Could Jack Branning be Hunter Owen’s next victim as #EastEnders CONFIRMS ...

Jack (played by Scott Maslen) has been preoccupied with his new romance to Denise Fox (Diane Parish) in recent weeks of EastEnders, unaware his ex Mel (Tamzin Outhwaite) is secretly scheming against him for helping to put her son Hunter (Charlie Winter) behind bars.

The BBC soap got off to a dramatic start this year, with Hunter shooting his mother’s bigamist husband Ray Kelly (Sean Mahon) and Mel going on to desperately cover for her son before the pair made an unsuccessful attempt to flee the Square as the police closed in.

Mel had recruited Jack to try and help Hunter escape police capture, but little did she know the former police officer had rallied the troops to arrest her son, with the distraught mother going on to seek revenge on her ex.

With Hunter currently in jail having pleaded guilty to the charge of murder earlier this year, viewers may have expected this would be the last they would see of the young killer, but it has now been confirmed the Owen boy will be making his return in the coming weeks.

It’s not yet known in what capacity Hunter will make his return, but with Mel going to desperate measures to get her son out of prison, could she end up helping her son break free from jail?

If Hunter makes his way back to the Square, he could lie in the shadows, waiting to commit yet another murder as he targets Jack for getting him put behind bars in the first place.

Or will the young killer take his freedom as a chance to flee the country, urging his mother Mel to join him as he knows he can never return to Walford?

Viewers will have to wait and see how Hunter’s dramatic return unfolds, but actor Charlie Winter’s, 23,
