EastEnders’ Bianca in showdown with Nikki


EastEnders’ Bianca Butcher will have a furious showdown with Nikki Spraggan on her parents’ wedding day.

The fiery Walford character – played by Patsy Palmer – will confront her former love rival about her secret kiss with Bianca’s dad, David Wicks (Michael French), in January.

The showdown couldn’t come at a worse time, however, as the day marks the wedding of David and Bianca’s mum Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson).

Bianca shoves Nikki (Rachel Wilde) into a pile of rubbish bags and questions her father’s motives, even insisting he shouldn’t go through with the wedding.

Lindsey told Inside Soap magazine: "If Carol knew what’s gone on between David and Nikki, she’d feel so angry about having opened up her heart to him again."

Viewers will also be left to wonder if seemingly reformed lothario David will go through with the wedding as he disappears for hours on the big day under the guise of finding something blue for Carol to wear at the wedding ceremony.

Lindsey adds: "Carol starts to think, ‘Of course he’s going to stand me up – this is what he does!’ She’s angry with herself for believing that he’d actually go through with it."

The scenes air tonight on ‘EastEnders’ on BBC One.
