When is Louise’s baby due in EastEnders?

Louise discovered she was pregnant back in April, which would mean her baby should be making an appearance early next year.

However, BBC bosses have confirmed that Louise will shock her family when she goes into early labour this week - just in time for explosive Christmas scenes.

And it’s looking like the baby will arrive just in time for Phil to discover Keanu and Sharon’s secret and begin to plan his explosive revenge.

Is Louise’s baby ok in EastEnders?

It’s been a tough time for Louise in the wake of Mel’s death and feud between her mum and Sharon.

Louise is caught in the middle of a war, with her mum convinced Sharon murdered Mel to keep her baby daddy secret hidden.

Lisa is desperate to avenge her best friend, but her daughter Louise can’t understand her mum’s antics and has been growing increasingly concerned.

And it seems things are only going to get worse for the mother-to-be when her waters break earlier than expected.

Following the birth, Louise will panic when the baby - who she and Keanu name Peggy - stops breathing.

There’s chaos as doctors and nurses rush in to save the baby’s life, but Peggy’s condition will eventually stabilise.
