EastEnders is reportedly planning a storyline involving the tragic death of a newborn baby in the New Year.

The Daily Star Sunday claims that producers are refusing to reveal whether the plot will involve Kat Moon or Ronnie Mitchell.

A source said: "The baby will be born in the New Year but will sadly die from a rare condition just a few days later. It's going to be heartbreaking. The doctors aren't able to do anything to save the tiny baby and there will be a lot of unanswered questions surrounding his death."

Ann Chalmers, chief executive of Child Bereavement, said: "The death of a child is a particularly difficult and painful kind of loss. Anyone who suffers such a loss will need the appropriate support, which I hope EastEnders will show."

A spokeswoman for the soap added: "Everyone knows Kat and Ronnie are both pregnant so it doesn't take much to work out when they may both be due. But it is way too early to confirm storylines as it will only spoil things for viewers."

Hope its Kat (ik that sounds bad) but poor Ronnie can't loose another child

Has to be Kat. It would be just plain sadistic to let it be Ronnie.

Ohhh do you think both babies will have problems and it will jump from 1 to another to whom will die?

Gonna be a very sad storyline but it will be played out well, if its Ronnie omg, and I can see it being tbf (Jack has a kid from Roxy + Sam, Kat's baby is Alfie's cousin so has potential to cause a stir) :/

if it's ronnie's i will stab myself.

Oooo interesting should be good.

But tbh,

I hope it's Ronnie just because I hope she finally kills herself afterwards.

But if it is Kat then it will destroy her character although tbh I don't think she cares about the baby anyway LOL

But on the other hand, just ******ing give Ronnie the baby to shut her up.
I'm fed up with her being pregnant, not being pregnant, being pregnant, lolz joke i'm not actually, being pregnant, umg my dad killed it, split a condom, yay i'm pregnant again.

It's like, DUDE!

This is Eastenders we're discussing here

I think it'll be Kat because Jessie Wallace had said she'll be involved in a huge storyline in the new year. I'm sure she actually said it was going to be the biggest soap storyline ever, but if it's this, I don't see how it is.

More light hearted storylines from EastEnders... I'm surprised they don't have the baby die on Christmas Day, that would be nice & typical of their usual depressing Christmas episodes... And if it is Ronnie then that is really, really, really taking the pi**!!

It'd seriously better not be Ronnie's

Lol, you can be sadistic to fictional characters too. Ever seen a Lars von Trier movie?

[bbfan1991]

Please let it be Kat, Ronnie deserves to be happy for a change after all the misery.

Bet its Ronnie, she never seems to be able to have a baby for long, danielle taken away, then she comes back and dead. Jack has babies with all the mitchells. Kats baby living gives them the storyline of Alfie accepting the baby as his.

Hope its not Ronnie, i can see a nice character there but all the misery she has gone through have made her unpopular.
