EASTENDERS’ Dotty Cotton is following in the footsteps of her villainous dad Nick Cotton as she continues to cause more trouble in the Square and tries to flirt with evil Leo King.
Leos seduction of Whitney Dean turned out to be an elaborate revenge plot after she realised he was the son of her childhood abuser. But despite being exposed for his cruel ways, it seems like his twisted character is looking to stick around in Walford.
Dotty flirts with Leo on his market stall as Whitney watches on in horror
EastEnders fans watched on with unease as creepy Leo began romancing Whitney following her doomed wedding day to Callum Highway.
Leo followed the heartbroken bride-to-be to her honeymoon destination and continued to seduce her once they were back in Walford.
Soap viewers knew there was something dodgy about the newcomer – and their suspicions were confirmed when Leo trapped Whitney in their hotel room after she discovered that he was the son of her abuser Tony King.
Tony groomed Whitney as a teenager for years while he was dating her mum Bianca, before killing himself in prison after she reported him.
Leo also showed a violent side when he smashed his mums head in with his briefcase and left her unconscious, after she told him what a creep his dad was.
Whitney has since been trying to move on with her life but Leo has continued to stalk her, getting a job as a stallholder on the market.
In upcoming scenes of the BBC One soap, Bex becomes concerned when she notices Dotty eyeing up Leo on the Square.
But the paedo’s son is busy stewing when he realises that Whitney has swapped jobs with Kat to avoid him.
Dotty later catches his attention when she offers to help Leo on his market stall.
As the week goes on, Dotty continues her attempts to charm Leo, but he shows a nasty side when she mentions his father.
But instead of taking heed of the romance’s warning signs the young troublemaker apologises before asking Leo to go for a drink.
Will Dottys advances leave her in grave danger?
