WINNING over Kathy Beale after he was exposed as a con man was an uphill battle Rocky Cotton was glad to overcome.
However, trouble could be ahead yet again for the EastEnders character as he keeps another secret from his other half.
Rocky Cotton has struggled to earn Kathy Beale’s trust after he was exposed as a con man
He’s worried about his friend Harvey Monroe next week
But it’s soon clear he’s hiding something
Rocky Cotton (played by Brian Conley) finally managed to earn Kathy Beale’s trust (Gillian Taylforth) despite his past actions alongside long-lost daughter Dotty Cotton.
But happiness never lasts forever in Albert Square, particularly if you have something to hide.
Coming up on BBC One, Rocky is firstly concerned for the well-being of his friend Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) who is clearly besotted with Sophia.
The Walford cabbie matched with the latter on a dating app but things may not be as they seem.
Excited for the football, Rocky is concerned when Harvey fails to show up to their pre-match drinks.
Dragging Mitch Baker to look for him, they both realise Harvey hasn’t been seen in several days.
The pair find a bewildered Harvey and a messy flat.
Despite her ghosting him, Harvey admits he’s in touch with Sophia again.
Rocky wants to do what he can for his friend – but Kathy is irritated when he seems more concerned with Harvey than helping her in her new endeavour.
He quickly realises his mistake and rushes to the chippy.
While there, he enlists Freddie Slater and reluctant Bobby Beale’s helps to deep fry some cupcakes Kathy is struggling to sell.
Sadly, his plan backfires – how will he react?
In later scenes, Bobby gives Rocky some insight into Kathy, in an attempt to find a solution.
Rocky has yet another idea but he soon makes a shocking admission to Mitch Baker – the former con man is hiding something from Kathy.
What could it be?
As mentioned above, this wouldn’t be the first time Rocky is keeping a huge secret from his partner.
In fact, Rocky’s past has been shrouded in secrecy during most of the time he has spent in Albert Square.
Earlier this year, and to the shock of many, Rocky admitted that he was once engaged to a woman but ended up walking out on her after Dotty began asking questions about him.
What is Rocky hiding?
As more secrets are revealed, could he escape the fallout altogether?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
