Photo Spoilers: Booze, babies and Beale's meals...

Lauren's week doesn't get off to the best start when she's confronted by an angry Joey and smugger than smug Lucy for forgetting about Joey's marathon run. A gutted Lauren tries to excuse herself by saying she's been pre-occupied with family drama... but when isn't there family drama in the Branning clan? Joey is not impressed!

While it's bad times for Lauren, Max and Kirsty seem to having a better time of it, especially now Max has come round to the idea of being a dad for the fifth time! However, Kirsty seems oddly reluctant to spread the good news... it can't stay a secret forever!

Ian Beale is back in business mode, and on Tuesday he tells an excitable Jean about his plans to rent the Emporium and turn it into a restaurant. He swears Jean to secrecy, probably knowing that Lucy won't be too impressed!

Janine wastes no time getting back to business when she returns to the Square, and makes it clear that she wants her daughter back in her life. However, Michael's convinced that Janine is not prepared to be a mum. His devious little mind forms a cunning plan, and he arrives at Butchers Joints, flowers in hand, ready to turn on the charm.

Oh Liam! There's no let up in the gang's reign of terror, and on Thursday they chuck a brick through the Butcher's kitchen window! Liam volunteers to stay at home until the window replacement man shows up, but he's clearly pertrifed. He locks himself in and arms himself with a baseball bat.

And in what has become an oh so familiar scene, Lauren's drinking has got her into trouble again! After getting steadily drunk through an otherwise civilised lunch with her mates, Lauren makes a show of herself and pushes Joey to breaking point. What happens next leaves her devasted... and probably in need of another stiff drink!

It's going to be an emotional week!
