Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) was left with a big decision to make as another character learned of her pregnancy bombshell in Tuesday's (31st March 2026) EastEnders.
When Penny told cousins Lauren Beale (Jacqueline Jossa) and Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) that she slept with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) on the day he set off for rehab late last year, and so the baby could be his, Lauren urged her not to bury her head in the sand.
At her market stall, Penny was flustered when Vinny's mum Suki (Balvinder Sopal) approached with her wife Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace), making a sincere effort to apologise for her recent behaviour.

Suki was baffled, and suspicious enough to confront Penny just as Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) was checking in on her.
Meanwhile, Vinny assumed Suki was to blame for Penny's distress, and when he doubled down on his commitment to her, she opted to keep quiet.
Putting two and two together, Nicola realised that Penny could well be carrying Harry's child - and she dealt Penny an ultimatum.
Will she bow to Nicola's demands?
