Zack Hudson to become a dad again? EastEnders fans predict new twist after Lauren Branning fling
EastEnders fans are convinced that Zack Hudson and Lauren Branning will fall pregnant after they shared a passionate night together in the BBC soap EastEnders has unveiled another unexpected turn of events for Zack Hudson (James Farrar) as he spent the night with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), betraying her fiancé Peter Beale (Thomas Law). Just last week, Zack narrowly escaped a horrifying car crash after threatening to abduct Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman) upon discovering that he is the teenager's biological father. After Teddy's (Roland Manookian) car plunged into a lake, Zack was feared dead but had actually managed to evade the Mitchell family as he feared for his life. Barney was also informed about his true parentage after Zack persuaded him to leave the Square. Zack is also the father to baby Peach, who was tragically stillborn, and his young daughter Dolly, but viewers speculate that he might be on the verge of becoming a father for the fourth time. Elsewhere in the Square, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) was harshly confronted by her fiancé Peter Beale's (Thomas Law) anger over their son Jimmy Beale's severe sight impairment diagnosis, blaming Lauren's drug use during pregnancy. After a distressing confrontation with Peter, Lauren decided to break her sobriety by having a drink at the Queen Vic - but was turned away by fellow alcoholic Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), reports Belfast Live. Instead, she headed to Harry's Barn where she demanded a drink but was denied by Gina Knight (Francesca Henry). She then became irate before Zack arrived and convinced her to leave. Lauren, still intent on drinking, was at Zack's flat when he encouraged her to put the bottle down and engage in conversation instead. As she opened up about her troubles with Peter, Zack disclosed his own challenges with Barney, both feeling they hadn't lived up to their parental aspirations. The atmosphere shifted when Zack remarked on how fortunate Lauren's family was to have her, leading them to seek solace in each other's arms and culminating in a fervent kiss. On the following Tuesday (June 3), Lauren left Zack's residence and made her way to the café to confront Peter and Jimmy. Peter, however, hesitated to involve Lauren with their child after she had been out for the entire night. Towards the episode's conclusion, after attending an appointment at a private hospital, Peter ended things with Lauren, pointing the finger at her for Jimmy's ailment and threatening to take their two sons from her. Yet, there may be more drama unfolding as aficionados of EastEnders are now speculating that Lauren and Zack's heated encounter might lead to an unexpected pregnancy. A viewer speculated on X, posting: "And it was set up so that Lauren and Zack would sleep together baby no I've lost count #EastEnders." Another tersely commented: "Baby no 4 or something #EastEnders", while someone else added: "Pregnant by the end of the week #EastEnders." One fan ventured a guess, saying: "Lauren is gonna get pregnant by accident again with Zack #EastEnders".

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge teardown video reveals all
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge came out last month after much anticipation, and today it's been torn down on video by Zack at JerryRigEverything. The phone is easily opened through the back after applying some heat to the adhesive and then using a suction cup. Inside there are a lot of screws as you may expect. The vibration motor is super thin, but interestingly the waterproofing membrane over the speaker is tilted at an angle because of the phone's thinness. Battery removal is very easy, perhaps the easiest system on the market, which debuted on the other S25 devices. Obviously, the battery is where a lot of the thickness was cut in order to achieve the phone's 5.8mm profile. The company also removed "slivers of frame" wherever it could, Zack says, with the SoC directly in contact with the vapor chamber in the S25 Edge vs. the S25 Ultra. The middle layer of the baseboard is much thinner on the Edge too. Finally, the titanium frame actually uses an aluminum inner frame. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

