I might be having a complete brain freeze but I don't remember Neighbours (or other soap) running a storyline involving a small child's death unless it a cot death story.

She, not it, Gilly 😀 this doesn't mean that she won't require treatment in the future, hope Amber does go to America with Matilda, I don't want the baby to die. Anyway, since spoilers for the next couple of weeks say Matilda is coming home, then her death and Amber's departure would need to happen really quickly, it would be very rushed for such an important storyline. As Chris is going to be on Skype soon, and both Doug and Lou are returning for guest stints, it would be much more believable that either of these could be part of a build-up to Amber's departure-e.g Chris could tell Amber there is a great photography course in NYU and that there's a hospital offering excellent care for babies with CDH. Just a theory, I don't have any "reliable sources" lol 😀

EastEnders did too .. causing Samantha Womack to leave the show for a while ... Laurel in Emmerdale experienced this storyline when baby Daniel died, Kevin Webster´s son in Coronation Street died of SIDS, Zoe Tattersall lost her baby girl as did Sarah Platt´s son Billy .. there have been a few but mostly cot deaths :(
