A storm of controversy is swirling across the EastEnders fan community as rumours of a mysterious – and even taboo – relationship between Vicki Fowler and Zack Hudson begin to swirl. The burning question is:
are Vicki and Zack related?

 

And if so, is their more than just friendship an illicit romance ?

In the upcoming episodes, EastEnders is expected to create a big shock, when a series of clues begin to reveal, pushing the audience into a confusing maze between the Fowler – Beale – Watts – Hudson family . And as usual, the truth is never simple in Walford.

Vicki Fowler’s Origins – A Drama-Filled Family

 

 

Vicki Fowler, daughter of Michelle Fowler and Den Watts, has long been known for her complicated connection to two of Walford’s most troubled families. As Michelle’s daughter, Vicki is a Fowler – a branch of the family that is deeply entwined in the history of the market town. She is also the daughter of EastEnders’ iconic drama icon Den Watts, who has made any relationship involving him breathtakingly complicated.

This means: Vicki belongs to the Fowler family and the Watts family . These two families have caused a lot of shocking incidents that changed EastEnders forever.

What about Zack Hudson?

Zack Hudson is a “new but heavyweight” character in the Walford universe. He is the half-brother of Sharon Watts. Sharon, as viewers know, is… Vicki Fowler’s half-sister .

That means Zack and Sharon share the same father – Gavin Sullivan (according to the recent storyline). With Sharon already Vicki’s “birth” sister through Den Watts, this connection has many people asking:

Is Zack related to Vicki by blood?

Shocking answer:
Not directly by blood – but they are in the same Watts family network.

Vicki and Zack don’t share biological parents, but their indirect connection through Sharon makes their relationship dangerously sensitive . They’re not blood relatives, but they fall into the “gray area” of extended family.

Rumors of an affair: true or false?

Behind-the-scenes footage shows Vicki and Zack appearing together more often, creating suspicions that producers are trying to revive the “forbidden romance” motif that made EastEnders legendary.

Several inside sources revealed that the writers are developing an “unexpectedly explosive chemistry” storyline between the two characters – something they will exploit as a test of the Fowler-Watts family’s morality, emotions and honor.

If this is true, viewers will witness a story:

dangerous , because the relationship almost crossed the line of ethics

thrilling , true EastEnders style

causing division , especially within Sharon’s family – who will take the heaviest emotional hit

Sharon has been at the center of countless tragedies involving love, marriage, and betrayal. A relationship between her younger brother and her “resurrected” sister would surely cause Sharon to lose control completely.

Walford prepares for chaos?

If Vicki and Zack were to become a real couple, this would be one of the most controversial storylines of the year. It touches on three of the most important elements of any drama:

1. Deep family conflict

The Watts and Fowler household was already in turmoil, adding a relationship like this would set off a series of emotional explosions.

2. Betrayal in the Dark

Sharon – the link between the two – will feel betrayed by both her sister and her brother.

3. Ethical boundaries are broken

EastEnders has delved into the theme of love gone wrong many times, but rarely has a relationship been this controversial.

What happens next?

Although the network has not officially confirmed the storyline, what is being recorded behind the lens shows that the producers are placing high hopes on a big shock for the audience. The scenes scheduled to air at the end of the month show Vicki and Zack standing very close to each other – too close for a normal relationship.
