If, like us, you\u2019ve been waiting for Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) to wade into the affair saga of uncle Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and her former sister-in-law Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), you\u2019re in luck, as EastEnders<\/a> teases a first look at tomorrow\u2019s (Thursday 21st March 2024) showdown.<\/p>\n

Jack and Stacey\u2019s betrayal was finally exposed this week<\/a>, with Jack\u2019s wife Denise Fox (Diane Parish) insisting on a divorce in the aftermath. Stacey, meanwhile, has been disowned by her relatives.<\/p>\n

As these pictures reveal, a row soon erupts when Lauren and cousin Penny (Kitty Castledine), Jack\u2019s eldest daughter, make their disgust over Jack and Stacey\u2019s affair known.<\/p>\n

Poor Lauren has already had enough drama from Stacey to last a lifetime, with Stacey having had an affair with Lauren\u2019s father Max (Jake Wood) and marrying his son Bradley (Charlie Clements).<\/p>\n

Years later, while married to Martin Fowler (James Bye), Stacey and Max had another<\/em> fling!<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Max was left broken when his many misdeeds at the time, including said fling, were exposed once more. This led him onto the roof of The Queen Vic, where Lauren and her sister Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) fell, resulting in Abi\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s safe to say that Lauren will be more than a little fed up and furious over Stacey\u2019s latest antics with yet another Branning bloke!<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t give away what happens as Stacey and Jack face Lauren\u2019s wrath, but you certainly won\u2019t want to miss a moment as recently returned star Jossa gives the scene her all, and may just have you cheering at your screens.<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday 21st March from 6am on BBC iPlayer and at 7.30pm on BBC One.<\/p>\n
