This is how much Dodgers fans spent to attend the World Series: 'This is the golden ticket in L.A.'

This is how much Dodgers fans spent to attend the World Series: 'This is the golden ticket in L.A.'

While most Dodgers fans are watching all the action of the World Series from a screen, some have made it their mission to be inside of the stadium where it happens. It's no secret that attending a World Series game isn't cheap. But just how expensive is it? The prices may surprise you. This year's tickets at Dodger Stadium, originally priced between about $340 to $550 for many seats, were almost impossible to nab at face value, and resale prices on sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats skyrocketed (we've spotted prices upward of $200,000). However, by Game 3, tickets had dropped, allowing some fans to snag them up last minute for less than $700. (Plus these folks bargained for three hours of baseball and ended up getting six — twice the deal they expected, plus the chance to witness Freddie Freeman hit yet another walk-off home run.) As crowds swarmed into the stadium before Game 3, we asked attendees about how much they paid to get into the game and what it meant to them to be there. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Salvador: Since I can remember. How much did you pay for your ticket? People are going to hate me because I'm a season [ticket] holder, so I paid like $1,600, but for the whole playoffs. I sold my [extra] two tickets for cheap for $1,500 to a friend. I think they're going like for a $1,000 to $1,200. Was it worth it? This is our second World Series. Last year, we were here at Game 1 [Freddie] Freeman's grand slam. So for [my son], I'm hoping it's worth it down the line whenever he's my age and that he call tell his kids, "Hey, I was there." How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Liv: My whole life. [Jake] is my son-in-law. He's a huge fan, so we wanted to surprise him with tickets. Loefke: I cried like a little baby. Liv: He did [laughs]. [We also brought] my dad, Jose. He's been a huge Dodger fan. We lost him last year. We came to the World Series [last year] and the guy accidentally made a mistake with our tickets, so he moved us a little bit closer. And the seat next to us was completely empty, so we sat his picture there and we won. That's when Freeman hit that home run, Game 1. We take [my dad] everywhere. I forgot him Friday and we lost. I'm not doing that again. Jason: He's our good luck charm. How much did you pay for your ticket? Liv: It was like $860. It wasn't bad. Was it worth it? Liv: Yes, absolutely! Just because I feel like it represents L.A. and the fact that this is what I grew up with. My dad played ball. He played with [Sandy] Koufax. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Akida: What are you talking about? Kirk Gibson! I'm Tommy Lasorda, baby! How much did you pay for your ticket? Akida: $900. We bought our tickets from a third party. I've been asking my brother-in-law how much I owe him, but he's such an amazing human being. He's like "Don't worry. I got this!" Was it worth it? Akida: Of course it's worth it. We're seeing the Dodgers World Series. The flight costs more than $900. If you have it, it's worth it. If you don't have it, it's not worth it — you can watch it on TV. If I was still in school, I would be watching on TV. But I am a 53-year-old man, after many years of life, so I can spend $900 to watch the Dodgers. Aiden: This is maybe my second or third game that I've been to for the Dodgers. Being at the World Series, like the grand finale, I feel like it's a great time to be here. I'm really proud of my dad, my auntie and my uncle for bringing me here. I want to thank them. Akida: Can we get a crying emoji? How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Killian: There are a lot of Dodger fans here from Taiwan and Asia because of the influence of Ohtani and Yamamoto. [Fans] want to witness their careers and legacy. How much did you pay for your ticket? Killian: Around $660. We bought the tickets this morning. We've been here multiple times and we feel like maybe a few hours before the game, you can get a better price. Was it worth it? Lillian: Yeah, of course. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Killian: And especially for the World Series because last year we also came for Game 2 and we spent almost $1,000. