EastEnders viewers believe they have caught Lily Slater in a lie as her baby drama continues to unfold.
The 12-year-old daughter of Stacey Slater discovered she was pregnant on New Year’s Day and made it clear she didn’t want anyone to know who the father was.
It eventually came out that Jack Branning and Sam Mitchell’s son, Ricky Jr was the father after he had sex with Lily in a one-off occasion.

Despite wanting to keep her pregnancy a secret, Stacey was forced to inform her family after social services made it clear they needed to investigate the possibility that Lily was abused.

As Stacey sat her extended family down, she asked her daughter: “You weren’t forced were you, Lil?” to which the youngster responded by shaking her head.
Everyone in the room was visibly shocked by the news, including Harvey who questioned: “You’re kidding? You can’t be serious? She’s like what, 12?”
And while it appears Harvey is just concerned for the granddaughter of his partner, fans seem to think there could be more to it than that.

Taking to Facebook with their theories, one fan asked: “Why do I find Harvey suspect concerning Lily?”
The post amassed a mix of responses from fans, with many agreeing as one responded: “I thought the same!”
“I think Harvey. His behaviour was shady,” echoed a second as another penned: “Hate to say it but me too.”
Speculating how it could be Harvey, someone else said: “Because there is this narrative that if an older man is nice to a kid he is creepy.”

Others completely shut down this theory however, making it clear it’s too far fetched for the fan-favourite character to be the father.
“I don’t see how anyone would possibly think it’s Harvey? What’s he done towards Lilly to make anyone ever think that?,” wrote one viewer.
Agreeing, another claimed: “It’s not Harvey. EastEnders are simply doing a teenage pregnancy storyline, Ricky is the Dad.”
A third added: “This really confused me I don’t think it’s Harvey at all.”
