Chelsea Fox turns to Sharon Watts for some advice in the first look at Thursday's EastEnders (October 21).
New photos released by the BBC show Chelsea confiding in Sharon about her decision to raise her and Gray's child all by herself.
Chelsea discovered she's pregnant earlier in the week, then subsequently stunned ex-boyfriend Gray with the news that he would be a father once again.

Chelsea immediately warned Gray that she wanted him to have nothing to do with their baby's life because she wanted to raise it as a single mum.
On Thursday, Chelsea will stop by the gym for a heart-to-heart with single mum Sharon Watts about the practicalities of raising a child on her own.
Her talk with Sharon leads Chelsea to consider whether she's truly ready to completely support her child without any help from anyone.
Sharon found herself in a similar situation a few years ago when she had a fling with Keanu Taylor behind then-husband Phil Mitchell's back.
She would eventually become pregnant, leading to a shocking and violent showdown between Keanu and Phil that would change her life forever.
Keanu fled Walford in the aftermath of his clash with the Mitchells, while Phil dumped Sharon because he couldn't raise another man's child.
Sharon has finally found her footing raising baby Albie while running Walford's newly-opened gym, along with her long-lost brother Zack Hudson.
Chelsea will have to decide whether she's ready to completely change her life to raise her baby alone. Doing so would be in her best interests because Gray is actually a serial killer.
New scenes between Sharon and Chelsea will air on Thursday (October 21) at 7.35pm on BBC One.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
