Lauren Branning Returns Home to Walford

After being away from Walford for over a year, Lauren Branning is finally coming home. But her return brings with it a shocking revelation about fellow EastEnders icon Linda Carter.

Linda's Vulnerable Position

Christmas has left Linda Carter, the landlady of The Queen Vic, in a vulnerable position. She stabbed Keanu Taylor to death in order to protect her friend Sharon Watts. Now, Linda is struggling to keep her dark secret and has turned to alcohol to cope.

Linda's Other Huge Secret

While Linda is dealing with the aftermath of the murder, she is also hiding another massive secret - the truth about her baby daughter Annie. As Lauren Branning returns to Albert Square, the secrecy surrounding Annie begins to unravel.

Lauren's Shocking Discovery

When Lauren Branning arrives back in Albert Square, she is desperate to be reunited with her son Louie. However, she soon learns that Peter Beale knew a secret about her cousin Penny and didn't tell her. This revelation leads Lauren to question what else she doesn't know.

The Truth about Annie

Max Branning's Return?

Many fans have been hoping for Max Branning's return to the Square. Could the news of Annie's paternity be enough to convince him to give life in Walford another try? And what kind of grief will Linda face as her secrets come to light?
