The new storyline on Eastenders is the fact that Heather is pregnant but nobody knows who the father is at this moment in time. We have seen Heather contemplating whether to tell the father, keep it to herself or confide in a friend of the new doctor. While there are a number of clues as to who the father may be, with the favourites being Minty, Gary or even Phil, nobody really knows the secret daddy.
Who do you think is the father of Heathers baby?
Heather is one of those characters who never has any happiness and seems to go from one disaster to another with a smile on her face. Surely now is the time to give her some joy in life, give her some happiness and let her meet the man of her dreams?
Elsewhere, Phil is going from bad to worse as his drinking spirals out of control and he is losing any friends that he ever had. This is probably the worst we have ever seen Phil as he is drinking every day and causing serious upset to his family and close friends.

I think it would be nice if Minty was the dad because out of all the potential dads I think he would be the best one. Thing is how does Heather know who the dad is if she’s been sleeping with all these people and there are that many potential fathers? I hope Heather keeps the baby though as she hasn’t really got much else. I mean Shirley, she acts like she’s there for Heather but her whole motive is to get Phil which she has now through his drinking problems. Heather did have Minty but even he left her, even though she loves him still so for her to have this baby would be for her to have some well deserved happiness.
i think its minty or phil or eddy the dude she meet atthe r&r!
i think its gary
i reckon its gary. seeing as she seemed to look at him in the pub, and when it came to talking to dawn, she was very shifty….mmm suspicious!!
Or maybe, Phil slept with her when he stayed over, thinking it was shirl…..
when she had the letter, she was giving it to one of the group of four stood at the bar:
Ricky
Darren
Minty
Gary
Or maybe Phil, he was behind the bar….. :/ cause it showed her looking at them all. So it must be one of them 5. Hmmm
i think it is minty or it nan be phil
i think it is phill because heather sees phill eveyday and ben wishes that she wanted his mother back i am expecting that , that is givnig us a clue do you think well i think anyway
i bet it is phil but who did heather see in 13 weeks i wounder hmmm …
i think its gary coz him n dawn split up n dawn leves the squere
mayb thats the reason 4 the split
hmm
i think its either:
Gary
Minty
Phil
the one of the three that i think is it is Gary because of *emillie* ’s reason
“Babe;]”, Heather hasn’t slept with all those people, they are just possibilities set up to create dramatic tension for storyline purposes. Heather knows who the father is, she just isn’t revealing it yet.
Emilie - the way she has been looking at people is just what the producers have put in to cause doubt, I don’t think you can take anything from that. However, on the Garry point, since Dawn and Garry are apparently leaving EastEnders, this could be a tie in cause of them going. On that point, I feel that it’s possible that Garry is the dad.
And on your Phil point, I don’t think he was staying there during the period where Heather could’ve got pregnant, although this did cross my mind as well.
Minty is obviously the most likely candidate, since he and Heather do have a past, I just feel that the producers would want to do something more interesting with the storyline than make it so obvious. After all this build up, they don’t want to ruin it the way Corrie people did with their cop out at revealing it was David who wrote the letters from Richard or even when EastEnders killed off Danielle. That remains one of the poorest decisions they have ever made.
I think the father to heathers baby is Darren. Would be nice if it was minty as they make a nice couple.
im nt being funny but i think its gary coz they were both drunk and if u member themto gowell drunk and she stayed round hmmmmmmmm i wounder i wounders
Jim’s ..
xx
I think the father is not gary or darran or ricky. I think it maybe billy or minty because she kissed billy once in the bar so it may be him. My other suscesion is minty because he married heather so he proply will be the real father.
HEATHER’S BABY SHOULD BE NASTY NICK’S
hmm but then last week darren said to ricky he’s not ready for kids completely unnesesarily and when he came in the minute mart she looked at him funny i reckon its him
Well then, i seriously think the father of Heather’s baby is Callum - unbelievable isnt it as he was staying where heather lived and the Bunch.
It cant be Phil coz he dislikes her, it cant be Minty coz he’s not attracted to her and it cant be Garry coz Dawn likes him vice versa. No way it’s Darren coz he likes Squiggle (Libby).
This also explains why Callum left the square. That night when Hev was in the club in the toilets, George Michael lid slid under the door and the hand of that person was thin no offence - would be surprised if it was George Michael lol.
This is my guess….

This is my guess….
Its gary!! Because when they both got really drunk that night they slept together cos he felt sorry for her!!!!
If its not i will be highly shocked it cant be anyone else’s lets face it.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm im not relly shore
what do you think
eastenders haver you gonner be ok cuse ive got a freand who had a babby and its cute i toke it out for a woack so your gonner be ok
trust me just have a freand.
