I agree. The miscarriage itself and aftermath weren't funny, but the entirely obvious setup (and even before the evil lurking soap's close-up, we were fairly convinced she'd lose the baby and it was only a question of when/how and how sensitively they managed that storyline).

I felt the same way about Bates being tripped and falling face down in the gravel. Obviously it's not funny in a HAHA HE DONE FALLED OVER HAHA HE USES A STICK sort of way, but the OTT villainy of the evil!staff and the ever so 'umble nature of the Bates did get self-parodic.
