Lauren Branning

Lauren destroyed the evidence she had that showed Bobby murdered Lucy.

What evidence had she, only a piece of post it paper Summerhayes wrote with Beale address or Jane's mobile number was it?

I think it was the Beale's house number. It was 0207 if I recall and I believe 02 is the area code for London.

I doubt there was anything concrete in Summerhayes' notes anyway. She had pinpointed the scene of the crime as the Beale's house but her determination of the culprit seemed to be based on how Jane acted when she started ask questions and the fact that her car went missing in Fatboy's video. She thought it was Jane when she went to the park and she obviously hadn't written down that it was Bobby, not intending to end up dead. At one point Lauren thought it was Peter, so the only 'evidence' would have been a timeline of Lucy's last known movements, alibis, copies of statements etc. The penny didn't drop until Lauren found the final piece with SoC and some of the numbers on it, so she also can't have written down the thought process in establishing where the murder took place.

She also had Emma's sim card and threw it away with the paper evidence.

EastEnders couple Jane and Ian Beale had better watch out, as the show is welcoming back Lauren Branning for a handful of episodes next month.

The popular character is returning to Albert Square in time for her father Max's murder trial and could hold the key to clearing his name.

Max has been wrongly accused of killing his 20-year-old lover Lucy Beale, but Lauren is among a handful of characters who know that schoolboy Bobby Beale was the real culprit behind his half-sister's demise.

Little is known about Lauren's top-secret scenes at this stage, but it's sure to be a difficult time for her as she has loyalties to the Beales as well as her own family.

Lauren became engaged to Peter Beale before they moved to New Zealand together in February and she was also pregnant with his child when she left.

With Jane and Ian determined to protect Bobby by keeping quiet over his guilt, could Lauren be forced to make a choice between the Beales and the Brannings?

Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren, has already filmed her brief return stint - taking time out from her maternity leave to be part of the unmissable trial episodes.

The 22-year-old actress welcomed the arrival of her first child Ella with her TOWIE star fiancé Dan Osborne in February. A report in The Sun suggests that she won't return permanently until the New Year.

I think it would be beyond the bounds of credulity for yet another person to connive in sending an innocent man down for murder. Even more so in this case. If Lauren doesn't say anything, I think I will throw my boots at the television screen and run out the room screaming.

Can you get your wife to record it on the mobile and post it here if you do??

Is Lauren going to go into labour in the courtroom? A tad unrealistic; she wouldn't be able to fly, would she? And as others have said, she should have been heard from long before now, when she would actually have been able to fly.

[tammyy2j]

I would have thought Lauren would have made Peter call Jane and Ian to help clear Max or else warn she is coming back to get him out by now

I am glad she is coming back though