I know who’s the father of Heather’s baby…….Brace urselves it’s…………… D A R R E N
Heather headed to The vic where Phil works with the letter.. Ben then said to Heather he wishes Phil wasn’t his dad coz he’s always drunk and Ben would be better of without Phil.
Then Heather leaves and burns the letter. So I think Phil’s the daddy.
Plus I was in a shop the last a couple of weeks ago and heard someone say they had heard Phil was the father.
I think that the baby has to be mintys. I think minty rejects heather, and gary and minty argue. Gary loosing his best mate decides to look for a new life elsewhere. I also think that he and dawn do not get together!
i think shirley’s the father lmaooo!
It’s Nick Cotton.
I don’t think it is Darren I think that the scene where he is speaking about having kids is there to lead viewers down the garden path. I think it is either phil or gary. I don’t think it is the guy she met in the club because why would she be taking the letter in the Vic and looking at the guys. Could have been phil but Phil hadn’t hit the bottle again until after then.
That’s it …I think it’s Gary. He felt sorry for her and had one to many but we all know he is leaving and I don’t think he would leave his child to run after Dawn ….would he!!! haha
I think that the dad is Darren
At the club it was a thin/ skinny hand that put the lid through the bottom of the door and in the Minute Mart and the pub Darren keeps looking over at Heather looking all worried and that. So i think Darren is the dad.
“essex_angel” has a point that did happen but i think its just a ploy to make us think its Phil when it will be someone completely unexcepted like Darren.
xx
I think its a possiblity that Phil is that dad, maybe this will explain why Heather has gone all funny around Shirley at the minute and maybe thats the reason Heather has decided to move out from Shirleys flat, NOT because of the drinking like everyone is thinking
xx
i guess patrick’s is going to have twice the amount of biscuits and cakes now that there is going to be two of them lol…
I hear it’s Phil but that is so far fetched!
1 No clues in past episodes
2 Heather’s character is a faithful one and she would never do that to Shirley.
Who is the best choice? Well, for sure it’s Gary.
1 He wants a child.
2 His relationship with Dawn is not right.
3 I could see him falling for her as a new mum (many men really fall for their baby mother) and I could see them being a nice, settled down family.
4 Then Minty could realise that he loves Heather anyway and tries to come between her and Garry.
Oh what a good story line, can I have a job?????
i read that on digital spy that gary opens a brown envelope thinking its dawns modelling photos, but is shocked to find somethng else. wonder what it could be….
LOL i dont know it might be minty (because they went o honey moon and got married)
but i if its mintys lol i dont thing minty wud
be tht happy .. lol
wht u you think?
wht happened to daniell was soooo sad
and ….
wht happened to grant mitchell?
It should be Minty, he would make a great Dad and secretly his always loved Heather, but ashamed to admit his in love!
too much yoghurt probably wind
I THINK ITS THE FELLA SHE MET AT THE NIGHT CLUB. BUT I HOPE THEY WONT DRAG IT ON WE R SICK OF WAITING.
us aussie chicks fink dat da fartha is ian or christain
i reckon its shirley
I think it’s Darren. He gave her back her lucky yoghurt pot lid in r&r’s that nite!
I believe the farther is Phil in a druken night and he has not rememberd, Can you remember when heather left her flat because phil was there i think this was to get away from the situation
I think that the farther could be minty or possibly phil
I think it is Darren, becasue in one Episode, in the mini-mart she was giving Darren those eyes :S, and when Ricky mensioned somthing about pubity she gave him another eye could this be ?
Oh please don’t tell me it’s Nick Cotton!!!!!!!
Patrick.
it is Garry i work for eastenders and the dad is garry… well ma uncle writes eastenders and he says it is garry because him and dawn are leaving and if it is Minty mite realise he really loves heather after all
Its Phils. He went in Shirley and Heathers flat looking for Shirley, drunk as a skunk, and jumped in bed with Heather.
And why would it be Darren. When have they ever had any interaction sexually?
ok now im totally confused!!!! im thinking not minty possibly gary or phil dont think darren -i hope not anyway! no i reckin its gary or phil!
I def think its Phils. The night Phil stayed over at Heather and Shirleys - he was really odd with Shirley in the morning and left the house really quickly. Later that day he had a really big go at Heather, telling her she was awful, ugly, etc… I think its cos he slept with her and back tracked by being nasty to her. If it was anyone else’s baby, I think she would have told Shirly… but obviously if its Phils…. she cant…
Heather’s baby is Minty’s. It have ot away with how upset that she gt over the anulment and then after it was annouced in the pub very cruely that is when she contemplated having an abortion hence Minty lol.
I think it’s Darren. The clues are there:
- Darren giving Heather the lid, this is pretty much certainly the night she got pregnant.
- Darren randomly saying he doesn’t want kids
- Darren saying to Denise that not all men are bad.
- Darren one of the four in the pub
- I think there was one other exchange outside the taxi office as well.
