Tommy and Lily have made efforts to be there for each other.
In EastEnders, cousins Tommy and Lily have been spending time together, as both teens have been facing tough times lately.
Lily is mourning the death of her father, Martin Fowler, following the aftermath of the Vic fire. Meanwhile, Tommy is adjusting to life back at home.
A new fan theory suggests that the two cousins might end up in a romantic relationship.
In EastEnders, cousins Tommy and Lily have been leaning on each other as they both face difficult times in their lives.
Lily is still deeply mourning the loss of her father, Martin Fowler, who tragically died in the aftermath of the Vic fire. His death was caused by being crushed under a piece of metal, leading to crush syndrome.
Meanwhile, Tommy has been adjusting to life back at home after staying with Zack. He’s been seeking solace in conversations with an AI friend called ‘Matt’ on his gaming console, admitting that while he feels embarrassed by it, Matt is the only one who doesn’t judge him.
In an emotional moment on Thursday, March 13, Lily tried calling Tommy, but he didn’t pick up. Feeling alone, she broke down on the couch, clutching a blanket made from her late father’s football shirt.
Lily reassured Tommy that it’s perfectly normal for people to talk to AI, encouraging him not to feel ashamed.
EastEnders fan theory: Could Lily and Tommy’s bond turn romantic?
A new fan theory suggests that the close relationship between Lily and Tommy could take a surprising turn, with the pair potentially evolving from cousins to lovers.
As both characters rely on each other for comfort during their challenging times, some believe an incestuous storyline might be in the works.
The theory says: “Are we heading towards an incestuous cousins storyline? Two lost souls finding each other. The AI plot seemed to be going in a different direction, but maybe it’s just setting the stage for this?”
Another fan mentioned a past incest storyline in the soap, adding, “I thought this Wednesday, especially after Bianca mentioned Joey.”
