EastEnders' Bobby Beale makes a shock discovery in return story

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders' Bobby Beale will be stunned by an unexpected discovery he makes in upcoming scenes, as Rocky Cotton's bitter divorce battle takes another turn.

In scenes airing next week on BBC One, Kathy Beale is fretting over the responsibility of organising the wake for Lola Pearce-Brown, after she sadly passed away last week.

Kathy's fiancé Rocky is determined to take the stress off her, but his day ends up being derailed when his estranged wife Jo Cotton makes a surprise return to Walford, armed with their divorce papers.

Stressed-out Rocky desperately tries to keep Jo away from Kathy, especially as Kathy previously called off their engagement when she found out the truth about Jo.

Later on, when Rocky catches up with Jo about the divorce proceedings, he wonders why he didn't receive the legal papers in the post.

As he leaves, Jo rattles Rocky when she tells him that 'Jasper says hello'. With her words playing on his mind, Rocky later furtively calls Jo and demands to talk to her about 'his boy'...

Bobby is horrified when he overhears Rocky speaking to Jo on the phone, declaring that she can't keep 'his boy from him'.

Bobby immediately informs his grandmother Kathy about what he's heard and Kathy rushes to confront Rocky, in order to find out what he's been hiding from her.

Jo shows up again mid-row and announces that if Rocky wants to see Jasper, he will have to come to The Vic and beg.

Rocky soon starts making some calls, hopeful that he can get Kathy the guests she wants at their wedding, and he enlists Bobby's help in his mission.

Will Rocky and Bobby be able to give Kathy her dream wedding - and what exactly will happen with Rocky's 'boy', Jasper?

It has previously been suggested that Jasper may be a feathered friend of Rocky's, but this has not yet been confirmed by the soap.

These scenes mark a return to the show for Jo, played by 'Allo 'Allo! star Vicki Michelle, with EastEnders producer Chris Clenshaw previously teasing that Jo would be causing big trouble for Rocky.

"Brash, quick-witted, and extremely glamorous, Jo is akin to her long-lost husband, Rocky, and as you would expect, she is immediately thrown into the heart of the drama when she arrives in Walford," he said.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
