Rocky Cotton has effectively landed himself between a rock and a hard place on EastEnders. For the millionth time, that is. However, this time, the aftermath of his struggle will have horrifyingly far-reaching consequences. Rocky has absolutely no money to pay back Nish. Next week, he hopes to talk his loan-shark into cutting him some slack. Unfortunately, Nish does not comply and pushes Rocky to cough up the money as soon as possible. This puts him in a tricky position, that leads him down a very dangerous and dark path!
In the scenes airing early next week, Rocky decides to use the faulty fuse box as decoy to set Kathy’s cafe on fire on EastEnders. In hopes, that the insurance money that comes through, will cover all his debt. Although Rocky’s best friend, Harvey, tries to talk sense into him, and urges him to back down from the scathing plan. Unfortunately, his pleas fall on deaf ears with Rocky. As soon as he sees that the cafe has cleared out, he proceeds to tamper with the electrics and eventually manages to start a fire through the fuse box.
Once the fire starts to build, Rocky slips out of the cafe and heads back to Walford East to meet Kathy for their date. He encounters Harvey on the way, but keeps his dirty deed under wraps on EastEnders. Meanwhile, back at the cafe, Bobby Beale happens to be passing by and notices the blaze. Horrified, he enters the cafe in a bid to extinguish the flames. Unfortunately, he fails in quelling the fire. In fact, the flames begin to roar to loud that the whole building suddenly explodes. This renders Bobby unconscious and trapped inside the flaming cafe.
What will happen next? Will Bobby be able to survive the horror? Some spoilers also tease that Bobby is not the only victim in the fire, someone else will fall victim too. Could it be possible that Harvey grows suspicious of Rocky and goes to check the cafe? If so, he might enter it to try and save Bobby. But does that mean both their lives will be hanging in the balance? What do you think? Tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for more EastEnders updates on the aftermath!
