EastEnders’ Rocky Marshall aka Tommy Cotton collapses in dramatic scenes set to air next week.
The dodgy character, played by Brian Conley, feels the pressure when scheming niece Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero) demands he cons Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) as part of their sick money making scheme.
Dotty is shocked and relieved when Sandy appears at Ruby’s at the start of the weekend.
The youngster tells her mum she has been saving up for rehab and offers for her a place to stay.
Meanwhile, Rocky is nervous ahead of his court appearance for keying Ethan’s car.
Dotty later tells Rocky that her mum is back and she needs him to scam Peter Beale (Dayle Hayton) for more cash for Sandy’s rehab.
Sandy is immediately suspicious of Rocky’s presence when they come face to face.
It’s the final straw for a nervous Rocky and he tells Dotty he’s leaving Walford tomorrow.
Rocky is planning his exit when Peter and Kathy interrupt. Kathy asks Rocky to help her out at Walford East.
At the restaurant, Rocky is confused when it’s empty but he’s touched when he realises it’s a surprise party for his 60th birthday.
Rocky tells Dotty he’s decided to come clean to Kathy and Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy).
After the party, Rocky writes a letter to Sonia and Kathy but suddenly he grabs at his chest and collapses.
Meanwhile, Dotty tells Sandy that she has paid a deposit for a spot at rehab but Sandy is more interested in the money.
Dotty returns to the house to see Rocky being carted off in an ambulance.
After receiving attitude from Tiffany, Sandy tells Dotty she won’t stay in her house any longer.
Vinny Panaser offers Dotty and Sandy a bedsit which the Panesar’s own but Sandy will only stay there on one condition.
Dotty thanks Vinny for being such a good mate, but it is clear there are more feelings lingering for Vinny.
Fans of the BBC One soap will know that Rocky is the cousin of the late Nasty Nick.
He’s working with Nick’s daughter Dotty to scam Sonia out of the money Dot Cotton gave her control of.
EastEnders airs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on BBC One
