EastEnders fans predict dramatic exit as they uncover culprit behind Kathy’s Café fire

Fans of the popular BBC soap, EastEnders, believe they have discovered the identity of the person responsible for the upcoming fire at Kathy's Café.

Fans share theories and speculation online

While the identity of the fire-starter remains a secret, viewers have taken to social media to share their theories and speculation.

Rocky Cotton at the center of speculation

Following reports that actor Brian Conley, known for his role as Rocky Cotton, has left the show, fans are speculating about how his character will make his exit.

Could Rocky burn down the café for insurance money?

Many fans think that Rocky, who is facing financial troubles, might burn down Kathy's Café as part of an insurance scam to alleviate his money problems. Despite Kathy trying to help him by paying off his ex-wife, Rocky's mounting gambling debts and the pressure to provide for his wife may lead him to make a desperate decision.

Clues suggest Rocky's gambling addiction is key

References to Rocky's gambling addiction in recent episodes have added fuel to the speculation. As he becomes more desperate for money, he is seen heading to the bookies in an attempt to win some extra cash.

Viewers share their thoughts on social media

Fans on social media have expressed their theories, with one suggesting that the fire could be an insurance claim by Rocky. Another viewer believes that Rocky's gambling debts will lead him to start the fire to claim insurance money. While the BBC has not yet confirmed any details of the fire storyline, fans are eagerly waiting to see what unfolds.

A shocking exit and potential loss of a character

The fire storyline, set to air later this year, is rumored to result in the death of at least one character. Brian Conley's departure from the show earlier this year has only added to the speculation and anticipation surrounding this dramatic turn of events.
