Rainie Highway (played by Tanya Franks) felt sad after visiting a fertility clinic, but her grief turned into optimism when Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) suggested that they investigate whether surrogacy could be beneficial to them The Undertaker thought Tiffany’s Butcher (Macy Smith) would be the perfect choice, but East End fans discovered a huge hole in the story
On the double bill tonight, Rennie and Stuart asked Tiffany to be their replacement, but Keegan Baker (Zach Morris) had his reservations
However, Tiffany has made it clear that she wants to use the £ 10,000 to invest in her future with Keegan.
Tiffany explained: “I say we treat it as a job.” “They have had their baby, and we get our money we can stick it in the store and get more business we can really take this to the next level”
After telling the intended parents the good news, Stewart exclaims: « We are going to have a beautiful baby, all four of us together »
Although Tiffany was happy to help Rainie and Stuart for a fee, fans have indicated that this exchange is illegal
The law states that it is illegal to pay someone to act as your surrogate, and intending parents are expected to cover the expenses only
Intended parents must obtain a parental order from the family court to become the legal owner of their child
As part of this process, the Family Court checks that no more than « reasonable expenses » have been paid
Other viewers have indicated that Tiffany’s age may prevent her from being a substitute for Renny and Stewart
Alternative charities in the UK require that a surrogate be 21 years old and have already fathered a child

Someone said, “The #Eastenders surrogacy story is ridiculous! You have to be 21 years old and have had a baby to be a surrogate, not a 17-year-old teen who has never been pregnant (I know this because I searched it extensively as an option for fertility problems)
« Everything will be on top of the board » Yes, Stuart, you understand that you have to be over 21 to be a substitute and Tiffany is only 17 years old, so you’re not going to be over the board, you’ll be bastard #Eastenders, other post
“Is a 17-year-old allowed to be a surrogate? Will her mother have to sign the contract? A third question
Another person said, “They are offering me $ 10,000 as a replacement.” Isn’t that kind of illegal? #Eastenders «
A fifth said: “Everything will be above the board and intact except that Tiff is four years old and one child is far from legally allowed to forfeit # East
