After weeks of speculation, Clenshaw revealed who Vicki Michelle will be playing when she comes on screen later in the year.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Loose Women panel, he said: \u201cWe do have a new character joining for a new stint \u2013 that\u2019s Rocky Cotton\u2019s (played by Brian Conley) ex wife, Jo Cotton, played by the fabulous Vicki Michelle.<\/p>\n

Will this storyline feed into the big Christmas flash-forward Kathy\u2019s involved in?<\/p>\n
Speaking on joining the soap as Jo, Michelle said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be in EastEnders and everyone has been so lovely. Jo Cotton is a great character and it is such a great story. I can\u2019t wait for the audience to meet her.\u201d<\/p>
It\u2019s a great time to be an EastEnders fan, as the soap recently revealed the exciting storyline we can expect over Christmas.<\/p>\n
In a flash-forward scene, six of the show\u2019s most iconic women are stood around the dead body of a man.<\/p>\n
Whodunnit and who the victim is are a complete mystery to viewers \u2013 but that hasn\u2019t stopped them speculating.<\/p>\n
