Lauren thanks Dee-Dee for going ahead with her pregnancy, believing it’s given Frankie a real shot at a normal life.

But as Dee-Dee’s brother James arrives in Weatherfield, she secretly ditches her hospital appointment to spend time with him.

Just as she’s enjoying the reunion, an urgent text from Lauren drags her back to reality.

Rushing to the hospital, Dee-Dee is floored when Lauren reveals a new donor has been found for Frankie – meaning he won’t have to wait for her baby to be born.

Dee-Dee puts on a brave face, but inside, she’s rocked.

Later in the week, the shocks keep coming when James suggests that he and Danny adopt Dee-Dee’s baby and raise it in a loving home.

Stunned by the unexpected offer, Dee-Dee is left reeling.

As she meets with her social worker to discuss the adoption process, she takes a huge step and arranges a meeting with the prospective parents – but will she really go through with it?

Elsewhere, a heartbroken Daisy Midgeley struggles to find closure over the loss of her baby – but when a quiet moment of reflection is interrupted, emotions run high.

Wanting to help her heal, Daniel suggests they hold a small memorial.
