EastEnders viewers will get the power to decide whether Denise Fox will patch things up with her estranged husband Jack or go for her secret lover Ravi Gulati in a ground-breaking interactive twist for the show.
For the first time ever, as part of the show’s 40th birthday celebrations, viewers get to vote for their choice of outcome, which will be revealed during a special live episode in anniversary week.
Last year, Denise (Diane Parish) and Jack’s (Scott Maslen) rocky marriage hit a breaking point when his affair with Stacey Slater came to light. Since then, they have had a few passionate encounters and shared some heartfelt moments as they navigate their blended family.
However, Denise has been secretly seeing former flame Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) since a romantic encounter on Christmas Day. Things are complicated between them due to Ravi’s troubled past, and the fact he used to be in a serious relationship with Denise’s daughter Chelsea.
There’s a lot to consider as viewers watch Denise torn between the two men, but ultimately, they will be able to vote on the outcome they want.
EastEnders Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said:
“We’re all so excited to give our audience their first ever chance to decide how one of our big storylines plays out. Their votes will determine whether Denise picks Jack or Ravi, with the outcome being revealed as part of our live episode. There is a lot to come over the next few weeks for all three involved, so it’ll be extremely exciting to see which way the audience choose to take the story!”
Details of how viewers can vote will be revealed in due course.
