So upsetting.

God, I'm sobbing watching this, and I don't actually watch EE, its just on in the background most days.

I really hope that part of the story is that this SW is shit.

Jesus christ I'm in floods and had to get 14 week old Dd out of bed just to hug her

Really awful storyline.

I know people get children taken away. But not for those reasons. Some washing etc. Ridiculous.

SW can and do get things wrong and at times lie to cover tbeir tracks.

This social worker seems to be a bit of a bitch who has taken a dislike to Lola. The other SW's she had were nothing like this so I really don't feel it represents Social Services as a whole.

Total load of dangerous nonsense. It's actually made me feel really rather angry.

I am crying too :-(

Did Lola bit social worker?

And did anyone else wonder if sw strapped baby in seat properly as drove off very quickly?!

Lola is a good actress.

perhaps she is just really rubbish at her job Billy makes a complaint SW steals baby sounds like an E E story

I have been thinking the exact same thing!! Surely it would be obvious to anyone the baby is loved and cared for. Aren't all new mums told to let the housework slide. Dishes don't mind being neglected etc yet she's being lambasted for washing up not being done. Scarily bad portrayal of SS I hope.

I found it upsetting. Can social workers really do this!!!
Terrible terrible script writing

i would have bitten her as well.

That was absolutely awful to watch.

I had to go and hide in the kitchen as I was so upset.

So sad.

OH i have recorded it has she had lexie taken from her ?

Oh gawd I haven't watched tonight's yet - is it going to make me sob and clutch 7 wo dd a bit closer?!

I reckon I would have done more than bite her in that situation

"Lola is a good actress."

I totally agree!

Don't watch it Whatevertheweather. Congratulations on your DD

Yes I'm afraid it will Whatever

I read somewhere that the actress that plays Lola is a newbie and this is her first ever acting role.. don't know if that is correct or not. She was amazing.

Its all a bit weird and horrid isn't it? It reminds me of that old urban legend about people pretending to be from ss in order to nick babies

Horrible storyline and wildly inaccurate

Social care are so stretched they wouldn't want to pay out on an expensive foster care arrangement when grandad could care for the baby

And

She hasn't even been charged or found guilty so grounds for removing the baby at all

The writers should be ashamed

Fantastic actress, the new Lacey Turner ( played Stacey Slater)!
