Mandy Dingle's miscarriage is never far from her thoughts. It might have been a long time ago but when Paul (Reece Dinsdale) walked out her on and his baby son Vinny (Bradley Johnson) she miscarried a baby and has never got over the tragedy.

When Mandy has an encounter with Tracy (Amy Walsh) who's currently pregnant, she's overcome with sadness about the baby she lost during the miscarriage which left her infertile.