EastEnders fans 'fuming' as soap confirms another dramatic affair
It was a dramatic night in EastEnders tonight as the soap confirmed yet another shock affair - and fans think they know exactly when the secret will be revealed It's been a dramatic time for relationships on Albert Square, and tonight's episode of EastEnders confirmed yet another shock affair in Walford. During tonight's episode, fans saw Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) struggle with her husband Peter Beale (Thomas Law), who hasn't been helping out with newborn son Jimmy after finding out he was blind. Cindy and Kathy Beale then stepped in to help - which led to a shocking revelation from Peter. Asked why he won't even pick Jimmy up, Peter exclaimed: "I can't look at him because it makes me angry. And I can't look at you because it's your fault." Kathy then butted in to tell her grandson he was out of order, but Peter was having none of it. "Why? Because the doctor said that her being as high as a kite is unlikely to be the cause? Well do any of you think it helped?" "She was meant to be protecting our son. My son is blind and I've got to pretend that his mum has nothing to do with the fact he'll never see my face," Peter exclaimed before storming out. A distressed Lauren then went out to find a drink, although Linda refused to serve her in the Vic, as did Gina in Harry's Barn. Zack then took her home - where he revealed all about being Barney's dad. As Lauren stood up to comfort him, things took a turn when she planted a kiss on his cheek, which led to the lips. It's not the first time the pair have explored a connection. Zack cheated on Whitney with her best friend Lauren weeks before her wedding with the revelation causing Whitney to call off the wedding and leave Walford. Now, fans think history is set to repeat itself at Lauren and Peter's wedding, should the day still go ahead. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "I don't condone cheating but in this instance you can't blame Lauren especially after the way Peter was with her tonight .He was so selfish and you can't speak to an addict in that way. "She has slept with Zack before so I saw that coming It'll come out at the wedding #EastEnders." Another responded: "Zack is on a roll with ruining weddings then," with another agreeing: "He really is!" Others were left fuming with the soap after putting Zack and Lauren together once again. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan questioned: "Why did we need lauren and zack again? #eastenders," as another wrote: "I cannot believe we are doing this again with Lauren and Zack. Like are we being serious right now??????????? #EastEnders". Will this just be a one time thing or will the connection between Lauren and Zack go even deeper?

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge durability test ends in a surprising result
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge just went on sale, and that means it was time to see how well it stands up to Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything and his gadget-breaking durability test. After the mandatory comparison between the S25 Edge's thin frame and various household objects (plus the less-mandatory spattering the phone with ice cream), Zack's video begins the dissection process with his mineral picks, in order to figure out how scratch-resistant the display is. The Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 material Samsung uses still scratches at the same Moh hardness levels as other flagship phones with different Gorilla Glass displays — light marks at level 6 and deeper ones at level 7. The Galaxy S25 Edge also withstands 30 seconds of flame from a lighter. Hopefully, your phone won't be exposed to fire like this, but it's good reassurance to have all the same. But we were all waiting for one thing in this video: the bend test. It's surprising how many phones fail to survive an attempt to fold it in half, given how thin modern phones can be. I'll admit I was nervous for the Galaxy S25 Edge as Zack prepared to snap the phone like he was breaking off a chunk of chocolate. However, likely due to the Galaxy S25 Edge's titanium construction, the phone barely even flexed. A small panel gap opened up when bending the phone from the front, but nothing broke, leaving the phone still operable. Although, you'd probably still want to take it in for repairs to ensure the phone remains IP68 water resistant. So, durability fortunately seems to not be an issue for the Galaxy S25 Edge, especially with the help of the best Galaxy S25 Edge cases for additional peace of mind and defence against scratches. However, it's only one consideration to make when looking at buying Samsung's new thin flagship. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. You may well like the look and feel of this light-but-large Galaxy phone, or its big and bright display, or its AI powers. But bear in mind that the small frame has led to a shorter-than-average battery life, one fewer camera than other S25 models and slow charging speeds despite the price of the phone. There's more detail in our Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review if you need it, although we must make it clear upfront — our particular testing method doesn't involve attacking phones with sharp objects.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra bend test doesn't end well
Oppo launched the Find X8 Ultra in April, and unfortunately it's a China-only device so most of the world will never see it. That hasn't stopped Zack from JerryRigEverything getting one in order to perform his famous durability testing on Oppo's latest flagship device. And it's an interesting test to say the least. It starts off normally with the glass on top of the screen scratching at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves showing up at level 7. The frame is metal, the screen takes an open flame for about 35 seconds, but no visible marks remain afterwards. Finally, the bend test is where things get bad. When bending from the back, nothing happens, but when bending from the front, the frame separates along the antenna line that's right in between the power and volume buttons. It doesn't get damaged any further, however, which makes for a very weird test result - it hasn't categorically failed, but it definitely hasn't passed either. And it now has an odd shape, and the IP rating might be compromised. At the end of the video you can find a bonus teardown section, so if you've always wanted to take a peek inside the Find X8 Ultra, make sure you don't miss it. And if you want to learn more about this device, read our in-depth review.
