'EastEnders' plot to test characters' relationship 'to the limit'

'EastEnders' Christian Clark and Syed Masood's relationship will be tested "to the limit" as they face a baby dilemma.

With Christian - played by John Partridge - desperate to father a tot after looking after best pal Roxy Mitchell's (Rita Simons) daughter Amy, he pushes his lover into a corner and forces him to make a decision on whether the pair should try for a baby.

However, after Syed (Marc Elliott) has a heart to heart with his sensible brother Tamwar (Himesh Patel), he may not be able to give Christian the family he craves.

An 'EastEnders' insider explained: "This is a massive story for Christian and Syed, and the impact of the baby dilemma will test their relationship to its very limits."

Meanwhile, after finding out her husband had been having a saucy affair behind her back, the return of Syed's estranged wife Amira (Preeya Kalidas) could cause chaos for the couple, especially if she reveals she is pregnant with Syed's child.

The source added to Inside Soap magazine: "Of course, what Syed doesn't know is that his wife Amira was secretly pregnant when she left him.

"No one knows when she could return to throw his new life with Christian into total chaos."
