"EastEnders executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has insisted that the soap&amp;#039;s upcoming baby-swap storyline will be believable. The hard-hitting storyline will begin on New Year&amp;#039;s Eve when Ronnie Mitchell discovers that her newborn son has died and swaps him with Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon&amp;#039;s (Shane Richie) baby. The Sun reports that the scenes will show Ronnie (Samantha Womack) hold her child&amp;#039;s blue fist and touch his face with the back of her hand. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s high drama, which EastEnders has a 25-year history of delivering,&amp;quot; Kirkwood said. &amp;quot;We deliver big, big, gritty stories that chime with the audience, and I think that&amp;#039;s what these stories do. It&amp;#039;s undoubtedly a bold storyline. I&amp;#039;m very proud of the episodes.&amp;quot; The former Hollyoaks boss said that the show had worked to ensure the scenes had an &amp;quot;absolute believability&amp;quot; to them. &amp;quot;We went to great pains to see that the babies are born in different circumstances and we took advice from a maternity nurse on how the story could come about in real life,&amp;quot; he stated. &amp;quot;We started the story-planning by asking, &amp;#039;How could this happen?&amp;#039; I think there is an absolute believability to how the events unfold.&amp;quot; He added that the dark plot will be balanced out with scenes of celebration as the Walford residents welcome in the New Year. &amp;quot;We took great pains to make sure the rest of the episode showed a community with a lot of love,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We see a lot of friendships, fun and festivities, and we hope these counter the inevitable darkness of this story.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
