The pair have now hinted that it could be around Christmas when Dawn gives birth - if everything goes to plan.
Speaking about the storyline, Olivia Bromley said: "I think it’ll be quite a meaty storyline as well. I think there’s a lot of twists and turns and it’ll be good for us as actors to play that."
Jay added: "He’s doing a great job. It’s unrealistic how good a job he’s doing, it’s like someone’s constantly watching him. It’s not that easy, I swear to god. My kids are intelligent, really good kids but they stress me out.
"He’s got a good tolerance level. I have to take a leaf out of Billy’s book."
Olivia admitted she has been doing her research on how best to play a pregnant woman and has been relying on One Born Every Minute to help her prepare for the upcoming birth scenes, which are expected to happen around Christmas.
She said: "I was quite enthusiastic honestly. I just think it’s a really nice change in dynamic for Dawn, I think just for the two of them. But as an actor, it’s gonna be quite interesting because I haven’t had a baby myself so I need to do all those things involved in it".
