OMG SHOCKING!!! Unexpected EastEnders romance confirmed for former couple – but a shock follow
Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Zack Hudson (James Farrar) are in a bit of a sticky predicament in EastEnders at the moment, aren’t they?
With their apparent inability to keep their hands off each other, even as Vicki’s wedding to Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) rapidly approaches, Vicki’s turmoil over the idea of Joel Marshall (Max Murray) returning to their lives, after he beat her unconscious and left her for dead, has created a chasm between her and her fiancé, a chasm Zack has been eager to step into.
Yesterday saw a vulnerable Zack plead with Vicki to give in to her desires and make a go of things between them, but she was resolute: there couldn’t be anything further between them, her heart lies with Ross.
Deeply wounded, Zack turned to ex-friend with benefits turned regular friend, Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), and opened up about what had been happening between he and Vicki.
As he filled Sam in, Vicki and Ross were dealing with their ‘Joel’ shaped problem again, with her reaffirming that she needs to know that he’s chosen her over his son. With their respective hen and stag do’s rapidly approaching, the topic had to be benched for now.
Back in the Vic, though, Sam encouraged Zack to fight for Vicky – a fight he now had a better chance of winning.
The hen do saw Vicki lament about her issues with Ross, but the other hens were resolute: Ross is a good guy, which seemingly got through to Vicki when she text him, suggesting they blow off the bashes and go home for a cuddle.
Zack spotted his chance to fight for Vicki when Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) set off in search of a stripper.
Zack, famed locally for his incredibly chiselled physique, was first to volunteer and headed across to Harry’s Barn.
As he sashayed and swayed, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), the only person other than Sam who knows of Vicki and Zack’s connection, spotted the sexual tension and pulled the fire alarm, breaking the moment.
Her plan was all for naught, though, as they ended up tonguing in an alleyway next to the club, interrupted only by Ross’s calls for his beloved.
