EastEnders teases explosive New Year episode – as Lauren Branning is seen in Paris
The drama unfolds, as Tanya Branning confronts both Lauren and Penny for their mischievous schemes in France
EASTENDERS fans are in for a shock when Laura Branning returns to screens on New Year.
Get ready for some serious drama in the BBC soap as a familiar face makes a fiery comeback this festive season.
Jacqueline Jossa is making a grand return as Lauren Branning this holiday season, and we’re in for a treat.
The character made her first appearance on 3 July 2006 and her last on 22 June 2023.
But now it’s time to see her in action again, with some exciting scenes set in Paris, France, airing on New Year’s Day, at 7:30 pm.
The last time fans saw Lauren, was earlier this year, and things got pretty intense as she almost rekindled her romance with her first love, Peter Beale (played by Thomas Law).
But after finding out that Peter’s mother Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) was secretly alive, Lauren decided to leave Walford.
In the trailer, after the events of the evening in Paris, Lauren and her cousin Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) decide to return to Walford.
The drama unfolds, as Tanya Branning confronts both Lauren and Penny for their mischievous schemes in France.
Tanya fears that Lauren is treading a dangerous path, one that could lead her down the same troubled road as her sister.
The episode is going to be explosive, and it’s not long until it airs.
After fifteen long years of absence from Albert Square, Penny is making a huge come back.
Penny was last physically seen in the Square in 2008, while she was struggling to warm up to the copper’s then-girlfriend Ronnie Mitchell.
