Abi's superiority

Lauren is a tart. Meanwhile Abi is none such thing. Abi is cute, cuddly adorable and magical and so so innocent. I want to put my arms around sweet lil' cutie-pie Abi and cuddle her. Lorna Fitzgerald, the incredulously talented actress that plays the darling Abi is also unbelievably adorable too.

History

Lauren is the daughter of Max and Tanya Branning and half sister of Bradley Branning. She also has a sister called Abi.

Lauren moved into 5 Albert Square with her parents and sister, not knowing that her brother even existed. She then overheard her parents talking, and discovered she had family on the Square. Lauren was very interested in her new-found family, introducing herself to her grandfather, Jim, and talking to Bradley in the Square, but when Jim threw Bradley out of his house after he got in trouble at work, Lauren was not happy at the prospect of having Bradley around, as she would have to share a room with Abi. Max talked to her and took Lauren to get her ears pierced for accepting Bradley.

Lauren made fun of Abi and her new found friendship with ten-year-old Ben Mitchell. Lauren told Ben that Abi fancied him but Abi said that it was not true. Ben and Abi soon got their own back at Lauren when they soaked her with water bombs one afternoon.

In September 2006 Lauren joined Walford High School, where she is in the same class as Lucy Beale, who she developed a friendship with. One day, Lauren pretended to be ill and came home from school. Her step-grandmother, Dot, offered to look after her while Tanya was at work. Lauren was not happy and tried to escape at every opportunity, first of all going out into the garden to text message Lucy, who was still at school. Dot found her and dragged her inside. Later, Lauren went to the playground and Dot found her a second time and was shocked when Lauren said Deano Wicks was "well buff".

At Jane Collins' hen party, Lauren and Lucy stole a bottle of champagne and went to the cellar of Booty to drink it. They got drunk but Jane didn't seem bothered by this.

In March 2007, she bought some cigarettes from Mo Harris and invited Jay Brown to her house to smoke them. Tanya walked in on them, and confiscated Lauren's phone and stopped her pocket money for the rest of the month.

In May 2007, Max, Tanya, Lauren and Abi all left Walford on a spontaneous holiday to Spain, after Max's mistress Stacey Slater threatened to tell Tanya about their affair. Whilst in Spain they saw a house they liked, and informed Bradley that they may stay in Spain permanently. However, they returned on the night that Stacey and Bradley got engaged.

On 16 July 2007, Lauren was acting strangely, Abi noticed this and asked if she was all right, but Lauren just told her to mind her own business. The reason behind Lauren's strange behaviour was that she had started her periods.

The Beales came to stay with the Brannings after Ian's attempt at DIY failed. Lauren was furious when Lucy took her favourite mini skirt without asking.

On 6 August, Lauren was left to look after Abi but did not want to. Lauren, invited Lucy over with Craig Dixon and they played truth or dare, but Lauren did not feel comfortable about it. When they dared her to take her top off, Abi came in the room before she could do it. Lucy and Craig left, and Lauren helped Abi with her guinea pig.

On 13th August, Lucy asked Lauren to go along with them having a sleepover at the Branning's house but actually Lucy was withher boyfriend Craig Dixon.

On 14th August, Lucy Beale made up that she was having a sleepover at Lauren's house again. Lucy asked Lauren to go along with it because she was actually going to spend more time with her boyfriend Craig Dixon. But Lauren said she didn't want to, and Lucy questioned whether she was actually her friend. In another attempt to get away Lucy claimed she had period pains to escape the Beale's House-Warming Party and convinced Lauren to stay silent. When Jane found that Lucy had gone, Lauren told them everything about Craig and Lucy, where they had gone and about the fake sleepover. Lauren looked guilty because Craig was soon going to find out that she had spilt the beans, as Ian ran off to find them. Lucy beale was very worried about losing her virginity, and so was lauren which is why she told Ian. She is currently best friends with Lucy.
