The topic of moral high ground has been brought up among EastEnders fans. There seems to be a glaring flaw in a major storyline, and many viewers are in agreement. Denise and Jack have been struggling with what to do about Chelsea Fox, who recently confessed to her involvement in a club crush that occurred back in August. In the latest episode, a remorseful Chelsea had planned to turn herself in to the police, but she first wanted to make a stop at the hospital. There, she learned that one of the victims from the crush had awoken from his coma. Upon returning to the car, Chelsea shared this new information with Jack and her mother, and they realized that it could potentially impact the severity of her punishment.
Jack had an idea and decided to take Denise and Chelsea back to their home for a family meeting. He called everyone together, including Amy, Penny, Lauren, and Ricky. Jack explained that if Chelsea went to the police, she could face a harsher consequence than Penny. He then proposed that they vote on who to save. In the end, Jack made the final decision and chose to save Chelsea, even over his own daughter. While Penny was horrified, many fans couldn't help but point out the hypocrisy of the situation.
One viewer on the forum platform Reddit brought up the fact that most of the characters involved in this storyline have a criminal history. For example, Jack has a past of being a corrupt police officer and was responsible for putting Penny in a wheelchair. Denise has spent almost a year trying to cover up a murder. And Penny herself has a record of drug smuggling, theft, and negligence. It's ironic that they are all trying to claim the moral high ground.
But Penny isn't the only one who doesn't have the right to talk about morality. Another fan pointed out that even Lauren, who has been critical of Jack's actions, can't deny that he deserves the betrayal from Penny. When she needed his help, he refused to assist her, but when it's Chelsea in trouble, he's quick to save her. It's clear that many fans are calling out the characters for their questionable moral standards.
After the family vote, Penny left the house and was prepared to turn Chelsea in to the police. However, when she saw her with her son Jordan, she realized that he would be left without any parents if Chelsea also went to prison. In the end, Penny chose to back down and told Lauren that she will make sure that Jack pays for his betrayal. It seems like the soaps fans are not the only ones who have noticed the lack of moral high ground in this situation.
