Parents: Liam Shepherd & Zoe Tattersall
Shannon had a rather confused entry into the world.
Desperate for a baby, childless Gary and Judy Mallett paid Shannon's mother Zoe
Tattersall £2,000 for the baby and took her in as their own, calling her Katie
Joyce Mallett and going to the extent of illegally registering her in that name
and Gary as the father. However, the pull of motherhood was too strong, and Zoe
finally took her back at the end of 1997, calling her Shannon Jade. Tragically,
she died of meningitis four months later, in the arms of babysitter Leanne
Tilsley.

Bethany Britney Platt Parents:
Sarah Louise Platt and Neil Fearns
The most controversial birth on Coronation Street. Sarah Louise Platt
was only a 12-year old schoolgirl when she fell pregnant by classmate Neil
Fearns, later bemoaning that they had "only done it once". Sarah Louise didn't
realise she was pregnant until five months later, when it was too late for an
abortion, and so had to give birth to the child. Although her pregnancy and
birth went smoothly, she rapidly realised that her childhood had ended and her
life would never be the same again.

Laura Barnes 9lb 6oz,
Gloucestershire; Parents: Natalie
Barnes and Vinny
Sorrell
Landlady of the Rovers Return Natalie
has never really recovered from the loss of her husband, Des Barnes. She started
a relationship with Vinny Sorrell, the Rovers potman, but the relationship was
always rocky and it came as no surprise whe it broke up in October 2000 - though
it was surprising that he strayed with Natalie's sister Debs. Shortly afterwards
Natalie found she was pregnant by Vinny, but chose to keep this secret and Vinny
and Debs left Weatherfield for a new life working on cruise ships. Sick of the
small talk in the enclosed Weatherfield community, Natalie sold the Rovers and
went to live in the Cotswolds with her cousin Helen, and gave birth to Laura in
February 2001, happy to be a single parent.

Norris's middle name, was safely delivered on the blue sofa which is still in
the Watts' lounge...

Joshua Peacock Weatherfield
General Hospital; Parents: Maxine
Peacock and Matt
Ramsden
On the very night her husband was
having infertility treatment, Maxine Peacock had a drunken fling with next-door
neighbour and GP Matt Ramsden. Soon after she found she was pregnant, but didn't
know whether this was by her doctor or newly-virile husband. Unable to contain
his excitement that he may be a father, Dr Ramsden finally revealed his secret
to a horrified Ashley and Maxine, and Maxine promptly went into labour 8 weeks
early. Joshua was delivered safely and without ill-effects, with Maxine
insisting his father was Ashley, but Ashley refusing to accept the baby as his
own. Ashley demanded a paternity test, but on the day of the test, when Joshua
came out of hospital, Ashley relented and finally accepted Joshua as his son.
Ashley is listed as the father on Joshua's birth certificate, but a DNA test in
February 2003 following Maxine's death revealed that Matt Ramsden was Josh's
biological father.
