TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Lily Slater made the decision to follow through with her pregnancy.
Next week in EastEnders, the schoolgirl makes another difficult choice for her future as tensions grow with her classmates.
Lily Slater is struggling in school
She makes a devastating decision next week
Lily has had enough of being bullied at school and with a baby on the way, she already has enough to stress ahead of her.
Next week on BBC One, she finds herself facing a radical choice.
It all begins when Stacey (played by Lacey Turner) takes her daughter Lily (Lillia Turner) to school after she refuses to go due to bullying she has been facing as a result of her teen pregnancy.
Stacey tries to cheer Lily up by arranging Amy Branning to come over for a sleepover later on and she then furiously shares her concerns with the school headmaster.
She’s invited to join the parents’ committee that same evening to help stamp out bad behaviour at school but her appearance causes a severe commotion with a group of pupils – they all have access to her Secret Cam page.
An embarrassed Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) and Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) tell Amy (Ellie Dadd) who passes the word on to Lily before she arrives home and outs a mortified Stacey in front of the horrified Slaters.
Reeling from the shock of being exposed, Stacey can’t bring herself to face her family but Martin Fowler (James Bye) soon gives her the boost she needs to face down the judgemental parents.
Despite his wise words, tension rises in the Slater household as Jean (Gillian Wright) struggles to come to terms with her daughter’s cam work.
An emotional Lily later arrives home insisting she wants to quit school for good due to being bullied about her mother’s actions, which prompts Stacey to come up with a plan.
But will Lily really stop going to school?
Can Stacey help her daughter face the bullying?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
