EASTENDERS

MONDAY-THURSDAY, 7.30PM, BBC1 SOAP

The bride is beaming and the register office is reserved – could Kathy Beale and Rocky Cotton’s nuptials be the happy-ever-after

Don’t be daft, laughs Walford favourite Gillian Taylforth as she and co-star Brian Conley join TV Times for an exclusive interview about their characters’ big day.

‘An EastEnders wedding never goes to plan! Things will happen, fireworks will go off!’ teases Gillian, 67.

‘A few people turn up to ruin it – that’s all I can probably say!’ adds Brian, 61, who, despite the expected drama, is chuffed to be marrying into one of the BBC1 show’s legendary dynasties.

‘I feel like I’m woven into the tapestry of EastEnders to be getting married to Kathy Beale,’ he smiles.

Here, Gillian and Brian chat about all things bridal, bombshells and forthcoming bloodshed in Albert Square…

Aw, we love a good soap wedding! Theirs hasn’t been the easiest of relationships, but do you think Kathy and Rocky are soulmates?

BRIAN Yes, I do. The writers could see there was chemistry between them in the early days. Rocky’s honoured – who wouldn’t want to marry Kathy Beale?

GILLIAN I do think they’re very well- matched. He’s a bit of a bad boy, which she goes for. But Trouble: Jo’s surprise visit causes problems he’s also got a heart of gold – he just has a funny way of showing it!
