EastEnders bosses have given fans a first glimpse at what’s to come following Denise Fox’s (Diane Parish) major relationship decision.
As part of the BBC soap’s 40th-anniversary celebrations, viewers have been given the power to decide Denise’s romantic future,
choosing between her former husband, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), and her passionate lover, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
While the official results of the fan vote remain under wraps, new spoilers for next week hint at what’s in store.
The Square is still reeling from the shocking events that unfolded at the Queen Vic explosion,
but amid the chaos, Denise and her new partner make a crucial decision: it’s time to go public with their relationship.
Denise Prepares to Reveal Her Choice
In upcoming scenes, Denise and her chosen partner agree to be upfront with their loved ones about their romance. The very next day, she gathers her family, the Fox-Truemans, at No. 20 to share the news. With emotions running high and tensions still simmering in the wake of recent Walford drama, how will they react to her decision?
Denise’s love triangle with Jack and Ravi has kept fans on the edge of their seats for months, with both men playing significant roles in her life. Jack, the father of her children and long-time love, has a history with Denise that spans years. Meanwhile, Ravi’s intense and illicit connection with her has ignited a passion she can’t ignore.
Filming Two Outcomes for Maximum Suspense
To keep the storyline a complete surprise, the cast and crew have gone to extraordinary lengths. During a recent appearance on This Morning, Diane Parish, Aaron Thiara, and Scott Maslen revealed they have been filming two different versions of upcoming episodes. This approach allows the show to seamlessly incorporate the fan-chosen outcome into the live anniversary episode.
Aaron explained to hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley:
“It’s been difficult the last few weeks because we’ve been shooting A and B stuff. We’re in April at the minute and we’ve done versions for after the live [episode]. It’s been double workload – more for Diane really.”
The interactive vote is one of the most ambitious audience participation initiatives in EastEnders history, allowing fans to have a direct impact on the show’s future.
How to Cast Your Vote

With the result being decided by the public, it’s set to be a historic moment in EastEnders history, as Denise’s fate is determined by the viewers themselves.
A Game-Changer for EastEnders
This unique interactive element has thrilled fans, adding an extra layer of excitement to the show’s milestone anniversary. The explosive events at the Queen Vic, combined with Denise’s personal turmoil, have ensured that this week’s episodes are must-watch television.
Will Denise choose to rekindle her marriage with Jack, or will she embrace the passion she shares with Ravi? One thing is certain—Walford is about to feel the impact of her decision for months to come.
