Rocky Cotton (played by Brian Conley) finally managed to earn Kathy Beale’s trust (Gillian Taylforth) despite his past actions alongside long-lost daughter Dotty Cotton.
But happiness never lasts forever in Albert Square, particularly if you have something to hide.
Coming up on BBC One, Rocky is firstly concerned for the well-being of his friend Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) who is clearly besotted with Sophia.
The Walford cabbie matched with the latter on a dating app but things may not be as they seem.
