Jack Branning is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Scott Maslen. He made his first appearance on 29 October 2007. He is the youngest child of Jim (John Bardon) and Reenie Branning (Joy Graham) and the brother of April Branning (Debbie Arnold), Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson), Derek (Jamie Foreman), Suzy (Maggie O'Neill) and Max Branning (Jake Wood). The character was introduced to the show during a period when EastEnders was being routinely criticised in the media for its reliance on resurrecting old characters. The casting of Maslen provoked some controversy, being the first time an actor had been poached from one mainstream soap to another. It was quickly established that Jack is a morally ambiguous character with a murky past in the police force resulting in the paralysis of his young daughter, Penny (Mia McKenna-Bruce). On 1 July 2019, Maslen filmed his 1,000th episode as Jack. Maslen took a two-month break from the role in October 2010 to participate in the 2010 series of Strictly Come Dancing, returning in December 2010. Maslen made an indefinite departure from the role on 15 October 2013 after six years on the show. Having turned down a chance to return to the role in April 2015, Jack made a previously unannounced return on 24 December 2015, before leaving once again on 1 January 2016. Maslen returned to filming during the same month and Jack returned on-screen on 1 March 2016. Jack has been involved in several key storylines and has embarked on feuds with his brothers, Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman), as well as Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky), Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks), Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett), Hunter Owen (Charlie Winter), Ray Kelly (Sean Mahon), Ravi Gulati...
