EastEnders: Linda clashes with Elaine over the pub
EastEnders hardman Rocky Cotton (played by Brian Conley) has kept his previous marriage a secret from his girlfriend Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) and the rest of the square.
However, he is set to receive a pretty big shock when his estranged wife turns up in Walford, determined to have it out with him.
Rocky is hellbent on making things right with Kathy as she has had her heart set on being a bride for a while.
Earlier this week, with Kathy believing that Rocky was a free agent, the pair met with the vicar to discuss getting married in a church.
Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) however found out about Rocky already being married after he broke down and spilled the beans.
The nurse was ready to tell his secret to Kathy, but some advice from Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) led her to have a change of heart, as she resolved to help the former con-man track down his ex so that he may get a divorce.
In upcoming scenes, Rocky is shocked when Jo (Vicki Michelle) makes an unwelcome return to The Square to taunt him with their divorce papers.
Seeing her approach No.45, she reveals her identity to Kathy and leaves Rocky grovelling for her love once again.
He is soon rattled by Jo once again when she shares a message from “his boy” Jasper and calms his nerves knowing Jo often gets under his skin.

Speaking about her arrival on the soap, Vicki explained: “I’m so excited to be in EastEnders and everyone has been so lovely.
“Jo Cotton is a great character and it is such a great story. I can’t wait for the audience to meet her.”
EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw added: “We’re thrilled to welcome the immensely talented Vicki to the EastEnders family, as she brings to life the character of Jo Cotton.
“Vicki is the perfect fit to take on the elusive character of Rocky’s wife that we know very little about.

“Brash, quick-witted, and extremely glamorous, Jo is akin to her long-lost husband, Rocky and as you would expect she is immediately thrown into the heart of the drama when she arrives in Walford.”
Brian Conley also spoke about Jo’s arrival and how it will impact his relationship with Kathy adding: “Rocky has tried to bury his past, like he does with so many things. I think he hoped deep down that it would just go away.
“As the week starts, he realises he’s getting deeper and deeper in trouble, and deeper and deeper into a position where it’s going to be so hard to not say something.
“Once again his back is against the wall, and he knows that eventually unless he can get the situation sorted quietly behind Kathy’s back, he is going to have to say something.”
EastEnders airs weeknights from 7:30pm on BBC One.
