EastEnders spoilers follow for Tuesday’s episode (3 February), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn’t yet aired on TV.
EastEnders has confirmed the future of Vicki Fowler and Ross Marshall’s relationship, after their fate was left up in the air. This week, Ross was keen to make a fresh start after the outcome of Joel’s trial and decided to propose to his partner Vicki.
But Vicki recently cheated on Ross with Zack, with whom she has a simmering chemistry with – and when Ross popped the question, she felt guilty and told him that she slept with someone else.
Ross was devastated and in today’s episode, he urged Vicki to tell him who she slept with. Vicki told him another lie and kept Zack’s name out of the conversation, insisting that it was a night with a random stranger.
Meanwhile, Zack took the woman he met in The Vic back to his flat, determined to take his mind off things. However, he couldn’t go through with his one-night stand as his heart was with Vicki, and he asked her to leave.

Zack called round to see Vicki and assured her that nothing happened with the woman she saw them with. He attempted to fight for their relationship, but Vicki remained firm that she loved Ross and wanted to be with him.
Elsewhere, Ross headed to the pub and told Alfie, Ian and Harvey about Vicki’s infidelity. The men went upstairs to talk through the situation, but Ian’s negativity about Vicki brought the mood down and Ross left.
Alfie spotted Ross sitting in the Square and brought him a drink, plus gave him some more useful advice. He said that emotional connection is way more important than sex, and that if he feels that with Vicki, he should never give up.
