An EastEnders actor was surprised by a major plot twist for the show's 40th anniversary.

It seems like Denise has a big decision to make, but in reality, it's up to you! EastEnders star Diane Parish recently shared her surprise about Denise Fox's love life taking center stage in the show's upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations. As we all know, the BBC soap will be marking its four decades on air with a special live episode that promises to be full of drama.

The highly-anticipated episode will also feature a massive explosion at the iconic Queen Vic pub, a wedding between beloved characters Billy and Honey Mitchell, and the reveal of the soap's current whodunnit – who attacked Cindy Beale? But that's not all, outgoing boss Chris Clenshaw had previously teased that viewers will have the chance to vote for the outcome of a romance storyline. And it has been confirmed that the viewers will decide whether Denise chooses her ex-husband Jack Branning or her old flame Ravi Gulati.

Discussing the groundbreaking moment, Clenshaw said, "We're all thrilled to give our audience the first-ever opportunity to shape one of our major storylines. Their votes will determine Denise's choice between Jack and Ravi, and the outcome will be revealed in the live episode. There's a lot in store for all three characters in the coming weeks, and it'll be incredibly exciting to see which direction the audience chooses to take the story."

Now, Diane has opened up about the moment she found out about the viewer vote. She reveals that she was shocked but also felt blessed to be a part of this story with two amazing actors, Scott Maslen and Aaron Thiara. "I love that the viewers are choosing between two men, not the blokes' choice," she says. "It's going to be interesting because I have chemistry with both of them in different ways. The viewers' choice will determine where the story goes next and what makes for great viewing. And of course, this is EastEnders, so expect plenty of drama!"

Diane also talks about the moment when Denise's daughter Chelsea finds out about her romance with Ravi, who was previously in a relationship with her. She says, "It happens on the street, in front of everyone – the Panesars, the Fox-Trueman-Brannings. Denise is mortified and humiliated, but her biggest concern is her daughter. She's devastated that Chelsea had to find out this way. She also feels guilty for what she's done to Jack, especially since he was feeling hopeful about their relationship."

But the ultimate question remains – who will Denise choose? Well, dear reader, that's entirely up to you! If you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, don't hesitate to send them our way.