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? I've been a Dodger fan since I was born in '96 and of course, the Dodgers are number one. I felt bad for not going last year, so I was like, you know what, I gotta go this year, so here I am. How much did you pay for your ticket? $800 Was it worth it? It was definitely worth it for like a one-time experience. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Shelly: I've been a Dodger fan since the '80s when Kirk Gibson hit his infamous home run. Then I married a Dodger fan and then these two became Dodger fans because of that. This is our first World Series. It means a lot. We thought about doing it last year and we kind of talked ourselves out of it, but this year we were like "We're not missing it" cause you just don't know when it's going to come around again. How much did you pay for your ticket? Shelly: I think we paid $850. Nolan: We just waited until Game 2 was over to get our tickets. Once they won, it was kind of a wrap at that point. Was it worth it? Shelly: We'll let you know at the end of the game [laughs]. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Santiago: Since I was born. Last year I came to the first game of the World Series against the New York Yankees. It was very weird, and me and my dad thought we just lost, but then Freddie Freeman came up. It was a very cool moment. It probably won't happen again. [Editor's note: It happened again!] How much did you pay for your ticket? De La Torre: We spent $800 for tickets, so it's definitely worth it. Last year we were here for Game 1, Freddie Freeman, grand slam, so it was worth it, then it's worth it now. And you know, spending time with my son at the ballgame is priceless. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Franco: I started picking it up in like 2017. That's when I really started paying attention. They made it to the World Series. Obviously, we hate the cheaters but it is what it is. How much did you pay for your ticket? Franco: $725. It's already worth it. I'm not even in the stadium yet. Urbina: $660. Franco: I got better seats [laughs]. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? My whole life. Are you serious? The Dodgers actually used to be an affiliate of the Isotopes. I work at the Albuquerque Isotopes. Our triple-A team, they're now the Rockies but we used to be affiliated with the Dodgers so it just goes hand in hand. How much did you pay for your ticket? I paid $800. It's not terrible. I'm behind home plate. I got on Ticketmaster like last Thursday. I was watching the prices. I buy a lot of tickets, so I kind of know the system. So going to Dodger Stadium, I've done it before and so I just knew, just get a ticket and try to get into the game. Was it worth it? Oh, 100%. This is the World Series! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's worth a splurge because in the end, it's the moments that matter. So hopefully the Dodgers get the win. That's the biggest part today is the Dodgers getting the win and having a good time. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Conde: At least 30 years. Since I can remember, that's been my only baseball team. Pena: I'm going to be honest with you, we are not Dodger fans but we are here to support the game of baseball. How much did you pay for your ticket? Pena: We paid around $900 for our tickets to come to the game. We got them at the beginning of this week. We came out here because they [Conde and Torres] actually won the giveaway for our company, so we brought them out to the game through our company DripStix. Was it worth it? Pena: It was really worth the money because it's a beautiful city. This is my first time in the stadium, and I love to travel and go to stadiums. How long have you been a Dodgers fan? Delgado: Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to go to a Dodger game. Born and raised a Dodger fan since I was a kid. My dad took me to the game. Now, I take my kids to the game. It's just a generational thing. Back-to-back championships is hard to do, but we're going to do it. How much did you pay for ticket? Delgado: I paid around $1,000. That [was] the cheapest one. Was it worth it? Avila: Of course. It's the golden ticket right now in L.A.

