EastEnders fans are buzzing with speculation that Jack Branning, played by Scott Maslen, could be heading for an unexpected romance with a surprising character.
Recently, Jack’s daughter Penny Branning, played by Kitty Castledine, has been growing closer to newcomer Harry Mitchell, portrayed by Elijah Holloway, much to Jack’s disapproval. In an attempt to separate the pair, Jack, who works as a detective, uncovered accusations that Harry may have been involved in his ex-girlfriend Shireen’s disappearance after a heated argument.
Harry later provided his side of the story, convincing Penny of his innocence. However, tensions escalated when Jack physically confronted Harry in public, an altercation that was caught on camera by young Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall).
Using the footage to his advantage, Harry coerced Jack into helping him move stolen cars, further angering the detective.
As the drama unfolds, Jack is set to dig deeper into the mystery surrounding Shireen’s disappearance, determined to bring Harry down. But some viewers are sensing a spark between Jack and Harry, with growing speculation about a potential romance between the two.
One fan shared on X: “Am I the only one seeing Harry flirt with Jack? #EastEnders.” Another said: “Okay, but why do I kinda want to see Jack and Harry take this further? It would be so hot! #EastEnders.”
Another commented: “The chemistry between Harry and Jack is unmatched #EastEnders.” Meanwhile, another intrigued viewer noted: “Why does Harry sound like he’s trying to seduce Jack?”
