Troubled teenager Lauren Branning causes a splash after being hauled home from school by her mum Tanya.

Lauren (Madeline Duggan, 13) starts going off the rails as her mum and dad, Max, engage in a bitter divorce battle.

And when Tanya (Jo Joyner, 29) tries to talk to Lauren about the problem, she throws it back in her face - along with her glass of water.

The Branning family was shattered after Max (Jake Wood, 34) was exposed for bedding his daughter-in-law Stacey (Lacey Turner) in a Christmas Day episode watched by 14million viewers.

An insider on the BBC soap said: "Lauren has always been such a good kid, but with the family breaking down her anger starts coming out.

"The school call to ask Tanya to come and sort it out, but Lauren isn't having any of it."

I have seen some episodes this week and it's so cheesy, the drama is so funny: the ginger guy and his wife, the 2 old persons and the blond one with her daughters.
It's more something funny than serious, well for me.

Veteran entertainer Lionel Blair has been lined up for a role in EastEnders, say reports.

The Give Us A Clue star could appear as the father of Ronnie (Samantha Janus) and Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), claims The Sun.

He commented: "There's been some talk about me going into EastEnders as Ronnie and Roxy's dad.

"I would love that. It would also be great to link up with my great friend Babs Windsor."

Blair made a guest appearance in Emmerdale earlier this year.

Samantha Janus claimed in 2007 that she would like Ray Winstone, Terence Stamp or Malcolm McDowell to play the role of Archie Mitchell.

A show spokesperson said: "There are no current plans for Lionel to join the show."

Lionel Blair is soooooooooooo boring can't stand the way he speaks.

Inside Soap Shirley Spoiler
[spoil]Shirley's Hidden Trauma

There's a major heartache ahead for Albert Squares barmaid Shirley Carter, as she suffers her biggest crisis yet.
It's been a hideous year so far for the spiky blonde, who watched ex-husband Kevin Wicks die, before children Carly and Deano walked out of her life for good. However, there's further tragedy to come, leaving poor Shirley unable to confide in anyone.
"Life has always been hard for her, but this is the worst," whispers our Walford mole. "Shirley's going to have to face up to things that no one ever wants to deal with. And even her best mate, Heather Trott, won't be able to offer her the support she needs."
EastEnders is keeping the details of Shirley's problem top secret, but it seems it could be life-threatening...[/spoil]

I love the Beales. They're my favourite EE family now.

[Callum]

I 'reckon the Beales will be the most talked about EE family in 2008.

EDIT: But does anyone think they should do more with peter and stephen? Peter is hardly ever involved in big storylines, and as for stephen, he was great at first but we hardly ever see him anymore.
