Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) goes head to head with Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) this week, when the truth surrounding the club crush incident is exposed.
As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Chelsea was caused a mass-crushing at Peggy’s nightclub in August when she purposely sold excess amounts of tickets to a carnival event in a bid to jeopardise Penny Branning’s (Kitty Castledine) position as manager.
The moment of recklessness was triggered by her own loss of the managerial position.
Several locals, including young Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadds), were left seriously injured, while Penny accepted full responsibility for the incident.
‘I think Penny is feeling a lot of mixed emotions at the moment, and she’s feeling quite alone’ actress Kitty told us.
“She realizes she needs to prove herself, so she’s feeling desperate and will start clinging to friendships and relationships because she feels the need for support. Right now, she’s feeling left out.”
In upcoming scenes, Chelsea’s mother, Denise (Diane Parish), begins to mend her strained relationship with Penny and Amy’s father, Jack (Scott Maslen), all while grappling with the burden of keeping her daughter’s secret.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Amy’s recovery isn’t progressing as well as hoped. As tensions with Penny escalate, she decides to move back to Paris.
“Penny believes that the only option left for her is to return to Paris, a place where she can have a fresh start,” Kitty explained.
‘She’s hit rock bottom and she doesn’t know what to do. I think it’s more of a panic and I don’t think she wants to leave but she feels abandoned everywhere she goes, so she may as well just flee back.’
With an explosive showdown ensuing between the blended family, Denise is forced to out Chelsea and reveal everything.
Jack demands that she hands herself in to the police, and Chelsea can’t bring herself to. However – when Amy shares some harsh home truths – she changes her mind.
Regarding Penny’s reaction, Kitty noted: “She’s genuinely shocked and profoundly hurt. There’s also a feeling of betrayal—not just from Chelsea, but from Denise for keeping the secret for weeks.”
“Penny is supposed to be heading back to Paris and truly believes this could be the end of her life, her career, everything.
“She feels a deep sense of betrayal from Denise. Soon after, she experiences an intense outburst of rage and isn’t afraid to express it. I think she inherited that temperament from her dad.”
