“Max’s trial will be a very exciting storyline and Lauren’s return will be explosive because she knows Max didn’t kill Lucy,” a source revealed to The Sun. “She agreed not to unmask Bobby as the killer but surely that won’t be at the expense of her own father.” While she is determined to clear her father’s name, her plans for a dramatic comeback go awry when her waters break and she is brought to hospital. She later gives birth to a baby boy called Louie. The popular actress teased her return on Instagram over the last few days and viewers can’t wait to see her back on Albert Square. She also shared an adorable video of baby Ella with the caption: "We are just catching up on some Eastenders, ella loves it [sic]!"
