Am I the only one hoping they don't turn out to be father and daughter as rumoured? The whole 'secret father/mother/child' thing has been done a lot in soaps with Ronnielle and Kat and Zoe and of course Leanne and Stella etc.

They won't. EE wouldn't do brother/sister relationship. The same rumors were going around when Jack was introduced, people thought he was her dad. She's Max's daughter. End of.

I hope they dont. I'm sure its just a rumor. If the writers were goin to go down this route then surely Derek and Lauren would have been involved in more scenes together by now to try and establish some kind of bond between them rather than just having it revealed out of the blue. Also most of the time Derek seems oblivious to Tanya's contempt for him so there is nothing really to suggest there was ever an affair between them and if, like some people are speculating, it was rape then why would tanya even lt Derek through the front door never mind near lauren, abi and oscar?

Read the thread title - they are on about Lauren and Derek. What has that got to do with a brother/sister relationship?

It would make more sense for Derek to be Abi's father than Laurens. Abi has always been Max's little girl but he's never had any time for Lauren, so think how gutted he'd be to find out that Abi wasn't actually his.

How likely is it for parents with blonde and ginger hair to have a dark haired child?

Lauren is not Derek's child, unless TPTB plan to retcon history again (Tanya only met Max's family after she had concieved Lauren, not before).

As for Joey and Lauren being half siblings - no; EE won't go there. Not if really want their 'first family' to have any credo by the end of year. Considering they're sensationalism personified already, I really don't think that would be a smart move for the Brannings. Especially as they have more sensationalism coming up this Autumn anyway. On the car accident - from what I've read, it's a joyride that goes horribly wrong, rather than some lovers' quest to escape.

It's not really retcon because anyone can run into anyone at any time.

Well, it is because it was established last year that Derek and Tanya met after Lauren was born at Max and Tanya's wedding.

But then again, how likely is it that a man who is half human and half toad could father a child as lovely as Lauren?

Look at the hair colours between Derek, Max, Jack, April, Carol and Suzy, all differing and all six of them have the same parents.

You really cannot use hair colour as a proof of parentage.

Isn't that what ED did couple years ago? I remember James Sutton's character getting together with his half-sister only to have the girl's mother stop them just in time.

Derek isn't Lauren's father, if he fathered any of Max's children, it'll be Abi. Tanya & Derek didn't meet until after Lauren was born.

The Brannings have enough to deal, Max's secret, one of them being Kat's mystery man and Joey & Lauren reveal (I think the family will probably find out then).

No, I hope not. Max already has got another storyline coming up and too much going on would muddy the waters. Theres not enough animosity between Derek and Tanya either.. Am looking forward to Joey and Lauren getting together.They've got very good chemistry and it'll be nice to see Lauren in a relationship. Should give Joey something to get his teeth into as hes just been snerring round the Square until now.

I hope that she isn't his (Derrick) daughter.

Some people seem to have an obsession that he is either Laurens dad, or he raped Tanya. Personally I hope its neither.
