Penny and Vinny fans threaten to 'riot' if latest heartbreaking twist in EastEnders proves to be true
EastEnders fans aren't happy...
EastEnders has revealed a fresh twist for Penny and Vinny, and fans aren’t happy.
Today’s episode sees the fan favourites spending time with Ria – Suki and Eva’s foster daughter. However, the heartwarming moment is so lovely that viewers are more annoyed than ever that the couple won’t get their happy ending.
EastEnders: Penny and Vinny had a glimpse into the future
Today’s EastEnders sees Eve still struggling to bond with Ria. Something completely understandable considering everything the young girl has been through. But the fact that she has bonded so well with Suki is upsetting Eve.
Ria is reluctant to spend time with Eve at the park. And, when they arrive, she gravitates towards Vinny. Penny and Vinny are having a picnic together and talking about which car they are going to buy when Ria runs over.
Vinny is great with Ria, and soon the trio are playing tea parties. But while the scene between the couple and Ria is cute, fans have been reminded of what they are missing out on when Penny’s baby secret is revealed.
It has been heavily hinted that Harry is the father of Penny’s baby. And although that hasn’t been confirmed, fans are fuming about the future storyline ruining things for Penny and Vinny.
Viewers will know that Penny faked her DNA results to get Nicola off her back. However, she didn’t actually take the test for real. She has kept her head in the sand for her entire pregnancy, even skipping scams to keep the secret safe from Vinny.
But now that fans have seen what amazing parents Vinny and Penny have the potential to be, they’re fuming at this latest twist…
EastEnders fans have their say about Penny and Vinny
Soap fans love Penny and Vinny together, and it is often said that we don’t see enough of the couple. Much of Penny’s pregnancy has been happening off-screen, and now fans are worried their time is about to be cut short.
“Why do we only ever get crumbs of Penny and Vinny together?” complained one fan on Reddit. “I hate that it seems like the writers are going to ruin them. I really hope they see sense and Vinny will be the baby’s dad.”
“Penny and Vinny had so much potential as a couple that was completely destroyed as soon as the ‘who’s the daddy’ storyline started. They’re doomed considering Penny’s been keeping that secret for months,” said someone else.
A third fan seemed more hopeful that EastEnders writers will turn things around for the couple… “I also loved the Penny & Vinny scene. But I hate the who’s the daddy storyline. EastEnders couples have moved on from worse, so hopefully they still have a chance.”
