Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) is given a glimpse into what the next few months are going to be like as Ricky (Frankie Day) and Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) adapt to being parents in EastEnders.
Lily and Ricky are now mum and dad to baby Charli. The pregnancy journey for these two was challenging to say the least. Because Lily and Ricky are so young, they faced multiple meetings with people from social services as they both had to prove they’d be capable of looking after a baby with help from their families.

Marching over to Stacey, Jack throws accusations about and, mortified, she drags Lily home.
During another meeting with the social worker, Stacey and Lily pretend that everything is fine which is picked up on by Jean (Gillian Wright), who then tells Stacey it’s best to not be so heavy-handed with Lily, as letting her make mistakes and learn is best.
