A bombshell involving Lauren Branning was revealed on tonight’s Eastenders

As soap bombshells go, this is a BIG one.

Okay, so we know that both Lauren Branning and Steven Beale made a return to Eastenders last week. What we didn't know until tonight, when Stephen grabbed Lauren and gave her a full-on kiss, is that they're more than friends. Image via BBC Majorly complicated, considering Stephen is the brother of Lauren's (ex?) boyfriend Peter. Viewers were left very confused as Stephen was first seen flirting with Johnny Carter and then kissing Lauren so what he's up to is anyone's guess. The Twitter reaction was intense:
