Fans of EastEnders were shocked to learn that 12-year-old Lily Slater was expecting a child.
After learning that her daughter Lily (Lillia Turner) is expecting, Stacey Slater (played by Lacey Turner) and her family will experience drama in 2023. In the episode of EastEnders that aired on Monday night, Stacey revealed to the youngster that she was expecting a child and was eager to learn who the father was. Lily insisted it didn’t matter but remained mum about it.
However, because the police are looking into Lily’s pregnancy to see if she was abused, the father has been a hot topic among fans.
Young Ricky Mitchell (Frankie Day), Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), and Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) have all been suggested as potential fathers.
There are numerous indicators that each of the three boys is the father.
Fans will have to wait a little longer to learn the answer, though, as Lily is refusing to speak about it.
Who is the father of Lily Slater’s baby in EastEnders?
Ricky Mitchell
Ricky has been heard saying he was “off to see a mate” numerous times, leading many fans to believe it is him.
According to BBC viewers, he has been sneaking away to see Lily, and the two have engaged in sexual activity.
On the BBC soap opera recently, Ricky had to deal with a lot as his home life was turned upside down.
Recently, while his father Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) has been ignoring him, his mother Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) has returned.
Several times, Ricky has sneaked away quietly, which has led me to believe that he is the father of Lily’s child, according to staff speculation on Twitter. #eastenders.”
Freddie Slater
After a long absence, Freddie came back to Albert Square with a single goal in mind: to identify his father.
Given that Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth) was his mother and Kat (Jessie Wallace) is his aunt, he has quickly assimilated into the Slater family.
Because Freddie is the baby’s father and is 18 years old, viewers are concerned that he assaulted the young girl.
Fans have expressed concern because Freddie and Lily have recently spent a lot of time together.
“I really hope they didn’t bring Freddie’s character back to make him Lily’s baby father #EastEnders,” wrote Melissa Aimee on Twitter.
Denzel Danes
Denzel first appeared in August 2022 and is the son of Delilah and Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson).
Denzel may be being lined up by bosses to participate in Lily’s pregnancy plot because he hasn’t had any major storylines yet.
Lily persuaded her friend to back out of having sex with Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd), whom Denzel had recently developed feelings for.
Ryan Glendenning, who posted: “OMG I hope Denzel isn’t the father of Lilly’s baby, has fans speculating that Denzel may have turned his attention to Lily. That would be such a cruel stab in Amy’s back, and it would be so heartbreaking. #EastEnders.”
Actress Lacey discussed the plot and said that her character would try to gain Lily’s trust in order to identify the father.
Stacey is walking on thin ice, she said. She needs to learn all the specifics from Lily, including how this occurred and who the father is.
But in order to accomplish that, she must gain Lily’s trust. If Lily wants the information to remain a secret, Stacey will abide by her request.
She “is just trying to get the information and build that trust and not break it,” says Martin, “which is why she doesn’t confide in him.”
