EastEnders is no stranger to messy love triangles, but a new romance could be on the cards to tear a major relationship apart for good. Well, for now Peter and Lauren are trying to play happy families.
However, a fresh pairing between Peter and Chelsea Fox has caught everyone’s attention. Lauren is already distracted by a serious case of lust for Mark. Hence, a potential shake-up is heading for the Beales. Keep scrolling to see if a new couple is about to rise.
Fans Root For Sudden New Coupling Between Peter And Chelsea
Viewers of the BBC soap are heavily pushing for Peter and Chelsea to get together. They have pointed out how supportive he was of her while helping to save little Jordan. Hence, many feel Peter would make a great stepfather and finally give Chelsea the true love story she deserves.
In fact, the community strongly agrees that Lauren isn’t actually in love with Mark, but is purely addicted to the danger and chaos. Also, many want Peter to stray first so that Lauren can finally end the relationship and free herself from their boring marriage.
Well, a potential romance between the two would bring some hilarious Walford irony. It’s because fans quickly remembered that Peter and Chelsea were almost step-siblings back when Ian Beale and Denise Fox were dating. However, not everyone is sold on the match.
People have been branding the current version of Peter as a bit of a “wet wipe.” Some feel that the character is constantly outshone by Jacqueline Jossa’s powerful performance as Lauren. Elsewhere, some viewers wanted the writers to axe Peter altogether so that Lauren can finally move on with someone better.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “Seeing how Peter helped save Jordan and how he was with Chelsea…it got me thinking that they would be really cute together. Seeing as Lauren is in love with Mark, Chelsea and Peter would be good.” To which another added, “Lauren doesn’t love Mark, doubt she even likes him. She is only attracted to him.”
Elsewhere, a third wrote, “Yeah, it would be good if Peter cheats first so Lauren can still have a nice relationship with Ian.” Someone else commented, “I hate Lauren and Peter together. He’s such a wet wipe but maybe I would be able to stand him with someone else. I don’t like Lauren a lot of the time, but I do find her tolerable away from Peter.”
Meanwhile, another section of people said, “Lauren doesn’t love Mark; she is just attracted to danger. I don’t want Lauren and Peter to split up tbh, they are the only young stable family on the Square. Penny and Vinny could have been that but we have the Who’s the daddy plot looming sadly. Peter and Chelsea wouldn’t be a bad match on paper, and Peter would be a decent stepfather to Jordan.
Adding further, the person wrote, “I’d like to see Chelsea falling truly in love, the closest thing we got with her when she was with Ravi and we all know how that went. However, Peter will always be in love with Lauren deep down. It’d be funny though, seeing Peter and Chelsea were nearly step-siblings in the mid-2010s when Denise and Ian dated.” Meanwhile, do you want to see Chelsea and Peter together?