Late Abbie Larkin goal sees Ireland beat Belgium on aggregate in UEFA Nations League play-off

Ton-up Katie McCabe got her wish, Ireland winning their UEFA Nations League play-off on aggregate against Belgium, albeit losing by a goal, 2-1, in Leuven. But it was Abbie Larkin who grabbed the headlines with a goal two minutes from time and that prevented the game going to extra-time following the first leg finishing 4-2 to the Girls In Green. The tireless Kyra Carusa had made a break towards the box on the right and aimed a cross towards Anna Patten that a defender diverted into Larkin's path. The striker initially misconnected but recovered her composure to toe-poke it home. "Oh God, honestly, one of the best feelings I've ever had," said the 20 year-old Ringsend-born striker afterwards. "Credit to the girls in the second half. We fought through even though the score wasn't going our way. "We never gave up and that shows what we're all about. It shows that we're Irish and we'll never give up. "As soon as the goal went in I was like 'wow'. I actually was about to start crying, it was that good, but I had to focus then for the next two minutes. "I blew my Ma a kiss, to be fair! I'd say she was crying in the stands, but it was amazing. "Even having them here to experience that with me was a feeling I'll never forget and I really appreciate them." For McCabe's winners , there was promotion to League A, with all 16 Section A nations guaranteed at least a play-off when it comes to qualification for the 2027 World Cup to be held in Brazil (24 June - 25 July). Ireland were unchanged from the side that had beaten Belgium 4-2 in the first leg in Dublin , which meant Grace Moloney continued to deputise for the injured Courtney Brosnan in goal. A selection call that wasn't an initial success as the introductions of Patten at half-time and Larkin on the hour transformed from passive to aggressive. Ireland had managed to settle well in the first quarter, not least when Emily Murphy had the goal at her mercy with an early header but failed to hit the target while Aoife Mannion had a shot, taken from inside the box, get past the keeper but blocked by a defender. Belgium had made all the pre-match noises about do-or-die attacking and had made four changes with Everton and Crystal Palace's Justine Vanhaevermaet and Jill Janssens returning from suspension, Zenia Mertens and Marie Detruyer coming in. And they left Ireland trailing just past the half-hour when two wall-passes down the left freed the winger down the line from where a cross and perfectly placed Tessa Wullaert finish breached the Irish defence. Within seven minutes Ireland were two goals down, a hopeful ball forward looked like being swallowed up by the Ireland defence but a poor Caitlin Hayes touch knocked the ball back into Wullaert's path. The Belgium skipper, spotted Moloney had come towards the edge of the box, clipped the ball over the netminder to register her second goal, bringing the sides level on aggregate. The worry at half-time in the Ireland dressing room must have been that their midfield had been swamped, by-passed, as the Belgians spread their players wide dragging Ireland out of shape and, indeed, coach Carla Ward brought in Patton for Ruesha Littlejohn. Ireland started the second-half slowly and contained a considerable amount of pressure before both Marissa Sheeva and Hayes forced saves from Belgian 'keeper Nicky Evrard Larkin had come on between those two chances and soon after was presented with a golden opportunity following a Carusa touch but the Crystal Palace striker pulled her shot across the face of the goal and wide. Despite being on the backfoot for long periods of the first-half Ireland were now enjoying their best phase with play concentrated almost solely in the Belgium half during which some of the home side's challenging passed bordering on spicy - Ireland coach Carla Ward being booked for protesting one of those challenges. Larkin fizzed a 77th minute shot over the bar, Patten had a shot that was handy for the 'keeper to gather, while Carusa got close-on the right but her well hit shot bounced off 'keeper Evrard before Larkin's winning strike. Belgium: Nicky Evrard; Sari Kees, Amber Tysiak, Zenia Mertens, Laura Deloose; Jill Janssens, Justine Vanhaevermaet, Janice Cayman; Marie Detruyer, Tessa Wullaert (Capt), Jarne Teulings. Republic of Ireland: Grace Moloney; Aoife Mannion, Caitlin Hayes, Jessie Stapleton, Chloe Mustaki, Katie McCabe (Capt); Ruesha Littlejohn, Denise O'Sullivan, Marissa Sheva; Emily Murphy, Kyra Carusa. Referee: Stéphanie Frappart (France)

‘Get out there and ravish!’ Woman ‘out of food stamps’ shows off stolen goods, urges others to steal at will and ‘infiltrate’ churches for cash

