LILY Slater needs all the support she can get after deciding to keep her unborn baby.
One major betrayal leads to her father Ryan Malloy to return to Walford, as fans predicted, in upcoming EastEnders scenes.
Ryan Malloy returns to Walford next week
Stacey is shocked to hear Whitney Dean is responsible for his return
How will he support Lily Slater?
Martin Fowler was recently met with an impossible choice to make as he was offered a new job opportunity in Turkey.
The market trader recently struggled to decide what he wanted to do as he felt guilty for leaving his stepdaughter Lily Slater (played by Lillia Turner) at such a difficult time.
But the 12-year-old is soon set to get the support of her biological father, Ryan Malloy.
EastEnders bosses have recently teased Ryan’s return as actor Neil McDermott will be reprising his role.
Ryan is brought back onto the Square next week with half term in full swing.
Lily first spends some quality time with her aunt Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) on her market stall.
Later on, Lily begins to question her mother Stacey (Lacey Turner) about her father Ryan and, incensed, the owner of Stacey’s Baps realises Whitney has influenced Lily’s questioning.
The women argue and, frustrated, Whitney promises Stacey to let her tell him about Lily’s pregnancy when she’s good and ready.
But when her test results for her own baby are delayed for a further two weeks, Whitney is emotional and decides to confide in Ryan after some persuasion from Zack Hudson, the father of her unborn child.
Whitney’s emotions unfortunately get the better of her while on the phone and she soon reveals to her brother that Lily is expecting a child at only twelve years old.
Wracked with guilt, Whitney tells Stacey what she’s done but before she has time to reveal everything, the latter receives an unsettling phone call from Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace).
Kat tells her that her van has been broken in to – could it be Ryan?
When he’s finally seen in Walford, in later scenes of the BBC One soap, Stacey is shocked to hear him out in the Café while a sheepish Lily wants to get to know him.
Ryan later offers Stacey to help them out financially – how will she react?
He then heads over to The Vic and exchanges some harsh words with Ricky Mitchell’s parents, Sam Mitchell and Jack Branning.
The police officer portrayed by Scott Maslen recently tried to manipulate Lily into getting an abortion but failed as Stacey is adamant on respecting her daughter’s decisions.
Could Ryan bring his behaviour up?
Is everything really as it seems with Ryan?
How will other residents react to his return, seven years after he left Albert Square for Yorkshire?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
