Sharon is delighted to see her smitten sister back in Walford after a lovely honeymoon<\/a>. However, Vicki\u2019s mood sours when she and Ross walk through the door and see their womanising housemate, Zack\u2026<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s super awkward between Vicki, Ross and Zack,” begins our EastEnders insider. “Vicki can\u2019t cope with having her former fling and new husband under the same roof, so she seeks advice from her auntie Kathy.<\/p>\n

“They come to the conclusion that Vicki and Ross will move in with Mo and Jean, but Ross is upset by the idea \u2013 so Zack decides to move out instead! It\u2019s a tough situation, but it\u2019s a relief for everyone to clear the air\u2026”<\/p>\n

With the promise of a new home on the horizon for Zack, and Vicki and Ross left to enjoy their love nest, things are initially looking up for the happy couple. Soon though, there\u2019s another blast from the past when newly released Joel arrives at No.43<\/a> with his mum Cleo! <\/p>\n

While Ross previously made plans for Joel to stay with his mum<\/a> when he got out of the young offenders institute, this is thrown into doubt when Cleo announces that she doesn\u2019t want Joel to live with her.<\/p>\n

Blindsided by Cleo\u2019s change of heart, Vicki is once again faced with the terrifying possibility that her attacker could be forced to move back in with her and Ross\u2026<\/p>\n

“Vicki can\u2019t cope with Joel\u2019s return, so she scarpers into the caf\u00e9 to confide in Sharon,” reveals our source.<\/p>\n

“However, she\u2019s hunted down by Avani and Amy, who are after blood! They kick off at poor Vicki for letting Joel come back to Walford \u2013 but it could be more than she can take\u2026”<\/p>\n

With the Watts-Fowlers all back in Walford, Joel searching for a place to live and tensions running high with Zack \u2013 is the honeymoon period well and truly over for Vicki and Ross?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