(WARNING: Graphic language in some videos in this story) Four weeks into the federal government shutdown, a woman claiming she’s out of food stamps is bragging online about stealing from a grocery store while urging others to steal at will and “infiltrate” churches to get cash. The woman who goes by “consiracycutiee” and has a username of @jaalagotanattitude posted her illegal shoplifting exploits on social media, using extremely graphic language. “Everything out here is yours,” she said. “Whether or not you take it, they call that sh** free will. I call that sh** eminent domain. You know what I’m saying? One thing I learned from the white men: Take it!” NEW: After bragging about all the things she just stole from the store because her food stamps got cut off, woman tells her followers to “infiltrate” churches and get rent money. “So this is what I stole, okay? They wanted $9 for this. I said, Oh, I don’t got $9.” “Whether or… pic.twitter.com/lxKnIEXROp — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 28, 2025 “I don’t give a f*** who’s already sitting there. I don’t give a f*** if your land was already established. B*tch, it’s mine now, and I want it. That is what we should be preaching in the land to the f***ing masses. “Act more like a white man. Take it for yourself, b*tch, and you won’t be worried about who don’t got it. You see what I’m saying? Get out there and ravish!” “Last but not least, go into that church and infiltrate. Don’t be stupid. Get in there. Ask them for some rent money. Ask them for some help. You’ve been tithing. Say your lights is off. You need a stipend. You need some food. Go to the church.” She concluded: “If the pastor don’t help you out, blast him on social media. Quickest way to f*** up the church’s money is ask for some.” Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how! Another foul-mouthed woman asked anyone who plans to steal to let her know so she could join the thievery. “Let’s band together and take these mother****ing markets down, b*tch,” she exclaimed. “I’m just as frustrated, I’m just as hungry and honestly, I’m just as f***ing broke. So if y’all are gonna f*** sh** up once they take y’all’s stamps, put me in the f***ing game, coach.” Woman says “if y’all gone steal, let me know… so I can join y’all” if their EBT gets canceled. pic.twitter.com/JSHYJoVNtB — EBT of TikTok (@EBTofTikTok) October 28, 2025 One man urged people to steal irrespective of their financial aid being cut off. “In light of the government cutting SNAP benefits Nov. 1, I want to remind everybody that stealing is never wrong. Sealing from multi-billion-dollar businesses is always OK, if not encouraged.” Man says people should steal, whether or not their EBT gets cutoff. “Stealing is never wrong.” pic.twitter.com/Hi7yD2Z5OJ — EBT of TikTok (@EBTofTikTok) October 28, 2025 “Five-finger discount. It’s the best discount you could ever get,” he surmised. But there are warnings appearing on social media about potentially fatal pushback against any thefts. “I’ve also seen a lot of videos talking about how people are gonna grab baskets whenever they come out of the store. That way they’re not stealing from a store, they’re stealing from an individual,” explained one man. “Well, you grab my shopping cart full of groceries that I bought and paid for with my f***ing money, and you gonna hear two sounds. There are gonna be three sounds maybe. “The first sound you’re gonna hear is me saying, ‘Ahem, that’s a bad idea there. You better walk the f*** on.’ If you don’t walk the f*** on [as he apparently audibly cocks a gun], that’ll be the next sound you f***ing hear.” “And the third sound is a sound I’ll hear, but you won’t.” Anyone considering stealing groceries better listen carefully. Watch until the end because the last thing he says is spot on!

You damn right, ’cause that person that decided to steal from me, they’ve already decided that that’s what their life is worth. “Well, they made that decision. They made that choice. You don’t f***ing steal from me. F*** around and find out.” Follow Joe on X @JoeKovacsNews

Contributor: How Trump's antagonism of Canada is affecting this year's World Series

