Peter’s Big Gesture

Peter Beale (Thomas Law) stunned viewers in the latest EastEnders episode by revealing he had planned a surprise wedding at The Queen Vic. With help from Cindy (Michelle Collins), Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), and gran Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Peter tried to sweep Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) off her feet. Even Lauren’s brother, Oscar (Pierre Moullier), pitched in by decorating with reused items from the Trueman wedding.

The idea was meant to reignite excitement in their relationship, but Peter’s bold gamble came with risks.

A Plan Nearly Falls Apart

To keep the secret under wraps, Peter arranged a spa day to distract Lauren. But things quickly derailed when she refused to go. In an unexpected twist, Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) stepped in to change Lauren’s mood—without knowing what was really happening behind the scenes.

Instead of relaxation, the two ended up at a bar. Drinks with strangers led to a tense moment when Penny suggested Lauren seemed unfazed about Peter’s growing closeness with another woman. The comment lingered, planting doubts in Lauren’s mind just hours before Peter’s grand reveal.
