Rocky and Kathy Beale’s wedding in chaos as Jo Cotton returns for revenge in EastEnders
KATHY Beale is ready to walk down the aisle and get married to Rocky Cotton.
Unfortunately for them, Rocky’s ex-wife Jo returns to EastEnders with another trick up her sleeve next week.
The schemer portrayed by Brian Conley had to admit to Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) that he was still married to his estranged wife Jo (Vicki Michelle).
At the time, Jo had rocked up Albert Square and faced Kathy to share the truth about Rocky.
But after coming clean, Rocky did everything he could to convince Jo it was time for them to make their separation and divorce official – which she accepted.
Rocky is thus free to tie the knot with Kathy and the couple’s big day is finally here in scenes airing next week on BBC One.
Yet while Kathy is excitedly preparing to say “I do”, Rocky and her grandson Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) are both panicking after the events of the stag night.
Viewers of the London-based program will remember Rocky made a very risky move with Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) – but will it jeopardise his relationship with Kathy?
While this remains to be seen, Rocky decides to vent about the situation to Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) who advises him to come clean.
Rocky goes to speak to Kathy, who is gutted to hear his confession.
She later tells Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) she’s not sure she’s going to go through with the wedding.
But Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) arrives to surprise her with something that just might persuade her to think again.
Meanwhile, Rocky waits nervously at the registry office, but his day takes a nightmare turn when Jo arrives.
Horrified, Rocky tries to take the news in as Kathy arrives to marry him.