Eastenders is always the same, whenever you get a bit of random interaction you just know they are setting something up. Main reason I watch it is to pick on these things and see if I’m right…
its billys baby, im 95% sure of it
I think its Phil’s!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow well i’ve read every single post here and it seems like you all think its phil or gary..
I don’t think it’s any of them though, SINCE WHEN HAVE EASTENDERS HAD A HUGEEEE BUILD UP TO THE OBVIOUS? Never. so it’s obviously like nick cotton. Cmon guys they wouldnt make it plain as day to you with such a huge build up.x
hilarryyyyyxxx
Heeeey
I think it is Phil’s. Last night on Eastenders she shouted out to the pub that it wasn’t Minty’s and I reckon if it was Minty’s baby she wouldn’t have been so adament that it wasn’t, she would’ve just run out of the pub or something. Also, I think she would’ve told Shirley the truth but if it is Phil’s obviously she wouldn’t because Shirley loves him and it would ruin their friendship. Hm, we could be suprised though
I can’t wait to find out! x
i think the dad is ken barlow
Everyone suspects that the baby is Minty’s, but it cud be Phil’s i was thinkin if she might be carrying a “Mitchell” baby??? Im not sure Gary whud sleep wiv her, she noes dat he is wiv dawn, and she is a nice person and not a backstabbin b****
HOW CAN IT BE DARRAN’S, RICKY’S, OR ANYONES ELSE’S???? That will be sucha big twist in the storyline.
the best way to find out is to retrace back to the night she found her “yogurt pod lid” and think were all the possible characters were that night
MAN IM GOOD
DETECTIVE IN THE MAKING LOL =D
mmmmm detective work!!!!
Darren, ure avvin a laff there!
Minty and even Phil too obvious.
Yog top man is the dad i reckon, who is also is that new doc guy, (not the new handsome one btw) the one that did the scan (george clooney’s 2nd biggest fan)
Eastenders does not give away big speaking parts easily, they’re developing his character for some reason, although that may just be as her new love interest.
..but bugger it im going out on a limb and saying he’s the father. Go me!
i fink its vinnie cause shirly was with him 4 a while
and he wanted shirl 2 come on what he called a long trip thats why he int in it anymore but she said got 2
look after heather and i read in a tv mag that vinnie was coming back to walford and i was really confused cause at the ,moment he aint invovled in any ender storylines or if not its callum his son cause he would not tell stacey why he was going he just randomley left
i think it is billy cos on valintines nite h went in to the bathroom
i am thinking that male escort that shirley hired for heather
i think it is phil as she might of got in bed with phil then dont want to tell shirley as she will be mad as shirley still likes phil.
phil
patrick phil minty or someone else
i think its the guy she had the blind date with
Fat Elvis is the father!
ITS DARREN!
Totally agree it is Darren. I have even placed a £5 bet on it!
NOTE : after the Marriage heather stated she never slept with Minty .
i think the father could be an ex-eastender (with some returning like sam) so i think ricky .
the father of heathers baby is the guy from the party they had at scarlets night club the real 1 not the one that shirly paid for to set heather up on her birthday to make her feel good about herself.
Wake up the baby is george Michaels Heather will be rich
i think it is
:garry
:phill
:minty
:darren
:christian
:archie
:dr al jenkins
the father of the baby is patrick
he was on the rebound when he divorced yolande
and they had a quickie in the shop
the father of the baby is nick coz he was with heather one night nd she ran out gasping for air not coz he knocked d inhaler becoz they two of them got frisky
i think they should find out soon i rekon its minty i dont know
someone told me it is darren libbies boyfriend but how,when i dont know if they r lieing cause she never id it with minty gary or phil
nick cotton 99.9%
Looooooool xx that wud be so jokez if it was darren looool xx
nahh i think it was phills lol xxx
only person whos poping into ma hed atmmm x
he was drunk and allways round shirleys and he cudav jus climbed into bed wid her without noticin lol xxx twatt x
buh x yeh its also tru init xx eastenders allways has a twist , such a shame it takes half a year to expose it
x
Eastenders is known for doing things un-expected i think it just could be darren.
Well, I’m glad all of you are trying to find out who got me pregnant…well here goes….drum roll please….its……………………………………………………………………….. IAN
Well Jane wants kids but I’m having Ian’s child…what will she do…kidnap my baby??umm? murder Ian??? have a drunken lesbian nite with Tanya..ummm…how mad will she be when she finds out… I’ve been looking after bobby…my childs half brother.
Well, I’m pregnant and nothing Ian or Jane can do about it.
Its not Phil, Minty, Darren, Ricky, Gary.
i think darren is the father of heathers’ baby
you lot are all wrong its darren dont you watch your soaps properly there are so many clues its him
I reaken the dad is phil or minty but who knows! ha ha
ALSO NICK COTTON WILL RETURN AND KILL THE BABY
dr legg you made my day with that comment!
