A Feud That Won’t Quit

EastEnders viewers have had plenty to say about the ongoing battle between Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati. What started as a love triangle involving Denise Fox has now spiraled into a dangerous game of secrets, lies, and life-threatening consequences. But after the latest episodes, many fans believe the storyline has gone too far — and they are calling for it to finally end.

Jack’s hatred for Ravi has been simmering for months. He’s desperate to expose Ravi’s shady dealings, but his obsession is starting to cost him his judgment — and possibly his career.

A Gun, a Fight, and a Dangerous Cover-Up

Last week’s explosive scenes saw Jack and Ravi fighting over a stolen gun. Their clash led to a tragic twist when Zoe Slater was accidentally shot. Since then, Jack has been questioning whether to confess his role in the ordeal or let Ravi take the fall.

Instead of coming clean, Jack made a reckless choice. He tried to plant the gun in Ravi’s home, hoping to frame him as the man responsible. But his so-called detective work left viewers shaking their heads. Jack fumbled with obvious cover stories, including pretending to fix a boiler, and nearly got caught red-handed when Priya Nandra-Hart returned home unexpectedly.

Ravi Fights Back

Ravi, never one to be outsmarted, quickly pieced the situation together. After Denise mentioned the suspicious boiler excuse, Ravi realized Jack was hiding something. Wasting no time, Ravi confronted him and exposed Jack’s role in the shooting to Denise. Whether Denise believes him or not remains a mystery, but the damage has been done.

This twist should have raised the stakes. Instead, many fans feel it’s proof that Jack has lost his edge and Ravi’s storyline has lost its spark.

Fans React with Frustration

The fallout spilled onto social media, where frustrated viewers vented about the writing and the direction of the feud.

One Reddit user mocked Jack’s poor choices: “First the code of 1234 on his safe? Really??! It’s not like he was hiding a dangerous weapon or anything. Then planting the gun in broad daylight with gloves on? You couldn’t make this up.”

Another commented on Jack’s lack of subtlety: “The way he hid behind the door today. Like he was some kind of master of stealth. It was laughable.”

Others think Jack should leave the police force altogether. “The writers need to end Jack as a cop already,” one viewer wrote. “He always comes off as bent, plus he’s just not believable anymore.”

And Ravi didn’t escape criticism either. A fan admitted: “I’m not feeling gangster Ravi this time. It feels flat. He was much more compelling when he first arrived.”

Time to Wrap It Up?

What was once a fiery rivalry now seems to be dividing fans. Many believe it’s time for the show to wrap up the Jack vs. Ravi feud and give both characters fresh direction. The plot twists, while dramatic, feel repetitive to some viewers who want the story to move forward rather than circle back into cover-ups and weak detective work.

Whether the writers will listen to fans remains to be seen. But as the gun drama escalates, one thing is clear: Walford might not be big enough for both Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati for much longer.
