Jack begs Denise to put herself first (Credit: BBC) Yolande’s words help Jack With Yolande’s wise words ringing in his ears, Jack goes to find Denise at the hospital. He begs her once again to get herself on the ward, telling her that he loves Jordan just as much as she does, but that he is going to live – whereas she might not. Denise knows that he is right. She tells him that she needs to be with Chelsea right now, but promises to start her treatment in a few days. But while fans are desperate for Denise to get better, they have all noticed one thing about this storyline that has made it so much better, and that is that last year, the viewers’ poll saw Denise choose Jack instead of Ravi. Fans have noted that this would be an entirely different story if Ravi were the one by Denise’s side right now. In light of his recent mental breakdown and disappearance from the Square, he wouldn’t be the rock that she needs. Denise promises to start her treatment soon (Credit: BBC) EastEnders fans have their say about Denise Fans have pointed out that while Jack might not have always got it right in their relationship, this is his chance to step up. “I am so, so glad Jack won the poll last year,” said one fan on Reddit. “This story works so much better with him rather than Ravi. Scott Maslen and Diane Parish work so well together.” Another fan agreed: “So right! I said the same thing last week. Ravi wouldn’t be much support to her from goodness knows where.” Over on X, EastEnders viewers were saying the same thing about Denise and Jack. “Jack might have made mistakes in the past, but he’s definitely the one who can help Denise through this dark time,” said one fan. While a second echoed: “Scott and Diane are going to ace this storyline, I can just tell. Jack and Denise are made for each other. Ravi would have run a mile by now!” Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
