Howie to 'turn dark' in an attempt to emulate Vincent, fans predict
Howie's feeling the pressure
Fans of EastEnders have predicted that everyman Howie Danes will turn ‘dark’ in an attempt to emulate Kim’s ex, Vincent Hubbard.
It’s been a tough week for Howie (or night, given that this week’s episodes have all unfolded over the same day so far), between his money problems and Kim comparing him to her ex-husband.
Howie was already feeling humiliated after being unable to pay for an expensive festival trip for son Denzel. He went to see Nicola about a bouncer’s job at Harry’s Barn, but the distracted nightclub owner more or less laughed him out of the door.

Back home, he overheard Kim talking about how she missed life with Vincent, and how he used to provide for her. Upset, Howie turned to gambling with Patrick to raise the money for Denzel, and later got into an argument with Kim over what she had said.
He then returned home, finding Patrick unconscious on the floor. As Howie called an ambulance, the culprit – Oscar – rushed for the door.
But what will Howie do as the situation continues to unfold? The poor mailman’s been pushed to the brink, and fans are worried that he’s only going to get worse from here.
Howie to try and emulate Vincent, EastEnders fans predict
As last night’s scenes aired, fans shared their thoughts on Howie’s current trajectory. And some wondered whether the family man might be headed down a darker path. While some have predicted that a gambling addiction might be in his future, others have suggested that a turn to the ‘dark side’ might beckon.
“I think Howie is gonna develop a complex or he’s gonna try and be more like Vincent. Which could be a bad thing,” wrote one fan on X. They continued: This could lead to Howie going down a dark path or eventually leaving Kim. It looks like he may have had enough.”
Another suggested: “He’s starting to show traits of Vincent and I don’t know whether that’s a good or a bad thing yet.”
“The Dark Side Of Howie Needs To Come Out Lol Remember How He Entered The Show,” said a third.
How far will Howie go to provide for his family and prove Kim wrong?
