Peter plays with fire as new mum Demi catches his eye in EastEnders

How will Lauren react when she finds out?

 20-26 SEPTEMBER

As she moves into No.25, Cindy causes tension between Lauren and Peter and Peter befriends another mum, Demi, at Jimmy’s sensory class. But it’s clear Demi fancies Peter.

Later, going against Ian’s advice, Peter goes for a drink with Demi, before returning home full of energy and seducing Lauren. Unaware that Penny has witnessed his exchange with Demi.

When Oscar walks in on them Lauren and Peter are amused and the pair head to Johnny’s birthday party at The Albert.

Penny orders Peter to tell Lauren the truth about his mystery woman, but he decides against it and Lauren finds out herself from a flirty message on his phone. But when Lauren is unfazed, Peter starts to question their relationship.

After Penny organises a coffee for Lauren and Demi in the café, the trio soon start to bond and Peter is horrified to walk in and overhear them laughing at his expense.

Smoothing things over, Lauren tells him she wants more excitement and Peter seeks advice from Ian and Kathy, who are shocked when he reveals his plan.
