A beloved EastEnders character portrayed by a TV icon is sentenced to ten years in prison.

Kathy Beale was dealt a heavy blow in recent episodes of EastEnders when she received heart-wrenching news about her husband, Rocky Cotton's, fate. It all started when Rocky's gambling addiction led him to accumulate a large amount of debt. This put him in a desperate situation, with Nish Panesar breathing down his neck for repayment of a loan. In a moment of desperation, Rocky resorted to setting fire to Kathy's beloved café in order to cash in on the insurance money.

However, things did not go according to plan. Kathy ended up getting arrested for arson and Rocky was forced to confess to the police that he had purposely tampered with the café's electrics, making their insurance claim void. As a result, Kathy was forced to sell the café to Nish and she discovered the truth about Rocky's actions. This led to the end of their marriage.

Unfortunately for Kathy, things took a turn for the worse when she became entangled in the murder of Keanu Taylor on Christmas Day. Along with the rest of The Six, Kathy agreed to cover up the murder, putting all of their futures at risk. However, things became even more complicated when Rocky stumbled upon their secret while wandering around the Square in a drunken state. To make matters worse, he remembered what he had seen.

As Rocky began to ask incriminating questions, the women of The Six knew they had no choice but to report him for the café fire. Kathy reluctantly called the police and in more recent scenes, she was devastated to receive a call informing her that Rocky had been sentenced to ten years in prison. Despite Linda Carter's attempts to comfort her, Kathy lashed out and blamed Linda for the whole ordeal. She pointed out that if Linda had disposed of the murder weapon sooner, they wouldn't be in this mess.

Kathy also expressed her frustration that Linda had confided in Johnny Carter and Stacey Slater had told Jack Branning about Denise Fox's attack on Nish. She felt like she had no one left to turn to, especially now that her husband was behind bars. Up until this point, Kathy had managed to keep her composure and hold her nerve, but Rocky's sentencing may be the final straw that pushes her over the edge.
