Why did Lauren leave Albert Square?
On Christmas Day 2017, Lauren and her sister Abi, who was pregnant at the time, climbed onto the roof of The Vic in order to talk down their dad Max.
As they tried to help, Lauren ended up slipping. In an attempt to save Lauren, Abi grabbed her but the pair both ended up falling off the roof.
Lauren needed an operation on her leg, but Abi was eventually declared brain stem dead.

After Abi’s baby was delivered, who was named Abi Jr after her mum, Abi’s life support machine was turned off.
