They seem to be trying to frame Denise's decision to give away her baby as some type of feminist or progressive victory, but for women of a certain age, it seems to be saying that once you reach 40 you're no longer fit to be a mother.
Women get enough of this crap from the medical establishment. Now Eastenders is pushing the whole "you're too old to be a mother" narrative.

They appeared to have it in for forty something characters, tonight: Ian fell asleep in the Vic and he very seriously blamed it on getting old...
shareEastEnders is the least ageist show on Earth (not meant positively) I've never liked Denise but her character's motivation for giving away her baby is the delusion she can aspire to be more than what she is which in itself is unrealistic - especially since Denise has no fire or passion whatsoever to thrive in the corporate world.
shareI'm 100% for mature students and second chances, but I'm not sure what a fortysomething is going to do with an English Literature degree.
I love English Lit, but it's hardly a highly in-demand qualification and it's a hard enough struggle to get a decent job with a professional degree from a good university, even if you're under 40.

Maybe she just wants to achieve something (getting a degree/qualifications). I don't think she actually wants a career out of it.
shareOr maybe she just doesn't want the hassle of having to raise another screaming brat all over again, wish she'd just have the guts to say it. I wouldn't blame her at all, if I was to have kids I wouldn't want to have to redo the job all over again several years after my adult kids have flown the nest. Let the woman enjoy her freedom!
and good on her for disowning kim, that's two whiney brats she's free from looking after
I've never had my dick looked at by any woman

If she wasn't on Libby's case begging her not to have an abortion we wouldn't much care.

If she hadn't have been too far gone she more than likely would have aborted it
