EastEnders finally brings Lauren and Peter closer after weeks of pain and separation. But when things are looking up, past secrets, guilty admissions, and a fiery confrontation shatter their momentum. Scroll down to find out more.
EastEnders Hints at Trouble as Cindy Confronts Lauren
Lauren and Peter’s split came as a result of the emotional burden of baby Jimmy’s diagnosis and Lauren’s continued struggle with addiction. While they attempted to reconcile, Lauren again ended the relationship after discovering Peter had privately enquired about custody of the children from Johnny Carter.
This week, Kathy fills the gap between them with an emotional pep talk. Her encouragement inspires the former pair to spend the night together, giving the world a glimpse of reconciliation.
Peter awakens at Number 25 with hope for their future. But at the café, Lauren is emotionally distraught. While Zack Hudson assists her with the boys, she admits being overwhelmingly guilty about kissing him.
Zack trivialises the incident, referring to it as a one-off, and promises her he would not utter a word.
Later in the day, Lauren visits The Albert to stand behind Peter when Cindy’s Pride party takes place. However, her display of solidarity gets derailed when Cindy approaches her head-on. Her warning leaves Lauren and Peter’s fragile reunion hanging by a thread.
Max Branning’s Return with Oscar Recasting
The drama does not stop there. Lauren is in danger of having a significant family reunion. They have already cast the role, so Oscar’s return is officially confirmed. There are rumours that Jake Wood will return around the same time.
Jacqueline Jossa addressed the claims but did not specify what fans may anticipate. However, supporters anticipate a full-scale Branning reunion. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
