During Tuesday’s episode of Eastenders, Peter Beale and Lauren Branning said goodbye to Albert Square but there’s more to this storyline judging by tweets sent after the show.
Jacqueline (Lauren) tweeted to say she loved working with Peter aka Ben Hardy and that it was “a pleasure” to leave with him.
Ben Hardy then replied to say thanks and also revealed what could be a serious plot spoiler.
loved working with @benhardy0291 was a pleasure to leave with him! @bbceastenders I will miss you!

If the tweets are to be believed then Lauren and Peter are having a son whom Ben referred to as “Pete Junior”.
@jacquelineMjos @bbceastenders Ditto! Miss you. Maybe one day Peter will come back to visit Lauren and Pete Jr (that better be his name)

Ben might just be having a laugh but there also might be some truth in this, either way we can’t wait to see what will happen!
Jacqueline is on maternity leave having recently given birth to baby Ella but will reprise her role as Lauren Branning.
It looks as though Ben or his character at least could also make a return at some stage…
