Members Franko Posted March 17, 2023 Members Share Posted March 17, 2023 Up until recently, I'd never heard of this term. A rainbow baby is the first healthy child after a miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth or neonatal death. Naturally, I've been trying to think of soap examples.

Members Michael Posted March 18, 2023 Members Share Posted March 18, 2023 Ciara on DAYS also felt like one, even though Zach was more of a child than an infant/toddler when he died. But the lore has always had that vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
