EastEnders fans ‘rumble’ affair so devastating it’ll drive Walford icon to leave the square for good
EASTENDERS fans have rumbled an affair storyline that will have devastating consequences.
The long-running BBC One soap recently reintroduced Lauren Branning back to the Square.
She returned with her cousin Penny, who planted drugs on her resulting in her dramatic arrest.
But after being cleared, Lauren and Louie are now settling back into Walford.
And eagle-eyed fans have spotted a potential affair storyline between her and one of Walford’s hunks.
A recent awkward scene aired as Lauren caught Zack Hudson in a towel after a steamy shower.
The interaction caught viewers’ attention as Lauren told Penny how “hot” the chef is.
Following the episode, fans are now convinced the pair will have a passionate romp, which will pave the way for Whitney Dean’s upcoming exit.
Writing on social media, one said: “That was a very suspicious first interaction between Lauren and Zack….could they have an affair?”
A second wrote: “You heard it hear first. Zack & Lauren affair is definitely coming & this be reason Whitney leaves square.”
“Lauren reacting to Zack walking around topless,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “I’m thinking Lauren and Zack gets together when Whitney leaves.”
The Sun on Sunday first revealed Whitney Dean star Shona McGarthy had quit EastEnders after 15 years.
