Denise Fox might have seemingly settled for Jack Branning in the dramatic live episode of EastEnders tonight, but Aaron Thiara, who plays Ravi Gulati on the soap, has teased that there’s more turmoil to come. The BBC actor took to Instagram hinting at the future drama: “You may think it’s the end. But we have only just begun…” followed by a heartfelt “Love you,” and shout-outs to co-stars Diane Parish and Scott Maslen, who bring Denise and Jack to life. Viewers have been glued to their screens as they watched Denise grapple with her choice between her spouse Jack and her affair with Ravi in the live show, ultimately choosing to reconcile with Jack in an emotional exchange. Denise made her way to Jack amidst the chaos of the Queen Vic fire to profess her feelings: “I feel safe with you Jack. I want to feel safe.”

However, a skeptical said: “What about Ravi? What about when you want a bit of danger?” Yet, Denise quashed any doubts, assuring him of her commitment: “I see a future with you Jack and our history – that runs deep. My feelings haven’t changed, I still love you.” Their heartfelt reunion, solidified with a cozy embrace, confirmed Denise’s decision—at least for now. But intrigue is brewing if Aaron’s enigmatic social media post is anything to go by. Away from the screen, EastEnders enthusiasts had the unique opportunity to cast their vote on Denise’s romantic fate through a poll which wrapped up just before the live extravaganza kicked off. In addition, another audience-voted plot twist saw Sonia’s baby being christened Julia after much anticipation. However, not all viewers were thrilled with Denise’s choice of Jack, with some branding it the “boring” option. One disgruntled fan tweeted: “What boring b*****ds voted for jack ugh what a YAWN FEST #EastEnders #EastEnders40 #EELive,” Another chimed in: “Denise is p*****g me off. this was the wrong choice #EastEnders40,” reports the Mirror. The episode also dealt a crushing blow to some of Albert Square’s families as Martin Fowler met a tragic end, crushed under a concrete beam. The heart-breaking scenes saw Martin go into cardiac arrest the moment the beam was lifted, having just proposed to Stacey. Now, fans are on tenterhooks, speculating that Stacey could be Walford’s next casualty after losing her soulmate in tonight’s episode. Last night’s episode saw EastEnders villain Reiss Colwell meet his demise after being crushed by a falling bath in the burning Queen Vic.
