EastEnders aired a baby bombshell on Tuesday night's episode but fans aren't convinced.
Soap fans will recall that Jay Brown grew close to escort Nadine Keller, who has a striking resemblance to Lola Pearce, last year following the death of his beloved wife. During Tuesday's episode, Nadine dropped the bombshell that she is 26 weeks pregnant with his baby leaving Jay flustered over what to do.
However, viewers weren't convinced of Nadine's bombshell as they claimed the "timings don't add up" and she could in fact be working with a past character. Taking to Twitter, now X, many fans think Nadine could be faking her pregnancy and working with Lola's mum Emma Harding in a bid for the latter to get access to her granddaughter Lexi.
One person said: "Jay and Nadine 26 weeks ago. Phil and Emma 30 weeks ago. If these aren't connected, then im going to eat my shoe. Which one is really pregnant? #EastEnders" while another wrote: "I'm still convinced that Nadine & Emma are connected in some way. They are either: 1. Working together ( hence the pregnancy ploy to keep tabs on Jay & Lola's family) 2. They are related in some way. #EastEnders."
Elsewhere, a different show watcher put: "I don't think Nadine is pregnant. I think she's faking it to scam money out of Jay #Eastenders", another put: "Emma working with Nadine as she wants Lexi? #Eastenders", a different account commented: "#EastEnders Nadine’s timings don’t add up!" while another added: "Plot Twist: she's actually Lola's sister #Eastenders."
Next week will air the aftermath of the baby bombshell as it's the day of London Marathon but a deflated Jay insists he isn't going to run following Nadine's revelation but Honey Mitchell persuades him otherwise. Later in the week, after careful consideration, Jay invites Nadine over.
However, it's not long until the pair start arguing when a sceptical Jay questions the baby's paternity and whether he is actually the father. An insulted Nadine insists the baby is his and then drops another bombshell... they're expecting a baby girl.
After the bombshell, Jay promises to be there for her and the baby, handing over money to support her with the pregnancy. Later in the week, Nadine visits Jay, Honey and Callum to apologise for causing upset with Lola's daughter Lexi about the pregnancy. However, Nadine is overcome with guilt when she realises how serious Jay is about the baby.
In a bid to bring everyone together, later in the week, Jay treats Lexi and Nadine to lunch at The Vic so the pair can bond but Lexi can't contain herself as it's clear a rift is starting to grow between the pair...
