Lauren begins to confide in those around her in EastEnders
LAUREN Branning will continue with her secret battle in EastEnders as she goes to great lengths to conceal the truth from Peter.
Fans of the BBC soap opera have seen her struggling in recent weeks after getting caught up in the scary nightclub crush.
Having been to the GP to express her struggles, Lauren was told that it was time to reduce her pain medication – much to her horror after becoming reliant on it.
Still experiencing pain, she is left floored when she discovers that she is in fact pregnant as well as struggling with her pain medication.
With the news knocking Lauren for six, she is left dealing with even more heightened emotions.
In upcoming scenes, EastEnders viewers will continue to see her struggle, including a very tense moment with Peter in the cafe.
Later, the pair argue, but Penny intervenes and takes Lauren back to No.27 where she reveals all about her pregnancy.
Amid the shock and turmoil, and having learned more about what is going on with Lauren, Penny agrees to keep quiet and remain by her side.
Continuing to hide her struggles from Peter, Lauren blames her ongoing pain on morning sickness.
Peter later puts his foot in it at McKlunky’s and Lauren heads to the café where she comforts Amy who is also struggling.
The pair head to No.27 for a movie night where they speak to one another about their recent struggles.
As the week in Walford continues, tensions remain high and Peter begins to suspect that there could be more to the story.
With Lauren reluctant to take Louie to school, his mind begins to whirr.
Peter and Anna share a heart-to-heart in the café where he reveals his concerns about Lauren.
Anna gives Peter food for thought, and he later confronts Lauren at No.45 to ask if she is drinking.
