Jack won’t see this coming. <\/p>
This article contains discussions surrounding self-harm that some readers may find upsetting.<\/em><\/p>\n Denise Fox (Diane Parish) braced herself to confess everything to husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) in tonight\u2019s EastEnders<\/a> (Monday 17th April).<\/p>\n For those who need a quick recap, some weeks ago Denise felt that Jack had pushed her away as he struggled to deal with his daughter Amy Mitchell\u2019s (Ellie Dadd) self-harming<\/a>. So, flattered by Ravi Gulati\u2019s (Aaron Thiara) attention, she enjoyed a series of kisses with him.<\/p>\n But upon joining Ravi at a hotel, Denise came to her senses and returned to her family<\/a> rather than making the mistake of sleeping with the other man. Later, she informed Ravi that Jack was investigating him in his detective role, so Ravi ordered Denise to hand him the evidence or he would tell Jack about their encounters.<\/p>\n When Denise refused to comply, Ravi romanced her daughter Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) in order to get close to what he wanted; but he ended up genuinely falling for Chelsea. Meanwhile, Ravi\u2019s son Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) overheard the truth and told Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega), who told Amy<\/a>!<\/p> Tonight, Amy refused to go to school and gave Denise the cold shoulder, and refused to open up when her stepmum approached her for a heart-to-heart. Amy began drinking, before leaving the house suddenly. Denise then snooped in her room, concerned that Amy might be hurting herself again.<\/p>\n Amy returned in time to catch her, and the teen exploded with anger as she blurted out that Denise had been \u201ccarrying on with Nugget\u2019s dad\u201d.\u00a0Stunned, Denise questioned Amy\u2019s words, but eventually was forced to concede that she had kissed Ravi \u2013 although she downplayed it somewhat. Denise explained that she and Jack were in a bad place at the time and she felt so lonely.<\/p>\n Able to identify with Denise\u2019s feelings, Amy accepted this explanation, but didn\u2019t respond when Denise wondered if she would be telling her dad. Amy fell silent as Jack and her brother Ricky Jr (Frankie Day) arrived home in a celebratory mood after Ricky\u2019s sporting success.<\/p>
