The Six had reason to worry that Denise Fox (Diane Parish) would blow their big secret in tonight’s EastEnders (17th January 2024).

Since attacking Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) at Christmas, then witnessing Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) killing Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and helping her and the other women hide the body, Denise has been on a downward spiral.

At the same time, Denise’s marriage is hanging by a thread after husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) had a fling with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) – another member of The Six!

Denise suggested that she and Jack attended marriage guidance; but once there, Denise zoned out and wasn’t even listening as Jack explained how guilty he felt for cheating and how their troubles had affected him.

At home, Jack confronted Denise over her attitude during the session, and she suggested it might have been too soon to discuss their problems.

Meanwhile, with Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) having learned about the therapy session, she told the other women that Denise might end up revealing too much, leading detective Jack to get suspicious.

And when Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) relayed that Denise visited Nish to find out what he remembered, the panic within the group deepened.

Stacey bumped into Jack and tried to fish for information from the marriage guidance meeting, and Jack explained that he didn’t believe Denise had truly forgiven him for their night of passion.

But will he realise what she’s really holding back, or can The Six keep their misdeeds under wraps?
