EastEnders viewers think Brian Conley’s character Rocky Cotton will be at the centre of a dark twist on the BBC soap, as the character is set to leave the show this year
EastEnders viewers believe they have rumbled the dark way in which Rocky Cotton will leave Walford, following fears he would die in tragic scenes.
Viewers have come up with a dark new theory that might see Rocky leave Albert Square alive. Actor Brian Conley recently confirmed he was leaving the role after nearly three years, with him set to bow out later this year it is believed. Brian hit back at claims his exit decision had sparked rows with bosses, as he teased his exciting exit storyline.
No details have been given away about it, but fans are not sure why he will leave new wife Kathy Beale unless he is forced to, or unless he is hiding something dark. Following recent scenes involving his ex-wife Jo Cotton demanding money from him, viewers believe she could be tied into his exit. One theory is that Rocky and Jo have been in cahoots all along, scamming Kathy for all of her money.
Another more sinister theory is that Rocky and Jo may be linked to the upcoming fire at Kathy’s café after Jo promised she wasn’t done with the pair. Fans are wondering if Rocky will intentionally cause the fire and end up having to flee or being sent to prison. Taking to Twitter, several viewers believed Rocky was either up to no good or would end up being sent to prison, and that this would be how he leaves.
