It was obvious that a white-hot secret like Eileen's pregnancy wasn't going to remain a secret in Shieldinch for longer than...five minutes? From Eileen to Ruth to Liz to Malcolm and then finally to poor Raymond, the gobsmacked dad-to-be: news of Eileen's condition spread like wildfire.
Plenty of classic Rossi/Henderson family moments in this week's episode, with poor Raymond jumping to the conclusion that Gina was pregnant, and Malcolm lecturing his mid-life daughter and ex-son-in-law about taking precautions (ew).
Poor Eileen, she was like a wrung-out rag after an emotional rollercoaster of a day, but we're glad she ended up more open to the possibility of having a baby.
Paul and Deirdre, who play Raymond and Eileen, talk about their own experiences of parenthood in The Scottish Sun and Deirdre discusses the pregnancy storyline in this Daily Record article.
