EastEnders has unveiled a first look at Jack Branning and Denise Fox's shock passion, while also teasing a showdown for David Wicks and Junior Knight. A sneak preview of Wednesday's (October 9) episode has revealed that estranged couple Jack and Denise could reconcile in the wake of a difficult time for their family. With Jack still blaming older daughter Penny for the crowd crush at Peggy's nightclub that injured his young daughter Amy Mitchell, there is a lot of bad blood in the Branning household.
There is a further wrinkle that could impact this reunion, as Denise has kept daughter Chelsea Fox's secret that she is to blame for the crowd crush at Peggy's. Chelsea meddled with the club's booking system as revenge for Penny replacing her as the new manager on the night of the crowd crush.
Meanwhile, David Wicks will come face-to-face with Junior Knight in the Queen Vic for what may end up being a heated showdown. These scenes will air in EastEnders' episode streaming on BBC iPlayer and later airing on BBC One on Wednesday.
Cindy has been having an affair with Junior for weeks, all the while desperately trying to keep soon-to-be-fiancé Ian Beale and her ex-husband George Knight (also, Junior's father) from finding out. David learned this week that Cindy is alive, having previously thought she'd died in prison after arranging a hit-man to kill Ian in a botched plot in 1998. The soap has confirmed that Cindy will make a major decision about her future in the wake of David's surprise visit to Walford.
In scenes airing next week, Cindy decides to commit to Ian by accepting his marriage proposal. When she tells Junior their fling is over, he tries to make her jealous by flirting with Priya Nandra-Hart. Will Junior finally reveal the truth about his affair with Cindy?
