She's got quite the gob on her and I think she could have recruited Beth to help keep the girls in line - it could have at least led to some dark humour and brought up ethical issues of its own (human trafficking anyone?).

The only excuse I can give tptb is that with MK leaving they had to find a way to stretch the story longer than it was supposed to run. At the moment, Rita is backing Tina and seems to have changed her mind on seeing how much Tina loves the baby.

Corrie had a chance to showcase a real option for the infertile and instead used it as a "conflict" storyline.
