EastEnders viewers want to know where Rocky Cotton is. The character received a decade behind bars for insurance fraud. Now, some fans feel the punishment was harsh compared to other Walford villains. And Rocky remains locked up for now. But could a surprise release or guest appearance happen in the future? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Rocky Is Behind Bars
Rocky is currently serving his time behind bars. Kathy Beale had handed him over to the police to save herself. Also, some fans speculate that he could earn parole for his good behaviour. Meanwhile, Kathy recently moved on with Harvey Monroe. She also reportedly received a blessing from Rocky to continue her life without him. But many still miss the “Frank Butcher” energy he brought to the Square.

Also, the door is still open for Rocky. His character is still alive and is even mentioned in off-screen visits. Even Sonia Fowler reportedly visited him just before her recent exit. Hence, this keeps his presence felt. Also, actor Brian Conley has moved on to other projects. But fans do hope for a one-off reunion scene with Kathy eventually.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user shared, “He didn’t get that long, so are we to assume that he got out and never came back or is he still in jail on a never-ending sentence?” Another added, “He was sentenced to 10 years, like 2 years ago.” To which someone replied, “Still seems like way too long for an insurance job that only accidentally hurts people. Lucas killed two people, and escaped halfway through his sentence, but was still out in 10!

Someone else wrote, “He must still be in jail. Kathy mentioned long before her and Harvey got together that she had either been in contact with him or visited if I’m remembering correctly.” Meanwhile another fan wrote, “Wish he’d come back as he was a bit like Frank Butcher mixed with a bearable Alfie.” While “I thought the actor didn’t want to be in EE anymore. I doubt Rocky will ever be back,” said someone.
Also, a user said, “I miss him and his sparkle, hope Brian Conley would want to come back one day (as long as Kathy is in the show, there’d always be a reason at least)” Meanwhile, do you miss Rocky on screen?
