I feel sorry for that little boy..I wouldn't want my young child to be filming such scenes-would give them nightmares! How do they prepare these kids for tough storylines like this..?

From what I've read it's always ensured they understand it's just pretend and even turned into a bit of a game. The parents of young children are always on set to make sure they're happy.

I always feel sorry for young babies in scenes where people are shouting though, as there's no way for them to understand that it's pretend at that age. I've been very aware of this in several scenes at the Windasses recently.

They might replace the baby with a doll in those scenes, Dazzle

I think they do when they can get away with it, but I've seen scenes with people shouting with what's obviously a real baby. I'm sure everything possible's done to keep the babies feeling happy, but I can't help but worry that it's causing them stress sometimes.

I would think there must be very strict controls Dazzle, particularly with children involved . Producers would never risk the slightest chance of distress or harm occuring. Would be hell to pay. Perdita makes a good point about the use of dolls .Reminded me of a programme on TV a while back where the dolls used are so realistic with electronically controlled movement ,even down to facial expressions, very difficult to detect...

There have been studies done which show that
if a baby is subjected to hearing eg parents shouting
( even if asleep) because the babys brain is pliable
can cause stress in later life. Not sure how they
tested without subjecting baby to more noise!

In an older child how much they are affected
depends how sensitive the child is -some
Children soon learn to tune out and some
find a noisy household inclusive as long as
not always vying for attention-studies show!

Found above by putting" babies affected shouting"
In search.

Back to tv & soaps- would small ear plugs help
shield baby from noise- for short periods?

I'm sure you're right about there being strict controls Glen. The production company wouldn't want to risk being sued for starters!

Interesting stuff and it certainly gels with how I imagined hearing shouting would affect small children.

That's a good idea. Maybe they can shield the babies from noise for short periods with something over their ears.

Is that where Jenny lives herself or the apartment block of Carla and Nick where the fire takes place?

Looks like flats where fire takes place
