EastEnders' Rocky Cotton's exit storyline 'sealed' after new The Six bombshell
EastEnders fans think they have figured out Rocky Cotton's exit storyline after a new The Six bombshell on Thursday night following the Christmas Day murder.
In shocking scenes on Christmas Day, Keanu Taylor was killed by Linda Carter when he attempted to strangle Sharon Watts after she refused to let him see Albie. Earlier in the day, Sharon had called the wedding off, having learned that Keanu was a part of the kidnapping plot for Albie.
As a result, Sharon revealed to Keanu that Albie wasn't his son, before Phil Mitchell heard the truth - that he was the biological dad to Albie. It led to a big confrontation when Keanu headed to the Queen Vic and as he strangled Sharon, Linda stepped in to save her. Prior to this, The Six had knocked out Nish Panesar, who had attempted to attack wife Suki, and they have blamed Nish's serious head injury on Keanu, claiming he has gone on the run.

The Six thought their secret was safe until Rocky Cotton, who had attempted to go in the pub on Christmas Day before passing out drunk in Albert Square, dropped a bombshell on Wednesday night.
Rocky told estranged partner Kathy Beale: "Kath, I remember what happened and what I saw last night. It was Sharon, I saw Sharon, I think she must be helping Keanu, she was stood outside the café, in her wedding dress, then she went in! Why would she do that, I think she's hiding something in there, I'm going to find out!"

On Thursday, Rocky was unable to get in the café but arranged to see Kathy again, where he said he had a 'gut feeling' she was in 'trouble' as he kept grilling her. Things then went from bad to worse when Ian Beale arrived home, revealing someone had taken a sheet of tarpaulin from his skip.
This jogged Rocky's memory as he said: "Ian talking about tarpaulin, jogged my memory. You and Sharon outside the café, that is weird, but why was Stacey and Denise carrying a bit of tarpaulin across the Square?"

Soap watchers will recall that Rocky recently staged a fire at his wife Kathy's café as he continued to struggle with debt problems due to his gambling addiction.
Thursday's episode ended with Suki saying that arson is a life sentence so if they shopped Rocky to the police for the café fire, he will be more worried about himself in prison than piecing together what happened on Christmas Day. Kathy was horrified at the suggestion, saying: "You're asking me to send my husband to prison, for life?"
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers are convinced this is Rocky's exit storyline as actor Brian Conley is set to leave the BBC One soap soon. One person said: "Well tonight explains how Rocky will leave the show.. ps (he’s not left yet) but a potential reasoning or how it will happen) #EastEnders", a different account put: "Rocky getting involved is how he’s going to end up leaving I’m calling it now #EastEnders" while another added: "How do you solve a problem like rocky, get him banged up for arson. #EastEnders #TheSix!"
