EastEnders fans think that Rocky Cotton's (Brian Conley) pet bird Jasper Parrott will let slip a huge secret.
During last night's episode (Tuesday, June 13), Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) overheard Rocky on the phone to his estranged wife Jo Cotton (Vicki Michelle), insisting that she can't keep "his boy" from him.
Considering Rocky kept his long-lost wife Jo a secret from his fiancée Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Bobby was worried that he was still keeping secrets from his gran and rushed to tell Kathy what he had heard.
"I think Rocky's got a son that he's not told you about," he told her at the café.
A furious Kathy confronted Rocky about his secret and it wasn't long before their row was interrupted by Jo turning up at Kathy's doorstep once again.
Rocky begged Jo to let him see Jasper, while Jo bluntly replied that once Kathy allowed him to see Jasper that he should come and meet her at the pub.
"More lies? Do you know, I can't take any more of this. I mean, how could you have a son that you never even told me about?" Kathy fumed.
A baffled Rocky laughed and revealed that Jasper was actually a green Amazon parrot, named after comedian Jasper Carrott.
Once Kathy had calmed down over the unexpected secret, she was still raging that Jo was back in their lives and that Rocky had spoken to his ex-wife behind her back.
After initially refusing to allow Rocky's "stupid bird" into the house, she softened once she realised how much Jasper meant to him.
Later on, Kathy turned up at the Queen Vic to talk to Jo about Jasper and paid her £600 for the parrot.
Rocky was overjoyed to be reunited with Jasper and even kissed him through his cage, while the parrot squawked, "Rocky! Rocky!"
After the arrival of Jasper, fans reckon that he will expose a major Walford secret...
IF jasper the parrot hasn't squarkingley revealed a huge secret by Christmas 2023 then ..... 😉 #EastEnders @bbceastendersJune 14, 2023
Jasper is going to overhear Eve and Suki talking and grass them up to Nish, leading to the Christmas Day death.#EastEndersJune 13, 2023
For a minute I thought Jasper was going to say something incriminating and a parrot would get the duff-duff. I live in hope! #EastEndersJune 13, 2023
Absolutely cannot wait for Jasper the Parrot to see some sort of dramatic scene and then repeat a crucial phrase to someone. #EastendersJune 13, 2023
EastEnders continues tonight at 7:30pm on BBC One.
