There was drama teased on EastEnders on Tuesday night as we learned Vicki Fowler and her new man Ross were hiding something.

Just after we learned they’d had an affair behind Spencer Moon’s back, sparking their split, it seemed there was more to their Walford arrival. By the end of the latest episode of the BBC soap we knew something about what they were up to and what had really brought Vicki back to Albert Square after two decades.

Vicki reunited with her sister Sharon Watts as they mourned Vicki’s uncle Martin Fowler ahead of his funeral next week. But she may have an ulterior motive for being with her sister again, as hinted by Ross in the closing moments of Tuesday’s visit to Walford.

As Sharon left, Vicki made it clear to her man that they were going to be leaving back to Australia as soon as the funeral was over. Ross was happy about this but made a comment that hinted that the pair were in big trouble.

Ross told Vicki they needed money, and it didn’t seem like they wanted it for no good reason. The pair seemed panicked about something, and suggested they needed cash to be “in the clear”.

Vicki had said to Ross: “As soon as we’ve buried Uncle Martin we’re going back to Australia.” He told her: “Fine by me, as long as you get that cash.” This confirmed their reasons for heading to Walford, and that they’d gone to retrieve some money with Sharon the likely target.

Vicki asked him: “Where from? We can’t ask Sharon she has got too much going on.” Ross barked back: “Listen, we haven’t got a choice babe, so you spin whatever story you need to tell her as long as you get that money. Then we’re in the clear.”

So what are Vicki and Ross in trouble over and why do they need the money? What else are they hiding, and will they steal from someone close to them?

Viewers are convinced this is a clue that Vicki and Ross owe someone money and could be in danger. Taking to social media one fan said: “What do we think they are up to? I know spoilers tease secrets but after Tuesday’s episode they clearly need money for something and a lot of it, so what are they hiding?

“I guess they owe someone money and are maybe in trouble or in debt?” Another fan said: “Maybe someone is after them or they owe someone money? I wonder if it has some link to Spencer!”

A third fan commented: “They’re obvs after money!!! Definitely owe someone.” Meanwhile one annoyed viewer said: “WHAT THE F**K HAVE THEY DONE TO VICKI? FIRST THEY GOT HER TO CHEAT ON SPENCER WITH HIS FRIEND AND NOW TURNING HER INTO SOME CON ARTIST.”

There’s more to come out it seems about the pair and what’s really going on!
