Fans of EastEnders were all saying the same thing about Vicki Michelle after her appearance in last night’s episode. Vicki paid a visit to Albert Square as Rocky Cotton’s ex-wife, Jo.
The Allo! Allo! star temporarily joined the cast as Rocky’s friends and family learned a little about his life before Albert Square. Soap bosses revealed this month that she would be playing Rocky’s estranged wife – and last night marked her return to Rocky’s life.
Jo Cotton’s arrival sends shockwaves across the Square
It was revealed this week that Rocky is legally still married to Jo. This revelation came as Rocky and Kathy prepare to tie the knot.
Rocky revealed all to an initially horrified Sonia, who attempted to help Rocky track Jo down. But, following a misunderstanding with Freddie Slater, Rocky’s secret was let out of the bag.
Following Vicki Michelle’s appearance, EastEnders fans were all left saying the same thing. She proved to be so popular that fans were hoping she might return to the soap soon.
