The life Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) had made with fiancé Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) came crashing down in recent EastEnders scenes, as she learnt that their relationship had been built on lies.
While Kathy had been organising their dream wedding, Rocky had been haunted by a terrible secret: He was still married.
He confessed the truth to Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) in a previous episode, who looped in partner Reiss (Jonny Freeman) for help.
The three of them came up with a plan to track down Rocky’s wife, who he married 20 years ago, and get a divorce sorted without Kathy ever knowing.
Unfortunately it proved more difficult than they originally thought, and Rocky decided that he couldn’t keep it to himself any longer.
Approaching Kathy at work, he confessed that he had lied about not being married before, which didn’t go down well…
Kathy was even more infuriated to learnt that he hadn’t bothered to get a divorce, and, in an emotional scene, ended things with him there and then.
When Rocky arrived at the car lot following the fall out, he found Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) spraying incorrectly spelt expletives on the car window, which he said came from Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell), who had found his nan upset not long before.
It didn’t take long for Freddie to reveal that he had lent Reiss a helping hand earlier on, and had managed to track down the elusive Jo Cotton (Vicki Michelle).
He revealed that he had given her Kathy’s address, leaving Rocky absolutely horrified.
However, it was too late for him to do anything about it, as a heartbroken Kathy opened the door to find Jo already on her doorstep…
Is there set to be a big showdown?
