Lauren Branning's time in Walford has been filled with heartache and tragedy. In the latest episode of EastEnders, she found herself caught in the midst of a chaotic crowd crush at Peggy's. How did this happen? Well, it all started with Chelsea's anger towards Penny, who had taken her job. Chelsea decided to mess with the booking system, allowing more people to buy tickets for the event even though it was already at full capacity.
As more and more people flooded into Peggy's, the situation quickly turned dangerous. In a desperate attempt to escape, everyone inside was pushing and shoving. Lauren and Freddie realized that the only available exit was through an office, but the door was locked because Cindy and Junior were inside, carrying on with their affair. When the door finally opened, Junior rushed out to avoid being seen with Cindy, causing Lauren to be knocked to the ground by the crowd.
Trapped on the floor, Lauren had to protect herself as people trampled over her. It was a terrifying and overwhelming experience. To make matters worse, she had suffered a chest wall injury, broken ribs, and a damaged lung. As Peter tried to comfort her in the hospital, Lauren broke down in tears. It was a familiar place for her, as the last time she was at Walford General Hospital was when her sister Abi died.
Abi, played by Lorna Fitzgerald, tragically passed away in 2018 after falling off the Queen Vic roof alongside Lauren. The two sisters had gone up there to try and save their father Max, who was planning to end his life. In a heart-wrenching moment, Lauren slipped on the wet surface, and Abi grabbed her hand, causing them both to fall. At the hospital, the family received the devastating news that Abi was brainstem dead and would not wake up. Her life support was turned off at 8:32pm, the exact time of her birth.
After Abi's funeral, Lauren decided to start a new life in New Zealand with her son Louie. She later moved to France before returning to Albert Square at the beginning of the year, alongside Penny. It's been a difficult journey for Lauren, and the events at Peggy's only added to her already traumatic past. But she's a survivor, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her.
