Steven Beale's scheming takes yet another twist on EastEnders later this month as he proposes to his girlfriend Lauren Branning.
Fans are still reeling after Steven (Aaron Sidwell) lied that he has a brain tumour in a desperate attempt to stop Lauren from leaving him.
As Steven's deception continues over the next few days, a guilty Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) feels obliged to stand by him even though the romantic spark between them has clearly fizzled out.
As Steven is paranoid that Lauren could still leave him, he makes another unexpected move by publicly proposing to her at the Queen Vic.
With her friends and family all watching on, will Lauren agree to marry Steven, or is this a step too far?
