After making her parents sick with grief because of her alcohol problem, Lauren Branning is now a concern for her friends too.
The resident party animal of Albert Square plummets to new depths in the upcoming weeks, when she needs to be rescued by Lucy Beale.
The 18-year-old brunette is driven off by three random men after a boozy night out in Walford, and unaware of the potential danger she may be in, Lauren is saved by a sensible Lucy Beale.
The two girls are seen enjoying a night out on the tiles celebrating Lauren's 18th birthday, and have a little too much to drink.
Lucy, played by 17-year-old Hetti Bywater, tries in vain to persuade her drunken friend to not go with the guys, but Lauren gets into their car.
The best mates have a huge argument about it and almost come to blows but soon enough the men shut the car door and drive off with Lauren, played by Jacqueline Jossa.
With nobody around to help her, Lucy is forced to take matters into her own hands and sprints down the road after the vehicle.
Lucy catches up with the car and forces open the door and drags the very drunk Lauren out.
The car then tears off at breakneck speed and leaves trails of smoke from the tyres and Lauren lying in the road.
After she stumbles to her feet she then has another explosive argument with Lucy and they end up getting in a taxi to return to Walford.
Her recent on screen antics have been so appalling that Jacqueline, 19, has been put off drinking in real life.
She told the Daily Star: 'I’ve not got drunk at all in five or six weeks because it makes me feel sick now.
'I watch myself on the show and don’t want my friends to think I’m like that.'
