Fans Choose Denise's Fate in EastEnders Live Episode

EastEnders celebrated its 40th anniversary with a live episode featuring a fan-driven storyline where viewers voted for Denise Fox's love interest, resulting in a reunion with Jack Branning. The episode also included dramatic events, such as a tragic accident at the Queen Vic pub resulting in Martin Fowler's death. Speculation arose when Kellie Bright, playing Linda Carter, possibly made an unscripted blunder by using the phrase 't**s-up' during the broadcast. Despite the drama, some fans and former cast members, like Cheryl Fergison, suggested that Denise might benefit from self-discovery rather than another romance. The episode marked a milestone in the show's history, showcasing the risks and excitement of live television.
