View Full Version : Joey & Lauren - Forbidden Love
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/271332/It-s-forbidden-lust-for-babe-Lauren-Branning-in-EastEnders/
TROUBLED EastEnders babe Lauren Branning will fall in love with her cousin Joey in a gripping new storyline this autumn.
Gorgeous Lauren, played by Jacqueline Jossa, 19, and hunky Joey will grow even closer over the next few weeks before the pair realise their feelings for each other go a lot deeper than just cousins.
And as Lauren struggles to come to terms with all the naughty thoughts she’s having for Uncle Derek’s son, the chemistry between the pair will reach boiling point.
Viewers of the hit BBC1 soap will have to wait to see if things between them turn physical but the temptation will be there for them both.
There’s also the matter of Lauren’s parents Max and Tanya finding out what’s going on, along with Joey’s twisted dad Derek.
There’s no way any of them are going to allow the loved-up pair anywhere near each other once they discover their forbidden love.
An EastEnders insider said: “This is going to be a huge storyline across the autumn.
“Lauren hits the booze and shows her vulnerable side to Joey. He’s there for her and feels very protective.
“The more time they spend together the more they start to realise their feelings for each other are not just that of cousins.
“It’s a powerful force and the attraction is so strong between them that it’s going to take something huge to stop them jumping into bed.”
Finally its going to happen........ i think we all kinda knew it would, it was subtle but hints were there
Most of us have seen it from the start..... i have said also this from the start coz i had this feeling since Joey's first episode and now in some of their other scenes.... that EE have been planting hints here and there and i always kinda hoped it was leading that way........
And also thought if EE ever do this....... it could work, esp if it was more emotionally done then just being physical attraction - its the forbidden that makes it exciting and intriguing, and wanting more

EastEnders fans can expect more turmoil for the Branning family later this year as Lauren and Joey are at the centre of a horrifying car crash.
Cast and crew started work on the dramatic scenes last night (September 10), and it is thought that the on-location filming will continue throughout the week.
Firm storyline details are currently being kept under wraps, but the Daily Mail reports that viewers will see a joyride go horribly wrong after Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) steals her uncle Derek's car.
With Joey (David Witts) joining his cousin for the trip, both of their lives could be left hanging in the balance when Lauren loses control of the vehicle and smashes it into the front window of a shop.
Filming has been taking place in Keynsham, Somerset. Some local newspaper reports have suggested that the scenes will climax with a fireball stunt, but this remains unconfirmed.
Digital Spy understands that EastEnders will air the storyline in November, providing one of the show's biggest moments of the year.
A Walford insider commented: "Everyone is really excited about these scenes. It's going to be a huge storyline for us in a few weeks' time, so it's definitely one for the fans to watch out for."
News of Lauren and Joey's terrible accident follows recent tabloid reports suggesting that the pair could develop romantic feelings towards each other within the next few weeks.
This is a dramatic first look at the huge explosion ahead on EastEnders, as a joyride for Lauren and Joey Branning goes horribly wrong.
The soap's cast and crew filmed the biggest scenes of the year so far on Friday night (September 14), for a storyline which sees Lauren and Joey's reckless actions end in disaster.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that a future storyline will see the Walford cousins crash into the front window of a shop after stealing Derek's car.
The terrifying accident leads to a massive fireball stunt, which could leave lives hanging in the balance.

While firm storyline details have yet to be confirmed, it's known that Derek arrives on the scene to pull Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and Joey (David Witts) from the wreckage of the vehicle.
However, just when it seems that Derek has got the pair to safety, the force of a massive explosion puts them all in further danger - as seen in our newly-released pictures.

Filming has been taking place in Keynsham, Somerset over the past week.
As Digital Spy confirmed a few days ago, the scenes in question will air in November.

And with Lauren about to experience love for the first time after falling head over heels for her good-looking cousin Joey, she’s set to once again go off the rails – with explosive consequences.
Jacqueline said: “Obviously I can’t relate to liking my cousin. But the thing that I’m holding on to is that they haven’t been brought up together as cousins. They’ve *really only just met.
“So I kind of feel that it’s not that weird that they’re cousins – and it can be **justified. He’s good-looking as well. And as we all know, Lauren’s a bit of a weirdo. She loves it really, she’s like ‘this could really piss off my dad’.
“It’s not her biggest motivation, though, as she really does fall for Joey.”

Wasnt Lauren in love with Ryan and Peter also
Peter was a childhood thing lol, Ryan was just to spite her parents and so immature, coz she was acting out lol
'EastEnders' David Witts: 'Explosion is just what Joey needed'
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/news/a409167/eastenders-david-witts-explosion-is-just-what-joey-needed.html
"I think to be quite honest with you, Joey needed that to just slap him around the face. He's been a right git for so long, winding people up, playing around with girls and I think he really needed something to shock him, to show that he does have a vulnerable side."
Witts also praised Jaqueline Jossa - who plays his on-screen cousin Lauren - for her involvement in the explosive scenes.
"She's really great and she's good to work with as well," he said. "She knows her stuff and it's been really enjoyable working with her for the last couple of months, building up the relationship that we're about to have on screen."
'EastEnders' David Witts talks Joey, Lauren plot: 'It's love'
Witts has now told Inside Soap that the bond between the pair could become very serious.
He commented: "Joey's very much under the impression that girls are lucky to be with him. He doesn't really give them much respect.
"But with Lauren, there are real feelings. For the first time in his life, he falls in love with someone - but it's a girl who's forbidden. That's karma for you!"

