BBC EastEnders spoilers: Jack Branning pushes Denise Fox to confess as he pulls apart Keanu Taylor murder clues

Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) recently discovered that Denise Fox (Diane Parish) was the one to attack Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) in EastEnders on Christmas Day, and he has now started to realise that The Six’s version of events don’t seem to add up.

Denise’s attack on Nish wasn’t the only dramatic thing to happen on Christmas Day, as shortly afterwards Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) murdered Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) to save Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

In a bid to protect each other, The Six came up with an elaborate cover up which involved framing Keanu for the attack on Nish.

After burying his body beneath the café, The Six told police that Keanu had attacked Nish and held them all at knife point before doing a runner.

The pressure of keeping the secret and the guilt of what they’d done weighed heavy on Denise, and caused her to experience a psychotic episode, which she was soon admitted to hospital for.

While she was hospitalised, Stacey revealed to Jack that it was Denise who had hit Nish, and he soon began to suspect that they were still hiding something, as this version of events didn’t add up to their police statements.

Almost as soon as Denise came home, Jack began to question her over the events of Christmas Day, revealing that he didn’t understand why Keanu would run off if he was innocent.

He also pointed out that his fingerprints were on the bottle Denise had used to attack Nish, which also didn’t make sense.

As Denise grew flustered, she told Jack she would tell him the full truth, and proceeded to reveal that she had attacked Nish because he was attacking Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).

With this out in the open, Jack told Denise that she should confess, and they would argue reasonable force, but Denise was adamant that she couldn’t.

Viewers know that this is because of Keanu’s murder, but Jack couldn’t understand why she would want to keep it a secret, pointing out that it could affect his job.

Furious, Denise revealed that she hit Nish that hard because she had been riled up by her fights with Jack over the Christmas period, and made it clear that she didn’t like that he was putting his job before her.

In a bid to get him to drop the subject, she gave him an ultimatum: Forget about Keanu’s case and his job or lose her forever.

Will Jack choose life with Denise, or will he finally get to the bottom of The Six’s killer secret?
