Jack Branning-What is the plan?
Like many last night I was watching Eastenders anticipating who would be the shock return, obviously Grant and Zainab were top of my list so when I heard Whitney say the words ''You've got a customer Ronnie'' and she looked round shocked I knew who it would be before we even saw him...
Jack was never a big favorite of mine first time round, I liked Scott Maslen in The Bill but as Jack I never really got excited about his character, for a start I dont think the Producers ever really understood what they wanted Jack to really be, he was described as an ex cop with a dark side yet unfortunately we never really saw that, he had a run in with King Philth (like everyone) and of course Jack lost and then he just went on ''single handedly impregnating the women of Walford'' as Glenda beautifully put it during Christmas 2011. His exit by Newman was quite frankly one of the worst exits I have ever seen and even the big Jack haters would argue he deserved more than leaving during a summer episode where the A plot was Miss Queen Vic competition hosted by Fatboy ![]() So now Jack is back what is the plan??, the thought of 12 months of on/off/on/off relationship tedium with Ronnie feels me with dread, Roxy (soon to be single again) would EE go their again with them two, I do hope not) The thought of Jack getting anyone else up the duff makes me groan. Have DTC and his team realized they never used Jack Branning last time to his full potential last time and now similar to Janes return this is gonna be Jack Act 2, already similar to Jane I can see Jack helping to cover up a murder (whoever is in the boot of that car). What I am hoping for is that Jack is actually back for justice for Max, remember the other night when Dennis revealed that Bobby had killed the spider we had a close up of Abi, seeing Abi and Jack work together to bring down the Beales would be perfect. I always rated Scott Maslen as an actor, I just though the writing and stories for Jack were mainly piss poor, Scott was amazing during infamous the baby swap and I honesty think because Jack was around at the height of the Branning domination that people just hated him because of his surname. Now the Brannings have basically been no more since Max was carted off Jack's return will start the return of the family, hopefully he may get Abi to remember what surname she has. Why Jack never went to Jim's funeral never sat right with me, the fact that they have been planning his return for 6 months means they could easily have got Jack back for the funeral but decided against it, I am hoping that will be addressed, we know tonight that Dot will be scattering Jim's ashes, I'm hoping Jack will redeem himself and be involved with that. I'm still very curious and skeptical about why Jack has returned, if its going to be like it was before then 2016 could be a horrendous year, if the show has learnt from its mistakes then it could be very good, we will wait and see. |

Only God knows why DTC is reuniting everyone from 2010 😂. I feel like a Rack reunion is on the list, seeing as there was a reason why Charlie was axed, especially with the rumoured Ronnie and Vincent relationship falling under.

The plan is for Jack to impregnate every woman on the Square, of course. Why else would you bring him back? He is The Sperminator, after all. A baby-making machine.
He'll no doubt be used by DTC for a big "Who's the Daddy?" pregnancy storyline next year. |

Part of me wonders if Jack is indeed there for Max and get to the bottom of Lucy's murder. Maybe he'll turn up at the Beale's place tonight wanting answers just as their family implodes.
I don't think he's intending to get back with Ronnie immediately but it's likely to happen. They got Phil and Sharon back together in the end. Seems like Charlie and Vincent were just placeholders. Hope Charlie comes back for at least one episode maybe to have some kind of custody arrangement for Matthew. He raised him for months while Ronnie was in hospital. With Jack around he might convince her to let Charlie see Matthew. Just as he's had Amy over in France for visits. |

Hopefully he's back as a moral compass - to clear his brothers name and to help get Ronnie back on track.
But I doubt it. He'll probably help Ronnie with her plans to get teach Vincent a lesson. |

Why don't we wait for 6 months and see where he goes from here to then before we judge his return?
Was never a HUGE fan of Jack myself either, but the same goes for Honey who I ADORE now |

Jack is actually the father of Stacey's baby. And kim's. And Kat's twins.
![]() . It is of my belief that Jack has the power to impregnate women just by thinking about them . It's a kind of psychic power that allows Jack to project his sperm into unwilling women . This would certainly explain how Jack was able to knock up Kim, Kat and Stacey despite not living in the Square at the time .

Even though I was really shocked as to see Jack back, it's obvious why he's here.
DTC loves making babies, and clearly to him, Albert Square needs a new influx of them. Enter, the SPERM BANK. |

. And I mean EVERYWHERE .He has kids in the farthest reaches of the world - Africa, Asia, Central America, even the North Pole. ![]() Also, I could've sworn the female bus driver on the 262, I took to work the other day, was Jack's long-lost daughter .
