Surely with the high level of young girls falling pregnant in the UK EE and other soaps would be doing the best to promote safe sex and not encouraging young people to indulge in unprotected sex. I know they are married but they have nothing they are struggling with dead-end jobs. The writers should be using their status to educate young people of the dangers of un-protected sex and encourage them to live a life before they decide to become parents. It's like that the writers are stuck for a storyline and they've just used the Stacey/Bradley pregnancy plot to bail them out. It's the same with Corrie the writers get stuck so they come up with a "hey lets make Ken have an affair" Hellloooo its been done before many times.
This is why I don't watch soaps as the writers think the viewers will watch whatever mince they dish out. Sorry no-go writers you get payed mega bucks start doing the job you're paid to do and stop recycling old plots.
