EastEnders viewers have been speculating about the identity of baby Ethan's parents after the infant was introduced in recent episodes. The baby is being cared for by Jack Branning, leading some to assume he is the father, but fans have other theories.
Many believe the baby belongs to Jack's daughter Amy, possibly with Denzel Danes. Others have suggested Penny Branning, who was notably absent from the episode, could be the mother. Ricky Branning, already a young father, is considered less likely.
Fans took to social media to share their predictions. One wrote: 'Who is Ethan? That better not be Amy’s baby.' Another asked: 'Is baby Ethan Amy & Denzel's?' A third commented: 'Who's baby's that? Amy's?'
The episode also hinted at a dark event involving Jack, who was drinking heavily and seemed troubled. A comment suggested that Jack 'owed' his brother Max because 'if it wasn't for him, Ethan wouldn't be here,' implying Max may have saved the baby.
Meanwhile, fans are also speculating about a pregnant woman in Max's bed in a flash-forward to 2027. Many think it is Chelsea Fox, after she recently expressed attraction to Max. EastEnders continues Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
