Penny has a big decision to make after a confrontation with Jack (Picture: BBC)
Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) is in serious trouble in EastEnders after having confessed to planting drugs on cousin Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa).
However, dad Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) believes that he can get them both off, provided that Penny gives up information on criminal boss Juliette.
Jack discovered Juliette’s involvement in Penny’s crime after a conversation with Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and was quick to pass the information on to his colleagues, much to Penny’s horror.
As Jack encouraged her to grass on her boss as part of a deal, Penny was reluctant to do so, pointing out that the last time someone she knew crossed a criminal she was left in a wheelchair.

When Penny was a child, she was knocked down by a car driven by a drug dealer Jack had arrested.
The dealer was sent to prison despite being innocent, thanks to Jack paying a drugs baron in order to receive tip-offs.
Determined to seek revenge against Jack for his wrongful imprisonment, the dealer deliberately drove his car into Penny and her mum, Selina, while they were waiting at a bus stop, with Penny’s spinal chord being severed in the process.
