EastEnders viewers are convinced Jack Branning (played by Scott Maslen) is headed for a new romance with an unlikely character.
In recent episodes of the BBC One soap, Penny Branning ( Kitty Castledine) has been getting cosy with Walford newcomer Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), against her dad Jack’s wishes.
In a bid to break Penny and Harry up, the policeman did some digging and found Harry had been accused of killing his ex following a row, after which she had vanished.
Harry later explained the details surrounding Shireen’s disappearance to Penny who believed he was telling the truth.
But Jack punched Harry in the street, which was captured on video by Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall).

Using the footage to blackmail Jack into helping move stolen cars – Harry has made an enemy in copper.
In forthcoming episodes, Jack is set to delve deeper into Shireen’s disappearance as he tries to take the Mitchell down.
But in an unlikely twist, some EastEnders viewers claim to see chemistry between the two men with others predicting romance is in the air.

A second explained: “OKAY BUT @bbceastenders why do I kinda want this Jack and Harry storyline to go further if you know what I mean it’d be so hot! #EastEnders.” (sic)
A third chimed in: “The chemistry between Harry and Jack is unrivalled #EastEnders.” (sic)
