to the Queen Vic with the body of her longed-for baby and swap it for Kat Moon's child.
Filming had to be halted as both cast and crew were overcome with emotion at Elstree Studios, in Herts.
A source said: "Most of the crew have never shot anything quite so sensitive.
"Filming stopped for over an hour as people found it hard to continue without breaking down. It will certainly be very strong viewing."
TV Biz told last week how the New Year's Day plot will be the latest heartbreak for Ronnie.
Her long-lost teenage daughter Danielle died in her arms last year after being hit by a car.
Fans will see Ronnie, played by Samantha Womack wrap up her lifeless baby and rush to seek help at the pub, where a New Year's Eve party is under way.
She hears Kat's tot crying upstairs and in her grief switches it with hers, before disappearing into the night.
The story is part of the soap's festive ratings bid, which also sees the exit of Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).
Last New Year's Eve, Archie Mitchell's murder mystery helped grab 8.2million viewers.

It's crazy how it was a year ago that Archie died and Bradley! Time has flown by.
I hope Stacey gets away with killing Archie and gets to leave happily with her baby.
Loving the Ronnie and Kat storyline, I didn't think i'd like it, but I'm warming to it definitely. They are all fabulous actors.
I don't like this storyline at all. Why do they have to switch the babies? I just find it really unbelievable and it reminds me of the Emmerdale storyline. If they were going to tackle SIDS they should do it more justice than this there is no need to switch the babies.
Surely Kat will know the dead baby is not her son and does Ronnie leave the Sqaure with the baby or return to Jack with Kat's son?Quote:

Why go to the Vic surely she would ring 999 or go straight to the hospitalQuote:

Jessie (Kat Moon) is seen burying a baby she believes is hers.
However, the dead infant is the child of Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha).

Glad to see that their ''grief'' didnt last too long. Obviously the counsellling worked wonders in a short space of time
The article stated that the actors were OFFERED counselling, you don't know whether any of the professional actors accepted the offer, maybe the filming was stopped because the crew found it too difficult to cope with the storyline.
