EastEnders' Lily Slater set to make life-changing decision about motherhood

Lily Slater, who plays Lily Slater on EastEnders, recently gave birth to her first child at the age of 13, and although her mother Stacey Slater and the rest of the family have been supportive, the schoolgirl has been overwhelmed by the magnitude of the event.
In upcoming EastEnders scenes, Lilia Turner’s character Lily Slater questions her ability to play a mother.

The Slaters are having dinner as a family at Phil and Kat’s (Steve McFadden and Jessie Wallace) house when Lily snaps at Charli because she won’t stop crying, according to official BBC soap opera spoilers.

Later, she has a complete breakdown about not being able to be a good mother and storms off.

Kat pursues her and tells Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) about her own experience.

Lily is concerned that she is too young to be a mother, but Kat is adamant that she can be a fantastic mother if Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is by her side.

But as the pressure grows, Lily isn’t persuaded.

Could Lily decide to give up Charli because she doubts her ability to be a mother?

This has already been predicted by some soap opera fans, with some speculating Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) might adopt Charli.

After tragically losing a baby earlier in the year, Whitney and her partner Zack Hudson (James Farrar) recently decided to adopt a child.

Some fans believe Lily will adopt Charli because of the timing of her uncertainty regarding motherhood.

“I have a feeling that Lily is going to give up her baby, and Whitney and Zack will get her, it will be too hard for Lily to see her grow up on the square so that’s why Whitney leaves #Eastenders,” wrote Twitter user @xstephxoxox.

@Rachael_Spratt questioned, “Is Lily going to give up baby Charli? #Eastenders.”

@afashionoddity shared: “Lily will for sure want to give the baby Charli XCX up for adoption #Eastenders.”

Another posted: “@easstenders adoption foreshadow can’t help but think she’s gonna adopt Lily’s baby…”

“It does hint that Whitney could adopt Lily’s baby in the future if Lily wants it and the Slaters agree. #EastEnders,” tweeted @RyanTheSoapking.
