TWO Doors Down is set to deliver a new neighbour this Christmas — as telly couple Alan and Michelle become parents.
The 'secret' plotline leaked after Joy McAvoy, 43, was seen on set with screen partner Graeme 'Grado' Stevely, 37 — and a baby bump.

We told how the BBC sitcom's cast reunited in Hamilton last week for the first time in two years to film scenes for their festive special.
And our Two Doors Down photos show Joy sporting a large prop bulge underneath her maroon top as she meets up again with Grado, who is wearing a tracksuit and trainers.
A telly insider said: 'Bosses were desperate to keep Michelle and Alan's baby joy under wraps but the cat's out of the bag now.
'The last series had left viewers on the edge of their seats after Alan popped the question in Vegas.'
It was feared we'd seen the last of the Latimer Crescent crew when the show's co-creator Simon Carlyle died in August 2023, aged 48.
But we exclusively revealed in March that fellow writer Gregor Sharp, 54, had penned a one-off episode.
The BBC was asked for comment.
Elsewhere on location, Elaine C. Smith - who plays foul-mouthed Christine - arrived in sandals, black trousers, white jumper and dark shades.
Arabella Weir and Alex Norton were all smiles as they bring back put-upon neighbours Beth and Eric.
Grado was seen beaming as he greeted locals and posed for photos with some fans of the award-winning series.
Meanwhile, Doon Mackichan reprises her role as permanently sozzled neighbour Cathy.
Gregor Sharp, who has written the new Christmas special, said: 'It's really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode.
"Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low-level irritated by them, so it feels like they're the perfect group to celebrate the season with.'
BBC director of comedy, Jon Petrie, added: 'There's something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos."
