EastEnders fans are convinced they've 'rumbled' how Rocky Cotton's downfall will happen, ahead of a devastating and deadly cafe fire, that is set to claim the life of one Walford resident.
In scenes which aired on Wednesday's visit to Albert Square, Rocky finally revealed his secret plan to set Kathy Beale's cafe on fire after discovering the electrics are faulty.
The scheme first came to light after Kathy was shocked once more by a dodgy plug socket at her place of work – but she had no idea her partner was planning to burn the place down to claim on the insurance.
As regular viewers will know, Rocky is secretly in debt after gambling his money away, and he owes Walford villain Nish Panesar a lot of money after he gave him a loan to try and combat his rising debts.
However, with threats from Nish to pay back what he's owed leaving him fearful, a desperate Rocky decided to cause a fire at the café with the hope of making it look like an accident due to the existing wiring faults.
Despite his elaborate scheming, viewers believe Rocky's actions will now be rumbled amid horrifying scenes due to unfold in the coming days, that will see Kathy's grandson Bobby Beale become trapped in the blaze.
One scene, in particular saw viewers predicting two ways in which he might be exposed for his crime.
After the recent kidnapping of the Sharon Watts' son Albie, the character decided to have CCTV installed outside her home to feel safer – but fans believe it may have also clocked Rocky leaving the cafe just before he started the terrifying fire.
The insurance scam itself is also far from foolproof, argued many fans, with several regular viewers speculating that it could take weeks or even months for an insurance payout to come through – and there's also the chance that Kathy might not have sorted out the insurance application. Could Rocky be planning a pointless fire if it won't help him pay off his debts?
One viewer shared their thoughts on Twitter, saying: "Even if Rocky set fire to the cafe – it would still take months for him to gain the money from insurance. Setting the cafe on fire is risky and totally pointless."
Another fan commented: "Rocky really will get shock when he realises he's started a fire but the insurance has lapsed. Such a fool!"
Before a third fan tweeted: "Sharon installing CCTV outside her house That is definitely going to catch Rocky out ahead of the fire."
EastEnders is on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm.
