Mum (Episode 9896)

The Mum and her toddler son were relaxing in Victoria Street's Community Garden as Daniel and Sinead Osbourne sat nearby. They had received the devastating news that morning that Sinead's cancer was now untreatable and she only had a matter of weeks to live. They were grabbing every moment they could together with their son Bertie when the woman's toddler kicked his ball in their direction. They swapped pleasantries and the mother remarked that they didn't want to miss a minute with their children as they grew up so fast. The well-meant and innocent comment brought it home to the young couple with renewed vigour that their own son would grow up without his mother and having a different life to the one that they had planned for him.


 * The actress's own youngest son appeared as the toddler son of the mum in the episode.
