EastEnders fans think Lily is lying about the father of her baby

At the Slaters’s New Year Party, Eve, Jean and Lily all collapsed.

It was discovered there is a carbon monoxide leak in the house and they were taken to hospital.

However while Stacey waited, a nurse informed her that 12-year-old Lily is pregnant.

When Lily woke up Stacey told her about the pregnancy.

Due to Lily’s age, police and social services got involved, but Lily was reluctant to reveal who the dad is.

In last night’s episode (Wednesday, January 4 2023) Stacey spotted Lily waving to Ricky Jr out of her bedroom window.

Stacey confronted Lily who admitted Ricky is the father.

However fans think that Lily could be lying to protect the real father.

Denzel Danes

Another theory is that Denzel is really the father.

Viewers know Denzel has been romantically involved with Lily’s friend Amy.

However they’ve been on and off over the last few months.

Recently Amy and Lily fell out. Could Lily have slept with Denzel?

Freddie Slater

The police and social services got involved when they found out Lily is pregnant.

They said about investigating everyone in Lily’s life, including the men she lived with.

Stacey was adamant she could trust everyone that she lived with.

But some fans suspect that Freddie Slater could have abused Lily.

Freddie came to Walford last year and is the son of Stacey’s second cousin, Little Mo.

Some fans even suspect that Lily’s stepdad Martin Fowler could be the father.

Martin and Stacey use to be married and although he is not Lily’s biological dad, he has treated her as his own and she refers to him as her dad.

But a few fans haven’t ruled out Martin as the potential father.
