Though I wasn't offended by the storyline like millions were, personally I don't see the issue. It's a tv soap, it's supposed to be exaggerated - it's not sick, it's fiction. At the end of the day, the baby doesn't belong to neither Kat nor Ronnie so I don't see the need for viewers to complain.
I am looking forward to Kat getting her baby back though, its dragged out way too long and getting rather boring now.
The people who have complained don't have the luxury of finding it boring.
To almost every person who has lost a child this storyline and the way it was handled on and off screen is a slap in the face, an insult and a very sick way to raise ratings.
Before the story was even aired people were concerned and upset about how it might be handled and those concerns have been proved right.
The three cast members directly involved were pictured laughing and joking and jumping on each other during the scenes to film the funeral. They said they needed to let off steam but again it was an insult to parents who have held a funeral for a real baby.
They've said insulting and offensive things in interviews and trivialised peoples feelings over this storyline and generally shown that they couldn't even raise awareness or understanding within their own cast, let alone anyone still bothering to watch the rubbish they were churning out.
And one of those concerns was that people who haven't lost a child will watch this show and dismiss the loss as easy to forget about and easily fixed with a replacement baby.
Ronnie has replaced her son and it's only thanks to the complaints of the viewers that she didn't then go on happily with her life.
Kat and Alfie lost their baby and seem fine on it and are going to live happily ever after when he is just handed back as though nothing happened.
Yes, this is fiction, but it has done nothing to raise awareness or help bereaved families and nothing to make people think just how bad it must be for someone to lose a baby.
And it is offensive and sick to use that as entertainment, even more so to hide the fact that they wanted to raise ratings at christmas behind the old "we are "raising awareness" chestnut the soaps always trot out when they want to turn real tragedy into rubbish drama.
It wouldnt be all laughter and smiles straight away I'm sure!
) but i'm just giving another perspective to it. I mean no disrespect in any way to parents who have lost child, I do have full sympathy