Coming up on EastEnders, Joey and Lauren's romance storyline kicks off properly as they share a kiss.
The pair's chemistry comes to a head shortly after Joey (David Witts) has ended his relationship with Lucy, which leads to him moving into the Branning house after packing his bags at the Beale residence.
Later that day, Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) is feeling depressed with her life, so she heads to the R&R to drown her sorrows. As Lauren knocks back the booze, a protective Joey watches her like a hawk the whole night.
When Joey sees some boys get too close to Lauren at the club, he immediately throws them out and walks his drunken cousin home.
Offering some advice as they arrive back, Joey suggests that Lauren should change her life if she is so unhappy and even offers to move out, explaining that he doesn't want to be another thing that Lauren runs away from.
As the pair look at each other, there is a clear attraction between them and Lauren moves in for a kiss…

EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, November 1 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
EastEnders star David Witts has said that his character Joey Branning will find life "really hard" after he is forced to dump his cousin Lauren.
The pair have recently fallen for each other, but Joey calls the romance off next week after being blackmailed by his interfering dad Derek (Jamie Foreman).
After a drunken Lauren causes a huge car accident while running away with Joey in upcoming episodes, Derek suggests that the only way she can avoid a prison sentence is by claiming that sober Joey was the driver.
Joey goes along with the deception to help Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa), but is horrified when Derek later threatens to tell the police the truth unless he gets his own way.
Witts told Soaplife: "Joey must either move in with Derek and be a respectful and loving son, or dump Lauren. If Joey takes either of those options, Derek won't tell the police that Lauren was driving the car.
"Joey's love for Lauren is massive, but not quite as massive as his hatred for Derek. He decides to become the villain and lie that he never loved her. He'll take the flack because that will make it easier for her to move on without him."
He continued: "It will be really hard as he has to keep making out to Lauren that he's not interested. She keeps trying to contact him but he doesn't return her calls."
Witts insisted that Joey would be making a mistake if he told Lauren the truth about Derek's blackmail.
He explained: "She's very headstrong and she'd say that she doesn't care about getting into trouble with the law. It would all end in tears. Everyone would find out as Lauren's the sort of person who'd blurt everything out, and it would cause even more of a mess. Joey very much thinks he's doing the right thing."
EastEnders continues tomorrow (November 22) at 7.30pm on BBC One.

maybe its like all films or modern stories can ultimately be traced back to a Shakespear play?
all soap storylines can be ultimately traced back to something that happend in say....'crossroads'??
(thats the oldest soap I could think of.....

Brookside had a brother and sister in a relationship who knew they will siblings they grew up even together :sick:
If there is a possibility that Derek could be Lauren's real father wouldnt Tanya be more angry and sick at knowing about them as a couple she seemed calm imo
turns out lauren is dereks daughter so now joey and lauren will be brother and sister .....from inside soap
My mom actually said this to me ages ago after she heard some rumor on her facebook about this.. I googled it curious as you do and it's coming across as a rumor at the moment. Personally hoping it isn't true and I think it isn't either. If Derek raped Tanya she wouldn't just be shocked like she was with the idea of Joey and Lauren being in love but horrified and would have reacted differently I think than she did in the episode who knows but like I said I hope it isn't true at all.
In relation to this Lauren and Joey thing is it weird I think they were cute?! Don't judge but I don't know why.. then when he had no choice but to break things off and lie it was so obvious how it was tearing him up inside doing that and then the next day not being with her but sneaking around to see her one last time being he 'leaves' unaware Tanya is watching the scene and she herself sees perhaps they do love each other..
Weirdly hoping it works out!

I have been thinking along the same thing U have Voodoo,,, cos Max is sort of a red head and Abi is a blonde like Tanya... but what about Oscar have not seen the invisable child in a long time.... always seems to be left alone when every one leaves the house,, no one ever says any thing about who is watching Oscar when Tanya and Max scamper off and Abi is off all loved up with Jay LOL so hmmmm yea maybe Derek is indeed Lauren's daddy,, but wouldnt Tanya be a bit concerned ?????????????????????????

Oscar is rather blonde too. Max looked like both Bradley and Jim and Carol fits with them too. Jack doesn't look too similar to the rest of them, but Derek really sticks out - he's short, stocky with dark hair and those really dark eyes, nothing like the rest of them! Amusingly, the old Lauren looked a bit like Max while the newish Lauren looks way more like Derek!
