EastEnders fans 'rumble Lauren's agenda' with Zack amid Whitney 'split'
EastEnders viewers think they know Lauren Branning's plan, after she appeared to encourage Zack Hudson to call things off with Whitney Dean.
Amid Zack and pregnant Whitney's relationship hitting the rocks after her hopes to care for teen Britney, he confided in her best pal Lauren this week. But things took a turn when Zack misread the signals and tried to kiss Lauren, leaving her furious.
Lauren vowed to tell Whitney the truth despite Zack begging her to stay silent, only for his flirting with a customer to leave him in hot water once more. As Lauren ended up agreeing to not say anything, she gave Zack food for thought when they had a heart-to-heart over Whitney.
Zack vowed never to act out again, saying he loved Whitney and wanted to make things work. But Lauren shared her concerns that it was all going to end in tears for the pair, and that they were possibly bonded by grief and not actually in love with each other.

Since then the couple have seemed on track, until a recent visit to Milton Keynes led to Zack returning to Walford without his partner despite her being pregnant, and having had a car accident. Her desperation to help teen Britney after some trouble left her and Zack rowing.
It was after this that Zack made a pass at Lauren, leaving her disgusted and threatening to expose him. During their later chat, Lauren advised him and Whitney to figure out if their relationship and caring for Britney was what they really wanted.
