LILY Slater's pregnancy sent shockwaves throughout Albert Square – but how will she cope?
The twelve-year-old receives the support of another EastEnders character who understands her struggle.
Due to her young age, social services and the police have begun an investigation to find out who the father of Lily's baby could be and prove she's not being abused at home.
This led to her adoptive father Martin Fowler to find out about her pregnancy which, in turn, triggered talks of abortion which hadn't been yet considered.
In upcoming scenes of the BBC One soap, Lily (played by Lillia Turner) will have to make an important decision.
Thankfully for her, one member of her family won't be leaving her alone and confused.
