EastEnders’ Lauren Branning reconsidered her feud with father Max and his new lover Cindy Beale after a word of advice from an unexpected ally. Since catching Max and Cindy in the throes of passion<\/a> after their first date, Lauren has been visibly irritated.<\/p>\n

In tonight’s scenes, Lauren walked in on her dad and Cindy once again. Storming out, she suggested the two put some clothes on before they turned her house into an “OAP hook-up club”, leaving both Max and Cindy in shock.<\/p>\n

Later on, Oscar tried to talk Lauren into giving Max a chance, particularly after he saved baby Jimmy’s life in the car crash<\/a>. Lauren was having none of it, however, and immediately quizzed her brother as to why he’d defend Max over her.<\/p>\n

Backed into a corner, Oscar admitted that Max had asked him to put in a good word with Lauren in exchange for some money, and this infuriated her further. She headed to the caf\u00e9 to calm down, but was soon joined by Mark Fowler.<\/p>\n

Despite her insistence that she wasn’t up for small talk, Lauren soon started venting about Max and his new romance with Cindy, which is especially difficult for her given that Cindy is her mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

Mark shared insights from his fraught relationship with his own father, Grant Mitchell, and reminded Lauren that having a loving parent who tries their best wasn’t to be taken for granted. <\/p>\n

Mulling over Mark’s words, Lauren softened and invited Max and Cindy to take their “skanky” snogging inside before the neighbours could see them. Max questioned the “change of heart” from Lauren, but was glad she supported him. <\/p>\n

When Max went inside, Lauren noticed Mark across the street and the two of them smiled at each other. With her latest feud seemingly settled, could it be a while before Lauren is back in the thick of the drama?<\/p>\n

In the future scenes, Lauren, who’s currently married to Peter, appears to be hiding something as she texts and agrees to meet a mystery person, but could it be Mark?<\/p>\n
