Coronation Street's Gemma Winter is due to finally give birth to her quadruplets next week, and it seems things will take a more serious turn afterwards.
The character will go into labour during a day trip to Llandudno with Chesney Brown while floating in a cable car, causing panic.
However, while the babies will be delivered safely after their early arrival, star Dolly-Rose Campbell has revealed that the reality of being a mum will hit her quickly.

"Well it isn't a great start as she and the babies are miles away from home in a strange hospital and it is very stressful for Gemma and Chesney," she said.
"Gemma is really worried that they are not all going to make it. She feels an overwhelming responsibility of suddenly being a mum."
What to Read Next
As for whether it has dawned on her what having four babies means, Dolly-Rose added: "Absolutely, he has no idea what it is like on a day to day basis having one baby never mind four! She has no family experience of babies."
She continued: "I think she is going to be like any mum, trying the best that she can. She will definitely be overwhelmed about the situation and the reality of looking after them and the desire to protect them.
"She does have a very strong maternal instinct. She does rise to the challenge. Part of her wants for her children what she didn't have and she wants to learn from her mum's mistakes and her upbringing but she has a lot more to deal with, Bernie only had two to think about and she didn't do a great job, Gemma has four plus Joseph."
The star also promised that we can "definitely" look forward to more comedy, revealing: "This is Gemma with quads after all but we will also be looking at some of the reality and the more serious issues that multiple births can bring up such as health scares and money worries."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
