Sam and Zack had a heart-to-heart (Credit: BBC) Denise quietly drops a bombshell in EastEnders iPlayer episode As Sam returns home, her party is over and instead she has a chat with Denise in the kitchen. Denise has worked out that the party was too much for Sam. Sam admits that being cancer-free was brilliant but also going to take some time to get used to, and thanked Denise for forcing her to get the lump checked out early. The pair have a lovely and very frank conversation, during which Sam says that she feels old after facing death for the first time in her life. Denise admits she has also been feeling shattered recently, but at least Sam has an excuse for feeling tired. Denise jokes that if she went to the GP to talk about her tiredness, they would diagnose her with ‘being ancient’ – but fans are convinced this is more than a simple passing comment. Denise tells Sam she has been feeling exhausted in today’s EastEnders (Credit: BBC) EastEnders fans are convinced that Denise is pregnant Viewers took to social media to share their theories, and they’re all sure Denise is in the family way… “Oh God, Denise has been feeling knackered? I doubt that’s just a throwaway line. Are they hinting that she’s pregnant?” said one fan on Reddit. Someone else agreed: “I thought they were definitely hinting at it on today’s episode. Everyone is so convinced Ethan is Penny’s baby. But he could be Jack and Denise’s all along.” A third echoed: “I’m calling it. Denise is the one who is pregnant!” With fans convinced that Denise could be having a baby, this changes everything we thought about the flashforward episode. If the baby Jack’s looking after in the flashforward is his child, this bodes well for Penny, too. Fans have become convinced that Penny could die by the end of the year, and this is why Jack is looking after baby Ethan. But if Denise is having a baby, maybe Penny will be okay after all.
