We we talking about babies on the soaps, and I started to count up the number of babies born in places other than the maternity hospital, some very bizzare!
Emmerdale has the highest number. These are the ones I can think of, I'm sure I will have missed some!
On Emmerdale -
Moira's baby Isaac, born outside at the farm, in a storm (delivered by mad murderer Emma)
Cain's son Kyle , born in the village phone box, to his 16 year old mother.
Belle Dingle, born in the family's stable on Christmas Eve. Her mother didn't know she was pregnant
Megan's daughter Eliza, born in the woods
Sarah, Debbies daughter, born in the cricket pavilion. when Debbie was 14
Charity's son Moses, born in prison.
Coronation St -
Rosie Webster, born in a taxi on Rosamund St
Joseph, son of the late Katie, and Chesney, born on the set of the nativity play (this has to be the most implausible ever!!)
13 year old Fay had her baby, Myley, which none of her family knew about, in an empty house. Fortunately the lovely and reliable Craig was on hand to get help.
Eastenders -
Kim's daughter Pearl, born in the Minute Mart I think
Rebecca Fowler, born on or near the staircase at home
Another teenage character, Demi someone, also had her baby on the floor at home.
I know there must be many more. A conventional hospital delivery or planned home birth is far too tame for Soapland it seems
