Penny makes a confession
So far Penny’s only let two people into her secret – Oscar and Lauren. Today’s EastEnders began with the pair paying a visit to Penny to get more details. Penny revealed she and Harry had hooked-up the day he went into rehab. In her own words: “We talked for ages, one thing led to another but we used protection, then a few weeks later me and Vinny got together, it was New Year’s, we didn’t use anything.”
Oscar was amused by his cousin’s misfortune and didn’t see why Vinny really had to find out. But Lauren felt there was only one course of action – that Penny take a paternity test.
Penny’s guilt started to overwhelm her as she lashed out at Suki. Nicola intervened and took Penny back to Harry’s Barn for a mocktail and chat. Penny revealed not everything was as she expected with the scan, setting the cogs whirring in Nicola’s mind.
