Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) has been busy sorting out her love life in EastEnders and after Molly – the owner of stray dog Ziggy – tracks her down, she asks Bernie out for coffee.
However, Bernie could have more than her love life to think about soon as there’s a high chance she will become a surrogate for Stuart (Ricky Champ) and Rainie (Tanya Franks).
Over at The Vic, Bernie fills Karen (Lorraine Stanley) in on her upcoming date with Molly and they overhear Rainie and Stuart chatting about trying to find a surrogate again.
Karen then gets a call – someone wants the money they’re owed, leaving her panicked.
Later, Karen and Bernie return home to find the living room a tip, someone’s left a threatening message to pay up.
Mitch (Roger Griffiths) realises it’s loan sharks and Karen toys with the idea of becoming Rainie’s surrogate for money, but Bernie shuts her down.
Bernie may think it’s a bad idea for Karen to become Rainie’s surrogate – but will she consider the idea?
The money will be exactly what the Taylors need, but can Bernie cope with carrying a child and then giving it away, considering she’s already experienced a miscarriage?
