The PARENT FLAP

Rocky’s left reeling as he’s exposed as Dotty’s dad

Rocky rocked up in Walford last year claiming to be Sonia’s long-lost father, only for it to be revealed that he was actually Nick Cotton’s secret brother Tom and was scamming poor Son for cash. The twists then kept on coming, as Dotty’s wayward mum Sandy told her daughter that Rocky was actually her biological dad.

You’d be forgiven for forgetting that bit of info as it’s been buried for months, and Rocky himself doesn’t even know. But, this week, that’s about to change…

Down-on-her-luck Dotty is dossing down at the Beales’, with Rocky having taken pity on her after she was chucked out of the Panesars’ place for cheating on Vinny. Kathy isn’t exactly chuffed that she’s got the spawn of Nasty Nick as her new lodger, and the pair soon clash.

It seems everyone’s got it in for Dotty when Ash publicly lays into her for doing the dirty on her brother, and a brawl breaks out. Rocky and Vinny try to intervene before the fur really starts to fly, but Vin flips when ‘Uncle

Tom’ defends

Dotty and the heartbroken bloke blurts out the truth: Rocky is Dotty’s real dad! Rocky reels from the revelation and tries to speak to Dotty, but the brunette refuses to discuss it and proceeds to sofa-surf her way around the Square. Bernie allows her to stay at the Taylors’ but also pleads with her mate to have it out with her relative.

Can Dotty find the courage to confront Rocky? And was the drug-addled disaster that is Sandy actually telling the truth?
