EastEnders fans hit out as Jack Branning enjoys a conga less than a week after niece Abi’s death
Grief is fleeting in EastEnders. One minute you are standing solemnly around the deathbed of your tragically young niece as members of your family break down and less than a week later, you are leading the cheers in a pub which has been saved from being sold elsewhere. That Jack Branning is a tough cookie!
While Jack knows all too well how hard loss can be after he lost Ronnie, it seems that the longevity of his heartbreak doesn’t extend to Abi as despite her death less than a week ago, Jack was buzzing off his skull after finding out that the Carters were staying in the pub after all.
Declaring that it was the best news in a long time, a deliriously happy Jack whooped and cheered, all thoughts of Abi, Lauren and Max seemingly forgotten while Mick sang Doing The Lambeth Walk while pouring out free drinks, someone broke everyone else’s necks to get to the piano first and Karen Taylor led a conga line through the marketplace.
Fans were not buying it. Not one bit.
Just caught up on tonight’s #EastEnders and noticed Jack hammered on champagne cheering on a “CONGAAAAAA!” a week after Abi died! Bizarre

As if Jack’s out doing the conga down the square when his nieces life support has just been switched off. #EastEnders

Let’s just put it down to Jack having a very thick skin. Despite viewers not thinking much of this flaw to the celebrations, many were still overjoyed by the outcome that the Carters are keeping their beloved boozer.
so happy that mick and Linda save the Vic in EastEnders so they are staying

And who said that EastEnders was nothing but misery? All together now: ‘Doo, doo, doo – come on and do the conga! Doo, doo, doo…’
