“Every area can have its problems but this area just hasn’t been like that until now and I don’t feel safe here anymore. I’ve got my young daughter to think of.”

Jack reveals David Platt’s storyline changes
Recently, Jack revealed that his character David had a break from his usual angst on the cobbles.
Bosses switched up David’s reaction to wife Shona Ramsey’s brain injury and memory loss as a result of Daniel Osbourne’s storyline.
Jack explained on a virtual press day: “While David would usually take his anger out on his family and neighbours on the cobbles, show bosses wanted his journey to be different to Daniel’s.

“They wanted to go down a different route to how he’d normally react in that situation. Usually he’d go off the rails, but they didn’t want to do that.
“At the time, Daniel’s story was that he was getting upset, lashing out and being angry at different things.
“So they wanted David to do something different and turn into an adrenaline junkie.”
EastEnders is now back airing four episodes a week, but they are slightly shorter as a result of the pandemic.
