Nish threatens Rocky
EastEnders villain Nish Panesar threatens Rocky Cotton next week, ahead of his exit from the BBC soap. Rocky, who will leave the show in a mystery storyline in the coming months, recently accepted a money loan from Nish after his gambling got out of control. With him losing thousands of pounds and wanting to keep it from wife Kathy Beale, he turned to Nish for help.
But Nish issues a threat next week after expecting back more money then he gave him. As Rocky admits he has no way of paying Nish back the cash, he asks Nish for lower repayments but Nish isn’t having it.
Nish explains to a downcast Rocky that there are hefty financial penalties for changing the terms of their contract, leaving him in a panic. Things only get worse though, when Nish finds out about Rocky’s gambling and his lies.
Instead of paying Nish back, Rocky has been gambling all his money again and this leaves Nish furious. He warns Rocky that if he doesn’t get his money that day, he’ll tell Kathy everything – so is Rocky about to be exposed?
