Quite the start to 2024! EastEnders fans were in for a shock when Lauren Branning was arrested for possession of drugs in her return episode.
The episode began with Lauren joining a house party in France. During a chat with her cousin Penny - Jack's daughter - it became apparent that she was missing her son Louie's father, Peter.
Lauren tried to reassure Penny that her dad was not as bad as she thought, but Penny was not convinced.
At the party, a French lady arrived looking for Penny. It was revealed that Penny had been working with her and was apprehensive about completing another job. The lady made it clear she wasn't someone to get on the wrong side of.
The tension was palpable, but when Penny decided to leave France with Lauren and Louie, it seemed like all would be well.
Unfortunately, when the trio arrived at the station, a sniffer dog approached Lauren's bag and the police found drugs inside. Despite Lauren's protests that it was a mistake, she was arrested and taken away.
Now, Penny and Louie are on their own and fans are left wondering if Lauren will make the train in time. But the biggest mystery of all is who could have framed her?
