Fans have loved watching Penny and Vinny grow closer (Credit: BBC) Vinny makes a grand gesture today Today’s EastEnders sees Vinny showing Penny how much he cares about her when he gives her a necklace. But it isn’t any old necklace, it is Indian gold and one he has put a lot of thought into. Penny is thrilled by the gesture, but Gina isn’t sure. However, she keeps her thoughts to herself. Penny is pleased with her necklace, but is shocked when Gina later reveals that it must have cost a fortune. Gina points out that Vinny’s gift was very expensive for a couple who haven’t been together that long. Penny points out they are having a baby together, so things are already happening fast, but it is clear Gina’s words have struck a chord. Later, Penny tries to talk to Vinny, telling him that she loves her necklace, but that she also loves spending time with him, and not his money. Vinny says he understands… but it seems he has already got another romantic gesture up his sleeve. Penny is stunned when he admits he’s found a shop for sale on Turpin Road and has already put a deposit down on it for her.

Penny confides in Oscar and Lauren that Harry might be the baby’s dad instead, ruining Penny and Vinny’s romance, but also Gina and Harry’s relationship if the news comes out.

Penny is shocked when she gets bad news at her baby scan next week (Credit: BBC) Fans are fuming with the ‘who’s the daddy’ twist Fans are rioting over this latest spoiler, and wish that writers could let Penny and Vinny be happy. They have taken to social media to share their frustration… “Why can’t they just let people get together, fall in love and be happy? I know it’s a show, but there doesn’t need to be unnecessary drama all the time,” said one fan on Reddit. Another viewer strongly agreed, pointing out that the storyline doesn’t make sense. “Ugh, I hate this so much. In the New Year’s Eve episode, there was a line where Penny was specifically complaining about how long it had been since she’d had any action. Yet now it’s revealed that she had been with Harry? “Plus, neither Penny nor Harry has shown any concern that he might be the father in any of the scenes about her pregnancy, since. You’d think Harry would at least have looked a bit panicked when Vinny told him in the Vic. Make it make sense!” Nicola works out Penny’s secret next week (Credit: BBC) “Penny struggling with the pregnancy as a disabled mum was compelling enough,” added another fan. “The romance with Vinny is building up so nicely, and now they want to add a ‘who’s the daddy’ storyline into the mix? Ugh, nobody wants this!” Someone else agreed: “Yes, me too. Don’t get me wrong, I love Harry, but I don’t want him to be the father. I love how Vinny has been stepping up, and he and Penny are just adorable together. I really hope the baby turns out to be Vinny’s.” “They are currently the only good thing for me in the show right now. I’m actually quite sad this is going to go down this route,” added a final fan.
