Thank you for answering my questions again, Tam. I bet the directors wish all the actors were as well behaved and cooperative as Rebecca. Has she started teething and talking yet? Isn't she in it next week? Has she been getting fan mail?

[tam]

She has got four teeth and more coming through I think, with the amount of drooling she is doing at the moment. She has started talking, everything is either 'daddy' or 'dog'. She should be in it tonight.

Awww. She'll be walking before you know it. I presume this huge ending for Karen due to be shown at Christmas where she kidnaps Amy results in Karen disappearing but Amy is still alive. They wouldn't be that mean to us, would they? Or are you sworn to secrecy?

We don't know ! Because Rebecca doesn't talk (yet) we don't get to see the scripts. You probably know more than us.

[RitaLittlewood]

I'm sure they wouldn't kill Amy off. Do you know when they have the Christmas break? She was so cute in that hotel restaurant scene in Monday's episode. Do they take ideas from you about things Rebecca likes and add them to the script when Amy needs feeding?

They don't ask in advance but they usually have access to different foods so I can tell them what to give her. They are really good and will try to get her whatever I ask for. Rebecca has a very good appetite so it isn't usually a problem.

Hi Tam,

She's getting so big. Has she started walking yet? I hope she's not a fussy eater. Apparently I was as a baby. Maybe one day she'll be on one of those retrospective programmes. ;D

OOOH Tam =- you're rebecca's mum?

She is so lovely - I can't wait to see her when I watch corrie! I got pregnant at the same time as tracy barlow but she gave birth 2 months before me!

Rebecca is so cute - she reminds me of my baby!.

Is she your first?

Hi Lenita & Mia

Yes, Rebecca is my first, so it has been an experience having a baby and filming at Corrie. Rebecca really enjoys it when she is there.

I didn't really watch Corrie all the time before I had Rebecca so I didn't keep track of the length of Tracy's pregnancy. Rebecca was only 3 weeks when she started filming, so her age is pretty accurate.

Is Mia your first ? Hope eveything is going well.

Yes we're all fine - just about managing to cope with sleep deprivation and now teething! How old is Rebecca now? does she sleep through the night yet? Mia is nearly 7 months now and sleeps through on and off.

got to go and feed her now!

see ya!

We have been very lucky Rebecca started sleeping through the night from about 8 weeks. We have only had about three or four broken nights sleep since.

ooh you're lucky! mia stil likes to wake us at night! Her night time sleep went pearshaped when i introduced protein to her diet! she went bonkers and woke 6 - 7 times a night screaming. We turned into zombies!

Rebecca was really sweet the other night in corrie when she said dada! I wish i could get mia's hair into a pigtail!
