EastEnders bombshell as Cindy Beale’s attack evidence is destroyed – but it’s not by who you think
The BBC soap’s iPlayer first episode showed Lauren Branning suffering from flashbacks of her hands covered in blood
EASTENDERS has dropped a bombshell in today’s episode as a key piece of evidence from Cindy Beale’s attack has been destroyed – and by a shocking individual.
The BBC soap’s iPlayer first episode showed Lauren Branning suffering from flashbacks of her hands covered in blood.
She remembered that she wiped them on the scarf Louie gave her.
“I can remember something else, I’ve got this image, me with blood all over my hands, and I’m wiping it on my scarf,” she told Peter.
“Or I found a scarf that already had blood on it and I don’t know which one. You know the scarf that Louie got us both?”
Peter looked concerned and tried to deflect Lauren until she added: “It is proof that I attacked your mum.”
He then appeared to realise she wasn’t potentially blaming him – but herself – and he tried to half-heartedly convince her otherwise.
“I remember a blood-stained scarf,” she insisted.
Peter told her that it could just be a side-effect of her relapse – and that she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body.
“I ran over my own dad – sober,” she reminded him.
“Maybe I’ll just go to the police and tell them I saw the scarf and blame it on my recovery?”
Peter told her she can’t and said he wouldn’t let her imagination ruin their family – but it soon became clear he had another motive for keeping Lauren quiet.
Under cover of darkness, Peter was seen retrieving a scarf hidden under piles of rubble.
He put it on a lit bbq and burned it – hiding the bloody evidence.
But is he protecting Lauren or himself?
