EastEnders is lining up a surprise baby twist involving Martin Fowler and Zack Hudson.

The new friends will get a shock when a 1-year old baby is left on their doorstep, instructing the father to look after her.

At the start of the week, Sharon will be approached by angry stranger Neil, whose daughter has been heartbroken by Zack.

Sharon covers for him but questions Zack over whether this behaviour is all because of his recent breakup with Nancy.

While Sharon encourages Zack to talk to Nancy, he panics when Neil tries to confront him and pretends to be Martin instead.

Unfortunately, Zack's white lie has chaotic consequences when the case of mistaken identities leaves both him and Martin in sticky situations.

Sharon then offers to take Zack and Martin out for dinner to cheer them up.

However, when the three of them return home, they are shocked to find a surprise on their doorstep – a 1-year-old baby on the doorstep with a note, 'Alyssa is yours, please take care of her'. But who is the daddy? And will they be able to rise to the challenge?
