Why do you think he's not the dad? He slept with her in August, four months before the conversation in November. Lauren didn't realise she was that far gone.

I've no idea ,I suppose it doesn't add up for baby to be zacs
It's EastEnders so anything is possible

The writers don't seem to follow the storylines as well as we all do!

I'd love a crack at writing it

Why does the Vic get put up for sale?!?

We don’t know yet!

Odd that the Vic is up for sale unless it’s a board for something else that’s up for sale/ auction. I can’t think what or why it would be on the Vic like that though ?
All very strange

Lauren and Zac didn’t have an affair did they? it was a one off when he was in self destruct mode

No, Lauren and Zac didn’t have an affair that we knew about , but I was only speculating that maybe they did carry on seeing each other off screen ( so to speak!)

We know they slept together once , but might have been more ? Although I know that’s probably unlikely , but might account for why people think he is Zac’s ? Do the dates for their first ONS and this baby add up?
People thought the baby might be Juniors once as well!

I think people mainly think it's Zack's because they forgot how long ago they slept together.

It would make it more interesting and we could focus on lovely Zack instead of watching Pe Ta's single expression. But I don't see it happening sadly!

I like Zac too! His way too young for me ( of course) but I feel we could be mates! I could tell him to stop being a plank most of the time .. he probably wouldn’t listen though lol
He is better than Pe ta

Ben is coming back !
It's stated for a short stint , but with potential to be longer if it works out .

That's brilliant news about Ben ..really bad decision sacking him

I'm not bothered one way or other about Ben. He just got stuck in a loop of doing reckless/criminal stuff and Callum forgiving him. I hope the producer has some good ideas for him but judging by recent events... not optimistic!

Ben was sentenced to 4 years (two years ago) do the USA do early release for good behaviour?

Interesting about Ben coming back I thought I’d read he left because the actor had been misbehaving but could have made that up

You didn't make it up!

But there is now a new producer making the decisions.

There’s still mileage in his character and Max Bowden is a terrific actor so I’m happy Ben is coming back although if he comes back full-time it won’t be for ages as I see he’s touring in a play this autumn.

Yeah I think he’s a great actor. I just hope he’s not horrid to Nigel

I'm glad Ben will be back. Max was a good actor and Ben has always been a great character.
He was sacked for too much partying but seems to have spun it now to say he was burned out from personal problems and working too hard. He says he left by mutual consent!
Good news as that will bring Phil and Jay back into focus too, Callum I'm less pleased about.

I like Ben, but his character was flawed and I can’t see what they will do with him really. Good actor though.
I can’t see him helping his dad with Nigel , maybe he’ll go back to Callum , but they were sometimes up and down.

4 years for credit card fraud 😲 Their prisons much have more space than ours in the UK!

80s I think Callum is 'waiting for him', he has visited once or twice hasn't he?

I read a press story last week that Max B has been doing theatre so hopefully he's sorted himself out.

Ahh, a nice reunion with Callum for Ben would be good. Make some characters happy for a change !

Yes until the next time Ben messes up!!😆

Yeah, Ben isn’t the most reliable is he.
Maybe his met someone in prison , they might show up later with a dodgy US accent and declarations of love!
Ben is bound to show up home in the obligatory black cab too ! Although it sounds as if it’s all a long way off yet
