During the episode, it was revealed that the public had voted for Denise to pick Jack.

When was the deadline to vote?

EastEnders opened the vote at 8.30pm yesterday, following the eventful hour-long special. The episode aired exactly on the 40th anniversary of the soap’s premiere on the BBC back in 1985.

The lines shut at 7.10pm tonight - twenty minutes before the start of the live episode. They were independently verified and handed to the EastEnders Executive Producer, Chris Clenshaw.

The script then threw out the losing script and quickly prepared to depict the drama on screen that reflects the decision chosen by the viewers.
