VIEWERS are growing increasingly convinced that Denise Fox will turn into a killer ahead of Christmas.
Coming up, however, the EastEnders favourite starts off the festive season with a major decision about her marriage.
The hairstylist played by Diane Parish has been met with major hurdles in her marriage to Jack Branning (portrayed by Scott Maslen).
Sadly, the couple face more ups and downs soon on BBC One and they may not be able to overcome them as Denise is set to opt for divorce.
In scenes due to air on our screens, Jack wakes at No.27 full of regret and lashes out at both of his children Amy and Ricky (respectively played by Ellie Dadd and Frankie Day).
After an important run-in in the Square, Denise tries to fight for her marriage.

Denise decides once and for all she wants to put an end to her marriage and packs a bag to leave, but she is stopped by a horrified Amy who flees from No.27.
Jack and Denise frantically search for Amy before they find her crying in the playground.
