Gillian Taylforth has confirmed that Nish Panesar will receive his comeuppance for taking her character Kathy Beale\u2019s honeymoon in EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Thursday\u2019s episode, Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) gambled away his and Kathy\u2019s honeymoon in a poker game with nasty Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry).<\/p>\n

Nish won the trip and was smug to take it from Rocky, who realised he was left with another calamity to come clean about to Kathy.<\/p>\n

Next week, Rocky will be left terrified as Kathy\u2019s grandson Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) and Rocky\u2019s surrogate daughter Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) encourage him to come clean.<\/p>\n

When speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, actress Gillian Taylforth was asked if Nish taking Rocky and Kathy\u2019s honeymoon would link to him potentially being the body teased in the Christmas flash-forward in February<\/a>.<\/p>

However, Taylforth did not seem so convinced that the honeymoon theft would be a motive to kill Nish, despite him being at the top of many lists of theorised victims for the Christmas death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taylforth confirmed: \u201cI don\u2019t think it could be linked to that. But karma is a great thing. And he does get a comeuppance for that, anyway, for stealing my honeymoon. Don\u2019t worry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this, Taylforth confirmed that she and the other actresses behind \u2018The Six\u2019 do have their own theories about the body.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we\u2019ve all sat around and obviously bonded over who it could be,\u201d confirmed Taylforth, before revealing: \u201cThe funniest thing was when we were at the TRIC Awards the other day, I spoke to Chris [Clenshaw, executive producer] and Sharon [Batten, series producer], and I said, \u2018I\u2019m going to try and get you drunk so that you might tell me who it is.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they both looked and laughed. They said, \u2018You\u2019ll never\u2019\u2026 it\u2019ll never come out of their lips up or I\u2019ll know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylforth then revealed that Batten had teased: \u201cIt\u2019s funny how you\u2019re wondering who it\u2019s going to be when none of you has thought who\u2019s actually killed the person?\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress then mused: \u201cOh, I said, \u2018It could be me this time, I could be in prison next year, I could be in prison.\u2019 I\u2019ve thought about that. It could be something like the Orient Express where we\u2019ve all killed him, or her or whoever it is, and\u2026 then we all say it\u2019s us and we\u2019ve got to stick up for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, she concluded: \u201cSo we\u2019ve got no idea whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait and see whether Nish Panesar really does turn out to be the dead body at Christmas.<\/p>\n
