In a dramatic week ahead for EastEnders, Vicki Fowler's wedding to Ross Marshall faces catastrophic disruption as a sinister blackmail plot emerges. The situation intensifies when a mystery individual captures photographic evidence of Vicki sharing a passionate kiss with Zack Hudson, threatening to derail her nuptials entirely.
