Dani says she faked the pregnancy to keep Bill (Timon Durrett) and must now pretend to have a miscarriage before she is supposed to be showing. How Many People Know? Vernon (Clifton Davis), Martin (Brandon Claybon), Elon (Malachi Malik), Marcel (Darryl W. Handy), Bill, Joey (Jon Lindstrom) and Ted (Keith D. Robinson) all gather to discuss that dreaded night two years ago (Half the town knows!). Vernon pulls Ted into the conversation and Martin begs him not to include his father. Vernon says Ted has known the entire time (so much for not keeping secrets from Nicole). Is My Daddy Dirty? Jacob (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) discuss Smitty's (Mike Manning) investigation. Naomi notes Elon explained the situation, but Jacob can't help but wonder how deep this conspiracy goes. Secrets and Lies: Anita (Tamara Tunie) asks Vernon what he's hiding from her.

West Lothian mum 'made to feel like her baby didn't matter' after stillbirth
After nine early miscarriages and a round of failed IVF, Carol Cowen was understandably anxious when she found out that she was pregnant at the end of 2024. To put her mind at ease, she went with partner Greg for frequent scans. At 18 weeks, her baby was active and moving with a strong heartbeat but just two weeks later they were given the most heartbreaking news - sadly their tiny daughter had passed away. Carol, from Livingston, told Edinburgh Live: "We had a scan two weeks before and she was absolutely fine. She was moving and the heartbeat was strong, so we're not, we weren't sure what had happened at that point. READ MORE: Eager Edinburgh foodies in huge queues for new global sensation Oakberry Açai READ MORE: Noel Gallagher says Scotland is a 'third world country' in feud with Lewis Capaldi "We were taken from the scan room upstairs to the maternity ward, and we were put in like a wee suite that they have called the Willow suite, and I was basically told then that we would be given some sort of medication to start labour and I would have to come back and give birth." Carol was in labour for around seven hours when she gave birth to baby Charlotte, she said she could tell she was a little girl, that she was fully formed and could see her little fingernails. It was then that Carol herself was rushed into surgery due to complications, she lost about two litres of blood and almost died. She continued: "I was told shortly after that when I came round that Charlotte - obviously we knew she was a girl, you could quite clearly see she was a girl, she was completely formed at 20 weeks, you could see everything, her fingernails, the whole lot, everything was there - I was told that basically we wouldn't get a birth certificate or a death certificate or anything like that for her because she wasn't born at 24 weeks." Heartbroken Carol went to speak to her employers and explain the situation. She was told that because Charlotte was born at 20 weeks, she was only entitled to one week of leave - two at a managers' discretion. It was only due to the complications that she herself experienced during the birth that she was able to get put on sick leave to recover. "With that kind of response was just like being having your heart just absolutely crushed," she said. "That's the only way I can sort of describe it. It's just like it's complete disbelief. Yeah, it's disbelief and you just can't get your head around it, and then finding that out, you kind of feel like your baby doesn't actually matter." Carol had to go back to work in July, her pay had been cut in half while on sick leave and with standard bills on top of the expenses of IVF, she "had no option" but to return. Now she's campaigning for the UK Government to give mothers who have no choice but to give birth from 12 weeks onwards full maternity leave and pay. She also wants stillborn babies under 24 weeks to have their birth and sex registered, and for a national IVF leave policy with protected time off and workplace protections to be put in place. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox The 43-year-old continued: "We lost Charlotte. She was born on the 23rd of March, We're now July and it's still just as raw. "I don't even know if there are words. It's like having your heart just completely shattered, your whole life just falls apart. You're just completely numb like nothing matters anymore. "But the thing is, I mean, I'm not alone. There's just so many other families that are going through the exact same thing and the exact same procedures and processes and it's just completely inhumane. It's just awful. "Obviously if the policies get changed, it's not gonna help obviously us now, but I want nobody else to have to go through this in the future, it's just, It's just terrible. I don't want anyone else to have to feel like this." Carol has now set up a petition in an attempt to get the UK Government to take notice and make changes. A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'The loss of a baby, no matter at what stage of pregnancy, is a traumatic event and our thoughts are with women and families who have been affected. 'The Scottish Government supports enhanced provision of family-related leave and pay and, along with many public bodies, already provides paid leave for parents who experience miscarriage or stillbirth at any stage of pregnancy. 'Scottish ministers continue to call on the UK Government to use its reserved powers over employment to improve provision for families as part of its wider Make Work Pay reforms to ensure that parental leave and pay provision fully supports working parents in Scotland.' While a UK Government spokesperson added: "We offer our sympathy to Carol and all those who have experienced miscarriage, as well as the challenges of neonatal care and fertility treatment. 'Everyone deserves dignity and respect in these circumstances, which is why our Employment Rights Bill extends protected bereavement leave to those who experience pregnancy loss before 24 weeks, allowing the time to grieve without worrying about work.' So far, Carol has over 700 signatures but she needs as many as possible to make a difference. You can see the full petition and what she is campaigning here.

Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan reveals she suffered a miscarriage and insists she 'doesn't want sympathy' while urging fans to 'be mindful'
Geordie Shore 's Holly Hagan has revealed she suffered a miscarriage in March. The star, 33, who is mother to son Alpha-Jax, two, with husband Jacob Blyth, held a Q&A on Instagram on Thursday in which she was asked about having more children. When asked: 'Are you having anymore children? Your a great mum [sic]', Holly, who shot to fame on the MTV show in 2011, replied with the heartbreaking news and urged fans to stop quizzing her on children. Layered over the top of a picture of two pregnancy tests, Holly wrote: 'Just because 90% of the questions are about when we're having another and I do get constant comments like 'AJ needs a sibling' and I'm like I KNOWW!!... 'I did want to speak about it at the time but didn't know how and didn't know how and didn't want any sympathy (and still don't so please don't message lol) but we did miscarry in March... 'Just a reminder to be mindful when commenting saying 'when's the next' because holw on earth would we know that.' Holly is often candid on social media and has frequently opened up about the ups and downs of motherhood since welcoming Alpha-Jax in June 2023. She spoke to BBC about suffering with postpartum anxiety and how she was plagued with concerns over her son's mortality. Holly said: ''I suffered quite badly with postpartum anxiety, and I worried about absolutely everything. I know this sounds morbid, but I just kept thinking that at any point Alpha-Jax could potentially die... 'We didn't even have visitors for weeks because I worried that he might catch something. I wish I hadn't worried as much and that I'd trusted my gut in situations, but I think it's a common to be worried about all these things... 'He survived all the visitors, and he even goes to nursery now. I'm proud of keeping him alive and that he's a happy, confident little boy... 'There have been so many joyful moments and honestly, Alpha-Jax has just got such an incredible energy. He brightens up our days, even on his whingiest days.' Holly announced she was welcoming her first child in January 2023, six months after marrying National League footballer Jacob in a summer Ibiza wedding. Announcing the news in an exclusive video with OK! magazine, Holly told Jacob: 'Your patience, strength and resilience inspire me every single day and I couldn't think of a strong role model for our future children.' The video then cut to Jacob unwrapping a present which contained a positive pregnancy test, leading to a shocked reaction from the footballer. The following month, Holly announced she was expecting a son after filming a gender reveal and joint second wedding party for Geordie Shore.

Myleene Klass says her MBE shows women's healthcare ‘needs to move forward'
Myleene Klass was awarded an MBE by King Charles at Windsor Castle for her campaigning on miscarriage, stating the honour signifies that women's healthcare needs to progress. Klass, who has suffered four miscarriages, highlighted that the recognition acknowledges collective efforts to improve a neglected area of women's health and can lead to legal changes. Singer Leona Lewis received an OBE for her music career and extensive charity work, particularly in animal welfare and environmental causes, stressing the importance of using her platform for broader issues. Patricia Hewitt, a former health secretary, was made a Dame Commander for her services to public health and NHS reform, notably for her role in the 2007 smoking ban, which she considers her most impactful contribution. Other prominent figures recognised at the investiture included Sir Warren East for services to the economy and Net Zero aviation, and Sir Nick Gibb for services to education.
