I've said it before but I actually think they make a good couple and the scenes between them can be quite sweet. I like Lauren (when she's not having bratty tantrums) and think Jac Jossa portrays her well.

I always get the feeling she's not acting so much as playing an extended version of herself. But loads of soap actors get this accusation, I could be very wrong and it's just Lauren I don't like :P

How is Lauren alive she was told if she had 1 more drink she would die

I think people are taking that a bit too literally. At the time she was drinking heavily and her liver was soaked in alcohol maybe one drink would have finished her off.

Hmm ok maybe I agree there. Only up to a point though, I won't miss either of them for their permanent and temporary departures. They have no chemistry together either.

And the lad who plays Peter has shown when given the material like after Lucys death he can deliver but he's underused a lot these days.

i think her character is very strong and she is a good actor. far more personable and likeable than Bland Beale. he definitely would be nothing without his physical features.

I think both are good actors. Ben Hardy has been given very little to do in his time there. I thought he was brilliant on the aftermath of Lucy's death. He carried a lot of the Beale scenes. Unfortunately they seem to have forgotten about him again the past few months.

I like Lauren, she's by far the most likable Branning. I will say though that I think she's run her course a bit, as have all the Brannings, if we're honest.

I like Stacey, and Lacey Turner playing her, but I think she is overacting in her stint this time which is putting me off a bit. Sorry just had to get that off my chest

Does anyone like the Lauren Branning character? I just feel we're meant to care about her and while I acknowledge there are many reasons for her personality I think her pretty face has a lot to do with things? I also don't rate Jac Jossa's acting at all.

I thought Roxy's baby was Sean Slater's?

Amy's daddy is Jack Branning aka Ronnie's ex husband

Sean Slater thought he was the dad until Jack's sister revealed all to him in the Vic, cant remember her name I think she was with Phil

I know Lauren didn't have time to look at the test but I hope she wiped it before shoving it in Stacey's hand.

Beautiful :pac:

Roxy and Charlie was so predictable but those two have better chemistry with each other than with their partners. Saying that Roxy is making a habit of whatever my sister has I want. The invisible daughters dad was Jack, Ronnies last babies daddy. So glad Roxy isn't my sister ;-)

You're right you know! This is the only reason they put them together imo

Stacey and Lauren will be main players for years to come if they stay on the Square but Lacey Turner has other acting jobs on the table and Jacq Jossa is going out with a reality tv muppet so she could end up broke etc

And, yes, the Carters are far too exposed! Enjoyed the last two episodes with minimal Carter

It seems Stacey has become secret keeper of Eastenders, with the amount of people who keep confiding in her, and people say the Carter Family is over exposed.

yeah, she is becoming a bit of an agony aunt. I thought it was nice with Shabnam but was there any need for her to be Laurens confidant also. Not unrealistic considering their history but i hope she doesnt become one of these go to characters, like a Susan in Neighbours type

And she is still alive, damn doctors lied

The baby absorbed all the alcohol so her liver didn't have to.

The number on the note is a land line. Could still be the Beale's.

If they pull it of the be a brilliant outcome with amazing acting there are people still waiting to crap on in in the media and online.

The fallout from the public could be more entertaining than the actual reveal of the killer.

where did laurens cousin stay when she was sh*gg1ng him! thought he was in b and b?
