EastEnders fans are abuzz with speculation that Jack Branning, played by Scott Maslen, might enter a romance with an unexpected character. In the recent plotlines of the BBC One drama, Penny Branning, portrayed by Kitty Castledine, has been growing close to fresh face Harry Mitchell, enacted by Elijah Holloway; much to her father Jack's disapproval. Attempting to split Penny and Harry apart, Jack, who is a detective, discovered troubling accusations that Harry allegedly caused his ex-girlfriend to disappear after a heated argument.
After Harry shared his version of events about Shireen's vanishing act, Penny was persuaded of his innocence. However, tensions rose when Jack assaulted Harry in public, and the incident was caught on camera by young Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall), reports the Daily Star . Harry now uses the video as leverage, forcing Jack to aid in the transport of hot cars earning Jack's ire in the process.
Upcoming episodes promise to see Jack delve into Shireen's mysterious disappearance further as he aims to topple the Mitchell lad. Yet, some viewers are predicting an unexpected turn, sensing a spark between Jack and Harry, with theories swirling around a budding romance. One viewer posted on X: "I'm not the only one seeing Harry flirting with Jack right? # EastEnders .
