Vicki Unpacks Her Traumatic Connection To Zack
Beloved Kathy Beale will play a pivotal role in the countdown to Vicki Fowler and Ross Marshall’s wedding next week. And it happens as the anxious bride is struggling to hide her massive secret. We know that Ross is fully aware that his partner was ‘unfaithful’ in the past. However, he is clueless that the mystery man in question is actually his own best man, Zack Hudson.
Now, the ceremony is approaching, so a compassionate Kathy steps up to guide her family member through an emotional storm. We will see that the burden of the secret affair will push Vicki to her absolute limit. Hence, she will be forced to seek desperate guidance from a trusted matriarch.
And when she opens up about her guilt, Vicki finds unexpected clarity during a deep conversation with her supportive relative. Actress Alice Haig explained that opening up to Walford veteran Kathy Beale really helped. She says, “It really helps because she finds a bit more sense as to why this has happened.”
In fact, Vicki realised that her sudden attraction to Zack was a desperate desire to regain control over her own life after her horrific ordeal with Joel Marshall. Hence, now the ‘bride-to-be’ has understood that marrying her fiance is absolutely the right decision for her future.
EastEnders: The Fowler And Beale Families Unite For The Marquee Preparations
As we know, Vicki’s half-sister Sharon Watts is completely absent from the Square during this milestone. Hence, the supportive business owner actively steps into the maternal void to keep the wedding itinerary on track.
Alice said, “Kathy really steps up this week, she’s there before it starts, on the morning of the wedding is sorting the marquee, organising the flowers, she’s got her clipboard she’s ready and providing a lot of support for Vicki. Got Mark as well.”
Adding further she said, “A tight-knit family group, Ian is around helping out a bit. Everyone has rallied round to make this wedding happen.” In fact, the bride opts for a classis and simple but a little different wedding dress.
Also, this will break away from traditional soap opera bridal expectations. But the question is: Can the family successfully shield the groom from learning the truth? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
