Another ridiculous move yesterday.
Steven probably is just " on a loan" still from New Zealand and Lauren "I do NOTHING AT ALL" would have minus 800% chance of getting a flat short notice with no chance of a deposit or whatever. Of course this or next week they will have found a flat that conveniently is on the square and despite London's millions of people will not have been noticed at all.
Unless the silly sidestep of moving in with Ian is done, it would be a laughable story if they get a place of their own, especially when you compare it to the Cokers being close to bankrupt and having a business and trying to make ends meet. (apart from Babe's blackmail)

Also, why in EE does no one ever say to someone, " Why are you doing nothing all day, should you not start looking for work" (prob because they all barely work 5 minutes a day )

It is a tad ridiculous as is no one ever being on benefits, Lauren presumably is as she is not working and looking after Louie and I doubt Steven few shifts at Beales will cover them.

The flat hunting is another thing they never go in depth with, oh I'm just gonna private rent a two bed flat in London with no job or money despite the inflated rates.

I guess they can give her one of Jack's newly convert flats and use that as excuse.

Yes they probably will get it for free from loaded Jack.

It would be nice to see for once things not going their way and Lauren getting forced to do something with her life for once

Well if you watched last nights episode, Steven asked Laruen to move in with Ian and Jane, to help support Jane. And i also read some spoilers, that says Lauren gets fed up of looking after Jane in the coming weeks too.

But Steven and Lauren just wont be together long anyway.

Because i think your all forgetting Steven's Character is in fact Gay. So it will eventually blow up sooner or later anyway. I think Steven might get together with Johnny anyway.

And once that and if that does happen, Lauren will join with her sister Abi to moan about why their boyfriends turned out to be gay. and all that jazz

Maybe Steven and Lauren can ask Johnny to move in with them? Absolutely nothing could go wrong in that scenario.
