Ever since EastEnders aired the jaw-dropping flashforward at the start of the year, fans have been in full detective mode – and now, with new spoilers confirming Penny Branning is pregnant, viewers are seriously worried the storyline could end in tragedy.
Next week in EastEnders, Penny discovers she is expecting after sleeping with Vinny Panesar.
The pregnancy is far from planned, but Penny is prepared to talk through her options. Sadly, her dad, Jack, does not react in the way she might have hoped.
EastEnders: Penny’s baby bombshell
After Jack finds a pregnancy test at home during a Branning family Sunday lunch, he initially thinks it belongs to Lily. However, it soon turns out to be Penny’s.
When Penny later takes the test, she lies to her dad that it was negative. But he soon discovers she fibbed, and all hell breaks loose when he doesn’t show her the support she needs.
Later, Vinny learns Penny is expecting and races to be by her side. The pair head to the doctors to talk about their options and, after careful consideration, they make a decision about their future.
Fans fear for Penny in EastEnders
The news that Penny is pregnant has left viewers fearing for the character’s future after watching the New Year flashforward episode.
Some fans had already guessed that baby Ethan, who Jack is looking after in the flashforward episode, could be Penny’s baby after she slept with Vinny.
However, now that the pregnancy storyline has been confirmed, fans are worried this means Penny is being killed off.
