EastEnders legend Vicki Fowler was dreaming of a fairy-tale wedding to Ross Marshall, but her big day has been completely derailed by an explosive scandal. As viewers of the BBC soap will recall, Vicki, portrayed by Alice Haig, had been secretly enjoying steamy encounters with Zack Hudson (James Farrar) despite the pair being connected through their shared sister Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean). Sharon is Zack’s half-sister, as they both have the same biological father, Gavin Sullivan, while Vicki is Den Watts’ biological daughter, who took
Sharon in as his own. Regardless, Vicki’s bombshell secret came crashing out at the altar when Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) discovered Zack had been intimate with Vicki after he attempted to discourage the marriage. The wedding guests were left stunned by the revelation, including Sharon, who was utterly gobsmacked. Will Vicki and Ross get their happy ending after all? Alice Haig landed in Walford as the iconic character, Vicki Fowler, last year and has wasted no time causing chaos amongst the residents. Yet, beyond the BBC
soap, the actress comes from a family of celebrated performers, reports OK! . It appears talent runs in Alice’s family, as her dad, David Haig, is an accomplished actor and playwright. The 70-year-old has delivered countless memorable performances throughout his 46-year entertainment career. Back in 1980, David landed his first major acting gig as Pangol in Doctor Who. In 1994, David rocketed to stardom for his performance as Bernard Delaney, one of the grooms in the beloved romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral. Written
by Richard Curtis, the stellar ensemble featured Hugh Grant, Andie McDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Rowan Atkinson. More recently, David appeared in the BBC espionage thriller Killing Eve, portraying Bill Pargrave. David’s additional work encompasses the inaugural Downton Abbey film and a recurring part in the Sky One political thriller COBRA. In 2002, David rejoined Hugh Grant in the Hollywood film Two Weeks Notice as Howard Wade, opposite Sandra Bullock. David has also featured in numerous beloved television programmes, including Marple, Doc Martin, My Family,
Midsomer Murders, Dalziel and Pascoe, Yes, Prime Minister, The Darling Buds of May, Soldier Soldier, and Inspector Morse. Alice is among David’s five offspring with his spouse, Julia Grey, who performs under the professional name Jane Galloway. Jane, 76, is likewise an actress and, like her daughter, featured on EastEnders in 2006 as Dr Weisberg. She has appeared in minor roles in The Last Detective, Doctors, Casualty, The Bill, Bad Girls, and The Vicar of Dibley. She also achieved success across the Atlantic, featuring in
the US sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Bronx Zoo. Jane also featured in the beloved 90s film Dad, the Angel and Me. EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and iPlayer

Wait so the wedding “collapsed” because of an explosion? Like literally??
So Vicki was messing around with Zack and Ross just found out at the altar… that’s basically the whole plot of every soap ever lol. I can’t even be mad, it’s soap drama.
The part about the secret being “through their shared sister Sharon Watts” confused me, because Sharon is like his sister but also her sister? I’m lost. But if Zack tried to discourage the marriage then he should’ve just minded his business instead of turning it into a scandal.
I watched EastEnders a long time ago and the families being connected like 15 different ways is normal for them. Still though, an explosion “scandal” makes it sound way bigger than just some steamy encounters. Also Alice Haig’s dad did stuff in Doctor Who? That’s wild, so does that mean they’re all cursed to ruin weddings now? Not buying it.
