On Coronation Street, Dee-Dee Bailey starts questioning her baby’s decision as she tries to make the best arrangements for its future. She had intended to give her baby up for adoption, but developments change her mind about whether she is doing the right thing.
James and Danny Propose to Adopt Dee-Dee‘s Baby
Dee-Dee is pregnant with Joel Deering’s child. She had initially requested a termination but reconsidered when she heard that Lauren Bolton‘s son, Frankie—who also has the same father, Joel—had to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Frankie suffers from aplastic anemia, and doctors initially suspected Dee-Dee‘s unborn baby could be a donor.
After assisting Lauren and Frankie, she was planning to put the baby up for adoption, but fortunately, there was a donor elsewhere. As the transplant is no longer in her baby‘s future, she is now going ahead with adoption. On Coronation Street’s March 18 episode, Dee-Dee‘s brother James proposed that he and his boyfriend Danny adopt the baby. Dee-Dee quickly turned down the proposal, saying that she didn’t need a constant reminder of Joel in her life.
