EastEnders, the popular British soap opera, has left its fans bewildered with a major blunder in the storyline. Viewers were taken by surprise when Penny Branning made her explosive return on New Year’s Day. The episode revealed Lauren, Penny, and Louie Branning returned to Walford, but things took a dramatic turn when Lauren was arrested for drug smuggling.
While the storyline kept fans on the edge of their seats, it was Penny’s character that caught their attention. Despite having lived in France for the majority of her life, she did not have a French accent. Viewers took to social media to express their confusion, with one commenting, “Wouldn’t Penny have a French accent?” Another viewer added, “Penny’s French sounds like an English accent.”
The episode showcased Penny’s struggle to escape from a dangerous woman named Juliette. Determined to protect her son Louie, Penny made a hasty decision to return to Walford with Lauren. However, as they were about to board the Eurostar to London, the police discovered drugs in Lauren’s bag, leading to her arrest.
The upcoming episodes will expose Peter’s involvement in Penny’s secret drug-related activities. This revelation will infuriate Lauren, who will be furious with Peter for not disclosing the information. To make matters worse, when Lauren and Penny start looking for a new place to live, Peter objects to Louie living with someone involved in the drug world.
EastEnders fans can catch all the action from Monday to Thursday at 7:30 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
