EASTENDERS fans are in tears after Janine Butcher was given devastating news about her baby.
The scheming bar manager – who is played by actress Charlie Brooks in the ITV soap – suffered a horror fall last night in a tube station and was rushed to hospital.

After waiting for news of her unborn baby’s health, the nurse checking said the baby had a strong heartbeat.
But she then noticed something troubling and went to see a doctor.
“The baby is OK,” the doctor told Janine before adding: “For now.”
“This was a serious fall and we think you may have suffered a partial placental abruption.
“It’s where the placenta detaches from the wall of the uterus. In cases of complete detachment it means the baby has stopped receiving oxygen and nutrients in the womb.
“We’re still trying to ascertain the level of abruption we’re facing here,” the doctor replied.
“All we can do is continue monitoring you.”
As Janine demanded to know the reality of what she was facing, the doctor told her the heartbreaking truth.
“We don’t know for sure,” the doctor replied. “There’s 15 per cent chance the baby might not survive.
“There could also be delays in development and the possibility of premature birth. I’ll give you some time.”
One wrote: “I hope Janine and her baby are ok. Losing a child is horrible for anyone no matter what you think of Janine.”
A second said: “I can’t stand Janine but I wouldn’t wish that on anybody!”
Another added: “That last scene between Janine and Mick was heartbreaking. Nobody deserves this.”
