EastEnders fans are once again facing the looming possibility of a dramatic love triangle involving Denise Fox, Ravi Gulati, and Jack Branning. In a recent episode (Thursday, June 5), the soap reignited old tensions between Denise and Ravi, sparking concern among viewers that the complicated dynamics between the trio could soon take centre stage once more.
At Kat and Alfie’s ‘hag’ do, the evening took a flirtatious turn when Denise exchanged playful banter with Ravi, teasing him about not following the event’s dress code. The chemistry between them was undeniable as Ravi smiled at Denise, and she smiled back, a clear spark still lingering. As Denise returned to her sister Kim, she assured herself that she’d made the right choice in staying with Jack. However, the interaction with Ravi raised eyebrows among fans, who began to wonder if this was really the closure they had hoped for in the ongoing saga between Denise and her former flame.
Fans React to the Possible Return of the Love Triangle
Despite Denise’s apparent decision to stick with Jack, some viewers were left frustrated by the flirtatious moment between her and Ravi. Many fans took to social media, expressing their concerns that the love triangle might soon make a return. One fan wrote on X: “Please not another Ravi Denise storyline,” while another commented: “Oh here we go. What was the point of the vote for Denise if they are sniffing after each other again?”
It seems that the tension between Denise and Ravi is far from resolved. Although Denise had publicly chosen Jack in a vote earlier this year, which led to a brief reconciliation, the temptation to fall back into old habits with Ravi continues to hang over her. One viewer remarked, “Omg, is this going to continue for the rest of this year? Denise constantly being tempted to cheat on Jack with Ravi, again…”
This latest interaction between Denise and Ravi has left fans questioning whether Denise has truly made up her mind, or if she is still conflicted between the two men. Is her brief moment of flirtation a sign of unresolved feelings for Ravi, or is it just a fleeting encounter?
Denise’s Decision: Jack or Ravi?
The love triangle has been a major storyline in recent months. Earlier this year, the soap asked fans to vote on who Denise should be with: her husband Jack or the smooth-talking Ravi. During the 40th anniversary special in February, the decision was revealed when Denise made her choice. She went to Jack’s door, rejecting Ravi’s advances and solidifying her commitment to Jack.
However, Jack’s current absence in Walford has led to some fans speculating about the stability of Denise’s relationship with him. Jack is currently in Norwich, visiting his sister, and with his absence, it seems that Ravi has been lurking in the background, ready to reignite the past. Denise’s ongoing temptation suggests that the conflict within her could still be very much alive.
What’s Next for Denise, Jack, and Ravi?
With the stage now set for more drama, it’s unclear how the storyline will unfold. Will Denise stay true to her commitment to Jack, or will the chemistry with Ravi lead her to make yet another complicated decision? Fans are divided, with some wanting to see Denise and Jack continue their marriage, while others are intrigued by the idea of her rekindling things with Ravi.
As the love triangle continues to cast a shadow over Walford, EastEnders fans are eagerly awaiting to see what comes next. Will Denise’s brief flirtation with Ravi lead to a major shift in her relationship with Jack, or will she stand by her husband despite the tempting advances of her past lover?
One thing’s for certain: drama is never far behind in Walford, and the latest twists in Denise’s love life promise to keep fans hooked for weeks to come.
