EastEnders has confirmed that Priya Nandra-Hart will discover she is pregnant in upcoming scenes, and she is desperate to find out whether Ravi Gulati or Max Branning is the father of her unborn baby!
This week, she teams up with Jean to try to sneakily obtain DNA samples from both men, but can they get away with it?
Having realised she’s expecting, Priya quickly realises that she needs to order a paternity test so that she can figure out whether the dad is Ravi or Max. But there’s one small problem – neither man can know what she’s up to!
“To go ahead with a paternity test, Priya needs DNA samples from both potential dads,” explains our EastEnders insider. “But telling the truth about being pregnant, let alone her baby daddy crisis, simply isn’t an option for her right now.
“Jean’s the only person who knows that Priya and Max have been having an affair behind closed doors, so she’s the only one Priya can turn to for help!”
Subsequently, Priya and Jean take a trip to the community centre, where a donor drive is being held to try to find a stem cell match for Denise.
Hoping to go under the radar, Priya and Jean do their best to nick specimens from Ravi and Max. Can they pull it off without the two men suspecting anything unusual?
Later in the week, Priya and Ravi share a cosy moment together as they confirm their love for each other, as well as their commitment to the future they have planned out.
“Ravi doesn’t have a clue that Priya is hiding something so huge from him,” reveals our snoop. “They look so smitten when they reaffirm their love for each other, but who knows how long Priya can keep her secret under wraps?
“She’s handled some dicey situations in the past, but guilt is a powerful emotion. It feels as though her baby news is a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up…”
Will Priya uncover whether Ravi or Max is the father of her child? And if it turns out to be Max, will she be forced to come clean?
HOT NEWS!!! EastEnders confirms major character is pregnant leaving flashforward mystery ‘solved’
EastEnders spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (August 19) episode, which can now be streamed on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air at 7:30pm.
Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) made quite the discovery hours after ending her affair with Max Branning (Jake Wood) – and it may shed some light on one of the big flashforward mysteries.
The fan-favourite character, as viewers know, has been sleeping with Max, who is due to wed Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in the coming weeks.
Cindy remains in the dark about lothario Max’s betrayal and roped Priya in to assist with her hen do.
Priya, meanwhile, was conflicted about her future as, feeling guilty over what they’ve done to Cindy was one thing but when ex Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) popped the question in a tearful moment, it left her certain that ending things with Max was the only logical conclusion.
Max was taken aback by her decision to put a stop to their dalliance but ultimately he realised it was for the best. While Priya weighed up if she truly wanted to marry Ravi, she headed to Cindy’s hen at The Vic – where things took an unexpected turn.
After feeling off all day, she threw up all over Cindy’s dress.
Later, we saw Priya sitting in the ladies loos with a pregnancy test in hand – and a shocked look on her face. She’s pregnant.
The question is: is the baby Max’s? If so, it would certainly add further fuel to the speculation that she is the pregnant woman in Max’s bed on New Year’s Day.
The BBC One soap, as fans will remember, aired a special flashforward episode in January, showcasing what New Year’s Day 2027 will look like on the Square.
On the day in question, Max is getting married to a mystery woman – but there is a pregnant woman sleeping in the bed beside him that’s not his bride-to-be.
With Priya now confirmed pregnant, will she prove to be the woman in question?
