“She’s become fixated on her happy ending because she feels she can make up for not being able to look after her brother by looking after and caring for a baby.”
She added: “Kate has completely got her head in the clouds and has not picked up on any reticence from Rana, which is a bit worrying as they are soulmates and you would think she would be sensitive to her feelings.
“But this shows how obsessed Kate is with this plan – for all the wrong reasons.”
Viewers have seen how desperate Kate hatched a strange plan to have a baby with her cousin’s fiancee, Robert Preston, before he pulled out when Michelle decided she might want a baby after all.
