One the new soap mags (not sure which one) suggests Lauren will get with Ryan
ASTENDERS star Neil McDermott is to have an affair with a teenage girl in the soap - just like he did in real life.
His character Ryan Malloy will fall for Lauren Branning, 17, and risk the wrath of her protective dad Max.
Love rat Neil, 30, cheated on wife Michelle, 29, by bedding 16-year-old fan Chloe Peebles in a hotel earlier this year.
They met in a nightclub at Stockton-on-Tees just six weeks after Michelle gave birth to the couple's first child.
The new soap storyline was written before Neil's cheating was exposed. But it will cut close to the bone as it sees him embark on a relationship with feisty Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa).
Max (Jake Wood) is furious when he gets wind of the romance between the pair, right, which will develop in the BBC1 soap this summer.
He already holds a grudge against Ryan, estranged husband of Janine (Charlie Brooks), because he fathered his own ex-love Stacey Branning's baby, Lily.
A Walford insider said: "Sparks will fly when Ryan and Lauren begin their relationship. Max is certainly someone not to mess with.
"He's already very protective of his daughters and Ryan isn't exactly favourite person after his relationship with Stacey, who Max will always hold a torch for."
Neil begged for forgiveness after his affair, saying: "I am so sorry to my wife, daughter and our family for this betrayal. I'm distraught that my life is now in tatters due to a stupid mistake."

Already mentioned in the above thread maybe a mod move would move and add to the above thread
EastEnders' Ryan Malloy and Lauren Branning are to embark on a shockingly steamy romance.
The age difference between the unlikely couple - played by Neil McDermott and Jacqueline Jossa - will stun Walford residents, in particular the teen's over-protective father Max (Jake Wood) who "hits the roof" when he finds out about their relationship.
An 'EastEnders' insider revealed: "Max will hit the roof when he discovers that Lauren is with Ryan. To him, Lauren is still his little girl - and he won't approve of someone so much older being her boyfriend.
"On top of that, he still harbours a grudge against Ryan over his failed relationship with Stacey Branning. Their dislike for each other will only get worse."
However, it isn't just Max the loved-up couple will have to come up against, but Ryan's half-sister Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) - who is Lauren's best friend - and his evil ex-wife Janine (Charlie Brooks) will also be vocal in their discontent for the new romance.
The Walford source added to Inside Soap magazine: "No matter how many people disapprove of this love match, Ryan and Lauren won't bow to pressure and split up.
"Both of them are stubborn, and Lauren won't allow anyone to tell her what to do. It'll be a difficult time for Max. He'll be desperate to drive a wedge between them - and that could mean that he has to join forces with Janine."

Does Lauren fall pregnant?
I never understood the expression u guys use "fall pregnant" ???? Sorry I am just a DUMB Yank trying to understand the EXPRESSION. If Lauren does get pregnant by Ryan.. Ryan will probably latch on to her since Lily is in the USA with Stacey.. BTW gang when did Janine and Ryan get a divorce ??? Do not remember any thing being mentioned or seeing any papers signed or initaled ???
i don't really think it's that shocking, is it? Lauren's 17/18 but i wouldn't say Ryan's character is supposed to be much over 25/26. Ok, so if you were her dad you wouldn't like it and it is bound to end in tears, but it's hardly a pervy old man taking advantage.
yeah I don't get it what the fuss is about either.. Lauren is around 17 and Ryan is only about 5 to 6 years older...
ETA.. just checked it out there is 10 years between them.. she is 17, he is 27.... still not prev old man thing.. My ex husband is 10 years older than me and I met him when I was 18
I think Max would have a problem with anyone that Lauren went out with.