Its Phil’s
i think its phil that why heather won’t tell anyone because she’s afraid shirley might find out and so she is tryingggg to make it look like she want shirley out the flat because of the drinking when it has nothing to do with thatttt !!
I think its JACK yes JACK BRANNING we just have to wait and see
its JIM’S definately ! no joke!

JIM is the fatherr!
its shirley!!! She has to be a man
i think it’s billy,phil,eddie or someone else
I think the father of heather’s BABY Boy is…DRUM ROLL Please…………………………………………………………………..IAN
I think the father of heather’s BABY Boy is IAN
And I am RIGHT PLEASE SAY I AM
i think its phill cuz,
shes good with ben.
he is always nasty to her.
and it wud cause trouble between her & shirly for the story linee
its so obvious…it’s TAMWAR
hello people i have read all your coments some made me laugth, but personally i think that its darrens baby, or someone who they havent pointed out to us, which in that case we can all be here guessing forever lol and ” (The person who calls themselfs)Heather From Eastenders” It cant be ians cos we recently found out he can no longer have children he secretly had the op, any keep guessing everyone and take care, Hazel -x-x-x-x-x-
100% i fink heathers baby is darrens there has bin so many clues n i always buy next weeks tv mag heather has her baby this wk cumin n looked in tv mag couple weeks ahead n says darren n libby get engaged but does libby no everyfin bout darren! so il put money on it baby is darrens!! n this week cumin heather gives birth patrick is wiv her n she leaves the babys dad a msg on phone n babys dad turns up at hospital so not much longer 2 find out i cant w8 lol bt is def darrens baby
information to everyone who has posted the real father of the baby is darren!!!
thank you
I’m really not sure who the dad is. It could be Darren as Eastenders is all about break ups and deaths. Darren might break up with Libby for this and thats why there are rumours that Libby is leaving Walford for good…
It also could be Phil as Shirley is just starting to get close to him again and that’s wy Heather didn’t want to tell Shirley who the dad was…
My lasy option is Minty as he makes the best dad of all. Adam hates him and he doesn’t suit Manda, the relationship was never going to last anyway…
its billy
i hope it’s darrens, it would be quality telly.
(:
i thinkk the dad is billy!!
i think it could be darren
because darren has proposed to lizzy and he is hiding something 2
…..The dad has to be Minty….They gave us all options bt i really dont memeber her sleeping with Billy and i really dont think its Darren….coz i read next weeks episode and it doesnt mention anything bout his secret being out!!! So its between Minty and phill bt then a gen i watched a little clip of fridays and if it was phill i thnk shirley wud be kicking off !!! so its Minty for sure!!!
i put a bet on for my life its darren miller
find out tonight
Hi,
I think the father us phil and it happened when phil had a drinking problem and couldn’t remember a thing.
He was also staying at her flat when he got kicked out!
It him, he is the daddy!
its darren……heather keeps saying the dad is a business man, also darren has proposed to libby…guilty concience if you ask me
No way.
It cant be Phil because he was with shirley and he dislikes heather anyway.
Can’t be minty as they annulled their marriage.
Cant be Gary as he is completely besotted by dawn, and the fact that darren could be the father is ridiculous.
To be honest i think it is Callums. If you remmeber in R&R’s that time when heather had the lid of the yoghurt from george michael? Think about it
If it’s Darren. Eww.
Seriously. Double eww.
Plus, he and Libby are so cute together.
I hope it’s Minty. They’d be so sweet. I think it’d be nice if Heather had some happiness for once.
the father,
to heathers baby..
is shirley hahahahahaahah
arthur fowler (the late) XD
Its Patricks….. ive got inside info!!
nick cotton is on his way back to the square
THIS IS A FACT, WE HAVE GOT THIS DIRECTLY FROM EASTENDERS, THE FATHER OF HEATHERS BABY IS DOT BRANNING! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE CLUES, SHE IS A MAN…! SHOCKING, ISNT IT
it cant be darren i think its phill or minty but am not sure
i hope its not darren coz its a nice storyline him and libby, it would be nicee if it was minty’s but i doubt it because it says he runs of and minty isnt really like that, maybee phil. have to wait and see
x
i think the dad is billy because heather kissed him one time and they have been talking so much and i think theres a connection
i think the bsabies dad is the man at r+r on valinstins day
the baby’s dad is the man at r+r on vainstisns day 2009
patrick
i think its Patrick’s lol
i reckon its the doctor
i think it is billyyy!!!
or phill
but i think there is a chance it could be jackk?
Its BILLY !!!!!!
I think it is minty because she had and affair with him a couple of weeks after.
who do u think the daddy is everyone, please let me know asap thanks
i think billy
i dont get it, darren walked in then said look george theres your daddy
