EastEnders viewers share concerns about Denise Fox’s recent behaviour. Also, many fans wonder whether the character has a sudden illness or a surprise pregnancy. In fact, viewers have noticed Denise appearing unusually tired and unwell. Will a medical bombshell change everything for her? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Is There A Health Mystery Around Denise Fox?
Fans of the BBC soap think that Denise Fox might be pregnant. Viewers think that soaps often use unlikely medical twists for drama. However, others argue that this is impossible. It’s because Denise recently discussed the menopause with Honey. Elsewhere, a few people think the show uses a “cryptic pregnancy” plot to mislead the audience.
Many viewers also think that an illness is a more realistic explanation for her exhaustion. Also, ideas range from iron deficiency and thyroid issues to chronic fatigue. Some also notice an emphasis on her drinking habits in recent scenes. And they wonder if her health issues are linked to her time in the Vic.
Furthermore, the debate also involves Sam Mitchell and Zack Hudson. Some fans worry that Sam might be the one expecting a baby. Meanwhile, viewers are also frustrated at the idea of Zack having another baby. Also, fans feel that the soap gives Denise a major illness so sooon after Sam’s health issues would be too much.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “Surely not pregnant, she’s 57.” Another added, “In EE, that makes her far more likely to get pregnant, especially if she has a one-night stand.” Meanwhile, a third user wrote, “After today’s episode, I’m worried Denise is ill and Sam is pregnant.” To which someone said, “Hopefully Sam is not pregnant. Zack does not need any more kids and Denise being ill after Sam is terrible, hopefully not. I wonder what’s wrong with Denise, though, if it’s pregnancy that changes and confuses a lot of things.”
Also, a fan mentioned, “I suspect it might be something like chronic fatigue, iron deficiency or a thyroid issue. There are plenty of medical issues they can highlight without duplicating Honey’s menopause story or Sam’s cancer one. It would be ridiculous if she were pregnant. Clearly the flashforward is doing its job of making people jump to conclusions. But this seems to be an obvious red herring.”
Meanwhile, someone else asked, “Could her fatigue be liver/drinking-related? She does seem to drink a lot. It seemed emphasised in this episode (of course, they all drink constantly, and there are already three self-identified alcoholics in Walford)” And another jumped in saying, “I think she could have a cryptic pregnancy but I think Denise having an illness after Sam is too much.”
Meanwhile, what do you think could be the reason for Denise’s behaviour? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
