Over the weeks, Dee-Dee’s been getting more and more involved in baby Laila’s life in Coronation Street. And, James has been walking a tightrope ever since his split with his partner. But next week, Dee-Dee crosses a line that’s hard to come back from, and it might just set off a family row the Baileys won’t recover from easily.
Dee-Dee’s Attachment Grows But So Does the Tension
Ever since James and his partner went their separate ways, the whole Bailey family has been rallying around to help with baby Laila. Dee-Dee in particular has stepped into a big role, almost too big. She’s been loving every minute of looking after Laila, and you can tell she’s getting way too attached.
But the problem for her is, James isn’t just handing over the parenting duties. He’s been very clear that he doesn’t want any major decisions made without him, especially not anything involving religion. But Dee-Dee’s faith means the world to her. And even though James has made his feelings known, she quietly starts making plans of her own, plans he knows nothing about.
The Baptism Happens In Coronation Street
Next week, Dee-Dee picks up Laila from James, feeling a bit uneasy about what she’s about to do. But that guilty feeling doesn’t last long because she goes ahead and has the baby baptised anyway, with Billy Mayhew leading the service. And instead of keeping it low-key, she’s soon at the Bistro having a full-on celebration with Alya and Adam, who she’s chosen as Laila’s godparents.
Yep, she’s made the whole thing official, without James even getting a hunch of it. A source from the show said she’s really taking a risk by openly enjoying what she’s done. According to the source, her actions show that she’s putting her own beliefs above James’ wishes, and that’s bound to leave him feeling completely blindsided. If somehow James hears even a hint of that, the secret’s out.
James Fights Back
While Dee-Dee’s enjoying the attention at The Rovers, and even getting chatted up by a stranger named Ollie, things soon go downhill. James walks in with a news that makes Dee-Dee go pale. The news is, he’s been in touch with the adoption team. Now, he is officially moving ahead to make Laila his daughter.
This leaves Dee-Dee stunned. She didn’t expect him to go through with adoption after the breakup. And she’s been acting like part of a big family unit raising Laila together. But now, everything’s about to change.
So, what happens if the rest of the Baileys start picking sides? Dee-Dee’s got a strong emotional bond with Laila now. But James has the legal backing and believes he’s doing the right thing. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street spoilers, shockers, and drama.
