Can the widower father Jack Branning pull himself together for the sake of his children in EastEnders?

It's only been a few months since the tragic death of his new bride, Ronnie, in EastEnders, so it's understandable that grieving Jack Branning is still coming to terms with his loss.

The fact he has three young children to look after only makes the Albert Square businessman's situation even more difficult, and it's clear to family and friends how much he's struggling.

Is there anything anyone can do to help Jack, or will he simply have to buckle down and make a plan to get his life back on track?
