Penny's Pregnancy Hides Bigger Branning Secret
26 Feb
Summary
- Viewers speculate Jack's grief in 2027 flashforward is for Ronnie.
- Penny Branning is revealed to be pregnant with Vinny Panesar's child.
- New Year's Day 2027 marks the tenth anniversary of Ronnie Mitchell's death.

Speculation is rife among EastEnders viewers regarding Jack Branning's emotional state in a New Year's 2027 flashforward. While Penny Branning's absence and her pregnancy with Vinny Panesar's child have fueled theories about her fate, many fans believe Jack's distress is actually linked to his late wife, Ronnie Mitchell.
This theory gains traction as January 1, 2027, will mark the tenth anniversary of Ronnie Mitchell's death. Ronnie tragically drowned on her wedding day in 2017 while attempting to save her sister, Roxy. Some viewers suggest the flashforward is a red herring, intended to mask a storyline focused on Ronnie's memory or even her potential return.
Further complicating the narrative, viewers question whether Suki Panesar would allow her new grandchild to be raised by Jack, given her own desire for a child and recent adoption pursuits. This raises doubts about Penny and Vinny's paternity claim to the unborn child, Ethan.
