Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) threatens to blow The Six’s cover in EastEnders next week.
18 months on from Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters) death, the women are once again fearing that they’ll end up behind bars.
As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu with a meat thermometer to prevent him throttling best mate Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).
Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) then helped the ladies to conceal the murder, burying his body under the caff.
Eventually, twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) went to his grave with authorities believing that he was the one who committed the crime.
But that wasn’t before the grizzly truth was revealed to Keanu’s grieving sister Bernie (Clair Norris).
In the months that followed – now trustee of the Panesar business empire – she swindled the family out of thousands, placing fake invoices for repairs to their GP practice.
It wasn’t long after Vicki began some accountancy work on Bernie’s behalf that her dodgy dealings were exposed.
She threatened to tell the Panesars what Bernie was up to, unless she coughed up half of the cash so that she could pay off her debts to sister Sharon and ensure she had a roof over her head.
Bernie reluctantly went along with the plan, but then turned the tables by framing Vicki.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) knew that something suspicious was afoot after threatening Vicki and her partner’s son Joel Marshall (Max Murray), and planted spyware in Bernie’s laptop.
The technology proved what she was up to – but before he could stop her, she fled to Spain.

In the aftermath, the Panesars have found themselves in financial ruin and Ravi has turned to drug dealing. Vicki has found herself in a similar predicament, and she knows that unless she finds the cash, Sharon will kick her out.
In upcoming scenes, Vicki meets with her aunty Kath’ to discuss her problems, and says that she’s considering reporting Bernie to the police.
Now, as you can imagine, the last thing The Six need is further questioning and Bernie wouldn’t hesitate to spill the truth if trouble came her way again.
Desperate to find a resolution to their problems, Kathy calls Sharon to convince her to let Vicki stay put.
Will she be successful?
