As a storyline it wouldn't be bad either for Erica to undergo tests and deal with the hard decisions. I'm an older parent and I endured a scare, but happily the tests came back negative. As for being selfish, I don't know if Erica is that way because, as another commenter pointed out, we don't know anything about herAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-67630642961983643752015-05-03T23:04:36.292+01:002015-05-03T23:04:36.292+01:00Sorry but the pregnant Erica storyline is absurd. ...Sorry but the pregnant Erica storyline is absurd. Her argument for I'll never have another chance is so selfish. She'll be an OAP and the kid will still be in school. Not to mention the health risks, congenital problems and the greater than 1 in 40 chance of having a Down Syndrome child. She should be showing maturity, she's 50+ years old.Zaggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-77057576108673897672015-05-03T16:00:12.415+01:002015-05-03T16:00:12.415+01:00A lot of comments seem to object to the idea of a ...A lot of comments seem to object to the idea of a 50 year old woman having a child. How many 50 year old men have kids with younger women? I think many women, who never found the right partner earlier in life or who were pursuing a career, could identify with Erica's remark that she won't have another chance.

It's like Sophie is more of Jack's parent than Kevin. I never really thought of Sophie that way - ie maternal - but it raises the interesting question of her becoming an actual parent in the future. Artificial insemination storyline in the distant future?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
