Cindy’s devious plotting puts lives at risk.
EastEnders fans are speculating that Cindy could be responsible for Lauren Branning’s death following her latest nefarious move on the soap. In last night’s episode, manipulative Cindy tried to silence Lauren by offering her powerful painkillers.
Lauren had started to suspect Cindy’s involvement in Kojo’s disastrous fall, which left him hospitalized. In an attempt to cover her tracks, Cindy acquired the drugs from Ravi and gave them to Lauren.
Lauren, who has been battling chronic pain from her injuries in the club incident, has been struggling with an increasing addiction to painkillers. Could Cindy’s actions ultimately lead to disaster for Lauren and her baby?
EastEnders fans are predicting that both Lauren and her baby could meet a tragic end.
As the episode aired last night, fans took to social media in shock over Cindy’s latest devious move, with many expressing concern for Lauren and her unborn child’s well-being.
“Lauren Branning DIES after accidentally overdosing on drugs (supplied by Cindy Beale in a sinister attempt to keep her quiet about her affair with Junior Knight?)” speculated one dramatic viewer.
“Cindy is turning Lauren into a drug addict. She’s going to lose that baby,” warned another.
“Is Cindy going to end up killing Lauren and the baby?” asked a third.
“I think Lauren will lose the baby. I hope I’m wrong,” worried a fourth.
Are Lauren and her baby at risk?
Lauren expecting a baby
Last week, Lauren discovered that she was pregnant with Peter’s child. After taking a pregnancy test, she shared the news with a drunk Peter, who immediately forgot and had to be reminded the next day.
Since then, tensions have been rising between Lauren and Peter, with Lauren still grappling with the pain from her injuries in the club crush. Another fan theory suggests that Lauren could be dealing with an ectopic pregnancy, but the events unfolding this week seem to suggest that her storyline is taking a different turn, one heavily influenced by the manipulative Cindy.
