Fans Worried About Rocky's Fate
EastEnders fans are expressing their concerns over the fate of character Rocky Cotton, played by actor Brian Conley, as he abruptly exits the soap opera. Viewers fear that Rocky will meet his demise in an upcoming fire at Kathy's café, which is owned by his wife Kathy (played by Gillian Taylforth).
Calls for a Recast
Many fans have taken to social media to beg show bosses to recast the beloved character instead of killing him off. The sudden departure of Brian Conley has left long-term plotlines up in the air, as writers had positioned Rocky as a central part of the show's future, including his marriage to Kathy.
One social media user suggested former Coronation Street star and presenter Bradley Walsh as a potential replacement for Conley. They believe Walsh and Conley have a similar look and that it would be an easy transition.
Rocky's Role in the Soap
Brian Conley's decision to leave EastEnders has reportedly left bosses furious. The actor has expressed a lack of enjoyment with being on the show for some time now, causing speculation about his exit. However, his departure has left fans worried about how Rocky's storyline will play out and if his character will meet his end in the upcoming café fire.
Overall, fans are hoping that showrunners will consider recasting Rocky instead of letting the character be killed off. Only time will tell how the soap opera will navigate this unexpected turn of events.
