EastEnders viewers call for axe of 'hypocritical' character

Viewers outraged by character's behavior

EastEnders fans have taken to social media to demand the removal of a long-standing character they deem as 'hypocritical.' Jack Branning, portrayed by Scott Maslen, has been a fixture on the show since 2007, but recent events have left viewers calling for his exit.

Controversy over stepdaughter's confession

The outcry from viewers stems from a recent storyline involving Jack's stepdaughter, Chelsea Fox, played by Zaraah Abrahams. After Chelsea confesses to causing an accident at Peggy's club that left Jack's daughter injured, fans were quick to point out Jack's double standards in handling the situation.

Fans express frustration on social media

On social media platforms, fans criticized Jack's behavior, particularly in light of his own past actions on the show. Many pointed out the irony of Jack and Denise trying to take the moral high ground, given their involvement in previous criminal activities and cover-ups.

Calls for character's departure

Viewers expressed their frustration with Jack's character, with some calling for his removal from the show altogether. Despite his long history on EastEnders, it seems that some fans have had enough of Jack's demeanor and are eager to see him written out of the storyline.

EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available on iPlayer for those who want to catch up on the latest drama in Albert Square.
