BBC EastEnders viewers ‘work out’ worrying new storyline for Denzel after phone clue
EastEnders viewers think teenager Denzel Danes will be at the centre of a worrying new storyline on the BBC soap, after comments he made in the latest episode
EastEnders fans think a new twist is on the way for teenager Denzel Danes after trouble this week.
The character was attacked by a group of school kids after he dared to take on troublemaker Logan, who had taunted his girlfriend Amy Mitchell. Amid Logan’s age sparking confusion with viewers, the character teased Amy over her recent mental health battle, with the character self-harming.
Denzel ended up having a go at the character, only for him to be attacked by Logan and some others down an alley. As Yolande Trueman raced to help him she fell over, leaving the group laughing at her before running off.
The fact that Denzel couldn’t take on Logan and was unable to help Yolande has left him embarrassed and struggling. In the fallout, he hit the gym and took on boxing with pal Nugget in a bid to build up his strength.
But he left his pals concerned on Thursday as he seemed disengaged with them, and instead was obsessing over gym videos online on his mobile. As well as watching fitness videos, he was shown eating loads of fried chicken “for the protein”, before ditching Amy in favour of going back to the gym.

Viewers watching the scenes unfold were convinced there was more to the scenes, and that a new storyline was being signalled for the teenager after seeing him glued to his phone. A key theory was that Denzel would become obsessed with the gym and fitness, and might even turn to steroid use after the incident with Logan.
Taking to X, one viewer predicted: “I’m wondering what storyline #EastEnders has lined up for denzel. We had him get beat up and bullied hes not joined a gym and he seems to becoming obsessed. Steroid abuse? Will he be the next murderer? God knows but be interesting to find out!”
Another fan commented: ‘What’s with Denzel and eating all the chicken and watching the boxing/gym stuff – this is definitely going to be a storyline isn’t it.” A third viewer wrote on X: “I wonder if Denzel is going to go down the steroid route?” while a fourth fan of the BBC soap agreed: “Calling it now, Denzel will be on steroids soon.”
