EASTENDERS fans believe the fate of one character has been sealed after a shocking revelation.
Viewers of the BBC One soap have seen Ricky Jr drop the bombshell on mum Sam Mitchell that he is the father to 12 year old Lily Slater's unborn child.
The shocking news floored Sam and now fans think this will have derailed her plans to fly off to Germany with Ricky Snr after they planned to start a new life.
Sam has been giddy about her upcoming move but was taken aback at hearing the shocking piece of news from her son.
The troubled mother appeared to step up to the mark as she consoled Ricky Jr and bonded with him over the piece of life-changing news.
As such, the youngster begged his mother not to abandon him by going to Germany.

One fan speculated online: “I knew Ricky would ask Sam to stay. Come on Sam, this is your time to finally be the mum Ricky wants and needs you to be.”
Another added: “No doubt Sam will stay now for Ricky as she doesn't really like the Ricky she is dating just using him.”
As a third agreed: “Ricky evidently has mother/abandonment issues. Sam needs to cancel moving to Germany…”
