With her sister's funeral finally taking place, Lauren decided it was time for her to leave Albert Square for pastures new.

"Life's short, be happy, live your life for the both of you," Max told her beside Abi's coffin after she found him saying a private goodbye.

And the words seemed to give Lauren pause for thought and she opted to walk out of her sister's funeral to a waiting Josh and promptly went straight past him.

Instead of stopping to speak to him or collect any of her things from their packed car, she grabbed her son Louis and just walked passed him through the graveyard.

A third tweeted: "So did Lauren just walk away from Josh and he accepted they were over without question?? What? #EastEnders"
