Harvey Monroe has a new romance but it looks suspiciously like a con in Thursday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm. see our TV Guide for full listings)

Harvey Monroe has been barely looking after himself since he started communicating online with the mysterious Sophia. 

Rocky Cotton has been worried about his friend, as something definitely seems off. When Alfie Moon overhears Rocky talking about Harvey and Sophia, alarm bells ring. He tells Rocky that it sounds like Harvey's being catfished and 'Sophia' is not who she says she is!

When Rocky confronts Harvey with his suspicions, Harvey insists that Sophie is definitely the real deal. Rocky's not convinced when Harvey then admits their 'relationship' has been based entirely on messaging each other!

Could Rocky be right and is someone trying to con Harvey out of his money?
