As Lauren fights to prove herself, a shocking Mark Jr twist changes everything tomorrow
Lauren's facing a horrific end to the week...
Lauren and Max found themselves clashing in today’s EastEnders as their first day running the car lot got underway.
But if Lauren thinks fighting her dad for the top job at work was the biggest worry she was going to face this week, she is sadly mistaken.
Lauren and Max clashed over the car lot
As Lauren got ready for her first day at the car lot since Max bought the business from Jay Brown, Peter was there to support her. Not only did she have a new outfit for the occasion, but Peter also got her a new name plaque for her desk.
However, when Lauren arrived at work, the penny dropped that she and Max had got their wires crossed.
As Max unpacked his dart board and basketball hoop, Lauren was confused about why he was making himself so at home until he revealed he was the big boss.
Having assumed that Max would take more of a silent partner approach, Lauren’s nose was well and truly put out of joint.
Determined not to let her dad put her off, she told Max that she had lots of ideas for the business. But he dismissed them at first and instead asked her to fetch him a latte.
Fuming, Lauren set him straight, so Max challenged her to sell the classic car on the forecourt in 24 hours.
Not wanting to let Max win, Lauren agreed. However, little did she know this challenge would lead her to big danger.
EastEnders: The drama continues for Lauren tomorrow
Tomorrow’s EastEnders sees Lauren take Mark Jr out for a test drive in the classic car. She is pleased when it seems she might be able to prove Max wrong by selling the car to Mark. But when he admits he doesn’t have the funds, she is annoyed.
Determined to make it up to her, Mark offers to buy Lauren lunch. But while leaving her in the car to get some food, thugs attack Lauren and speed off with the car.
Shaken and in shock, Lauren can’t believe what has happened. Mark comes back and comes to her rescue, taking her back to Walford to Max and Peter. But is this just the start of drama between Lauren and Mark?
Ant & Dec's Limitless Win contestant reveals she was hit with tattoo ban by show bosses and here's why
Sarah Woodward appeared on the ITV game show with her sister Amy in the hope of winning a big cash prize.
The siblings managed to build up a good prize pot during their stint but sadly ended up missing out on £30,000.

Sarah has now spoken exclusively to TV Guide, collaboration with Slots Temple, about her time on Ant & Dec's Limitless Win.
And, after Ant and Dec wrapped another series, she's spilled the beans on the strange tattoo ban contestants are put under.
Ant & Dec's Limitless Win: Tattoo ban
Sarah and Amy appeared on Ant & Dec's Limitless Win four years ago.
The ladies ended up being picked for the ITV show after Sarah secretly applied without Amy knowing. She then had to break the news to her that they'd been chosen to take part.
Amy jumped at the opportunity, however, and they appeared on screen together in January 2022.
But looking back on their experience, Sarah tells us about how production staff told her what to wear so her tattoos didn't show.
The xx-year-old has intricate designs of flowers, including roses, and butterflies, down both of her arms but she couldn't expose them.
Sarah says: "They wanted all of my tattoos covered up, regardless. That ended up changing the way I dressed.
"I don’t mind having my tattoos out, that’s why I got them. But I had to wear long sleeves, and there were certain patterns or colours that would clash."

Sarah, who has pink hair, ended up dressed in a dark blue top with long-sleeves and a high round neck. Looking back, she admits she regrets accepting the outfit that was picked out for her.
"The only thing I’d do differently is be more forthcoming about what I actually wanted to wear, rather than just going with what they thought I should," Sarah says.
"It was my only negative about the whole experience."
Why are tattoos banned on Limitless Win?
Sarah and Amy ended up missing out on £30,000 after incorrectly answering a question about the Canadian national flag.
They were asked how many points were on the red maple leaf. The correct answer is 11, but the sisters failed to pick the exact number.
Sarah and Amy's was only the third episode of Ant & Dec's Limitless Win to ever be filmed. As a result, Sarah admits: "I don't think we properly understood how the whole thing worked.
"I'm 100 percent sure that if we'd been on the second or third series, we would have done things a little differently, because we'd have understood the premise of the game much better."

But the main question on all of our lips is whether Sarah discovered the reason why tattoos are banned on the show.
And the good news is, she did!
She reveals: "The production team told me the reason they are like that with tattoos on the show.
"It is because they once filmed a full TV series, and when they were editing it towards the end, they realised that one of the main people had a very offensive tattoo. They had to scrap the whole thing!"
Makes sense, now!
