EastEnders Sharon’s baby birth scene mocked as fans notice awkward blunder
Sharon Mitchell finally had her baby, a boy, on last night's episode of Eastenders, after a dramatic birth that saw her deliver him on the floor of the funeral parlour, assisted by Kathy Beale.
There was no time to dash to the hospital after Sharon's waters broke, probably bought on by the stress of being held hostage by former stepson Ben Mitchell, who was trying to force Keanu into releasing boyfriend Callum, using Sharon as a pawn.
But aside from all the fast-paced and intensified action of the episode, one thing that had viewers talking was the look of Sharon's newborn son – not his actual looks, although some thought he looked neither like Phil or Keanu but another male resident from Albert Square…
"Bad time to mention that Sharon's baby looks a bit like Max?" joked one eagle-eyed viewer in a Twitter post.

However, it was the spotless look of the baby that had fans really talking, as the baby seemed to come out the womb already cleaned up, apart from a small dab of blood on top of his head.
One viewer reconciled the reasoning behind this decision, saying: "'Sharon's baby looks too old' Yeah, Janice, they're not going to grab a newborn out of a real mum's afterbirth and cast it in #eastenders are they?"
Another joked: "Straight from mothers whoosh to eastenders Sharon's whoosh, #eastenders missed a trick."

Even non-watchers of the show joined in the discussion, with one poster tweeting: "Lol this made me laugh. I don’t watch Enders so not sure what this baby looked like but not sure how I would have felt while I pushed my Baby out if a casting director was also down that end and went 'nah sorry this ones not right for the role ….next!' Lol."
But even more hotly discussed on the social networking site was the fate of the newest member of the EastEnders family, following the death of his older brother Dennis while he was being born.
Fans speculated that Sharon would find it hard to bond with the baby because of the tragic connection.

Another fan of the show tweeted: "Thinking about how denny died thinking sharon lied to him about going away and how he's never going to his little brother and how painful it'll be for sharon knowing her baby's birthday will always be the day her other baby died."
While someone else posted: "I hope #Eastenders dont make sharon reject this baby She has been through so much but this baby is another miracle too."
Fans will have to wait and see what happens next when EastEnders returns next week.