Louis Acosta, a Dodgers fan from Santa Clarita, flew to Toronto on Friday to support his home town team for their fifth World Series appearance in the last 9 years. During Game 1 at the Rogers Centre, he proudly wore his Dodgers shirt and cap amid the opening ceremonies. Prior to the game, Acosta visited a bar inside the stadium where a Blue Jays fan offered to buy him a beer after noticing his L.A. team gear. “It was weird,” Acosta said laughing. “The guy didn’t mind that I was a Dodgers fan as long as I hadn’t voted for Donald Trump.” It might seem odd that the World Series and politics are so entwined this year. Baseball games are often where people go to escape arguments about the polarized state of our country and enjoy rooting for their favorite players and teams. But this season, Canadians are baseball mad, fanatical about supporting the Blue Jays, Canada’s only Major League Baseball team. They are also politically angry for reasons that are clear. Since President Trump was inaugurated in January, he’s gone out of his way to antagonize Canadians, suggesting that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, referring to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “Governor” and, most importantly for Canada’s economic well-being, imposing steep tariffs on Canadian products coming into the U.S. On Saturday, Trump announced an additional 10% tariff on Canada, imposed simply because he didn’t like a television ad. The commercial, paid for by the province of Ontario to air during the World Series, features President Reagan’s anti-tariff rhetoric from a 1987 radio address. And as the U.S. is Canada’s biggest export market, the economic sanctions on Canada are starting to bite. While there’s a complex mix of personalities in all countries, Canadians are generally considered to be friendly and thoughtful, and not prone to outbursts of nationalistic anger. At sporting events you rarely see groups of Canadians shouting “We’re number one!” At Game 1 on Friday night, which the Blue Jays handily won 11 to 4, Toronto fan Riley Keast explained how he saw the difference between Canadians and Americans. “Historically Canadians have had what you might call a soft-patriotism, where there is not a lot of flag waving and aggressiveness about it,” said Keast, who works downtown in Toronto's financial industry. “With the Trump tariffs it all changed and now you see Canada’s strong patriotism.” A walk through Toronto’s neighborhoods reveals signs of Canadians’ pride, and their willingness to fight back against what many see as an unnecessary humiliation. Signs on grocery stores windows read “Proudly Canadian” and inside the store there are notes that indicate which products are made inside its borders. At liquor stores run by the Ontario Liquor Control Board, a government agency, there are shelves of “USA Alternatives,” where American wines — including California varietals — used to be sold. One mother at the game, who had her and her daughter’s faces painted with the Blue Jays logo, joked that she’s “not losing any sleep over Donald Trump.” When I stopped to talk to a construction worker who was wearing a Blue Jays’ hoodie, he declared proudly, “This is not a series between Toronto and Los Angeles, this is Canada against the United States.” Obviously, he didn’t think Canadians would soon be in combat with their American counterparts, but his comments weren’t entirely hyperbolic either. There is an historical context to the current tension. Alan Taylor, a Pulitzer Prize-winning professor of history from the University of Virginia, told me that Trump is not the first American president to talk about the possibility of annexing Canada. In fact, in the 19th century the idea was fairly commonplace. “When the United States and Britain and Canada were allies after World War I and World War II, and we needed each other during the Cold War, this idea of annexation vanished,” Taylor said. “So why Trump has decided to embrace this in such an insulting way towards the people of Canada as if they don’t value their own sovereignty shows his utter ignorance of Canada. To be blunt, he’s unstable.” In the meantime, Blue Jays hats and jerseys were ubiquitous throughout Toronto during the team’s first World Series home games since 1993. Women had fingernails painted with the logo, and a festive atmosphere prevailed across Canada’s largest city and throughout the country. During the games, no one booed when the American or Canadian national anthems were played, contrary to how U.S. fans booed “O Canada” during the 4 Nations Face-Off in February, and at various sporting events since. The rudest that Blue Jays fans got was chanting “We don’t need you” when Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani was up to bat, a reference to Ohtani choosing L.A. over Toronto when he signed as a free agent in 2023. Technically, the chant isn't accurate, as the Blue Jays managed only four hits during their Game 2 loss. This week, back in Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5, the Dodgers are playing not just against Toronto, but against “Canada’s team.” And interestingly, both first basemen have Canadian roots. One is Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Blue Jays Gold Glover who was born in 1999 while his father starred for the now-defunct Montreal Expos (who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2005). The other is Dodgers 2024 World Series MVP Freddie Freeman, who was born in Southern California but has dual citizenship, as his parents were raised in Canada. Freeman even played for Canada in the World Baseball Classic in 2017 and 2023 to honor his mother, who died in 2000. Dodgers fan Louis Acosta said that if he makes it to this week’s games in Chavez Ravine, he’s going to be just as generous to the Canadians in town to cheer on the Blue Jays as their fans were to him in Toronto. “If I see someone with a Blue Jays hat, I’m going to reach out my hand and say, ‘Welcome to Los Angeles. Can I buy you a beer?’” Kelly Candaele produced the documentary “A League of Their Own,” about his mother’s years playing in the All-American Girl’s Professional Baseball League. He was born in Vancouver, Canada.

Emmerdale issues major update after several huge deaths

An emotional moment (Picture: ITV) Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) received a very important update about the limo crash in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale. In February, a group of male residents and Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) set off out of the village in one limo, while a group of female residents and Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) headed out in the second vehicle. In the limo that was being driven by Caleb Miligan (William Ash), things became incredibly tense when he confronted Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) after he slept with Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly). The group very nearly hit an oncoming lorry, but Caleb was able to swerve in time and prevent and severe injuries. In the limo that was being driven by Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) though, they weren’t as lucky. Amy and Leyla died in hospital (Picture: ITV) Charity spotted Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) in the middle of the road, which also forced her to come off the road. The limo ended up stopping in the middle of a frozen lake, forcing the group to very carefully make their way across the water and onto dry land. But before they could do this, the group realised that Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) had died as a result of hitting her head during the crash. One by one, the females and Liam made their way over the ice, but disaster struck once again for them, when Amy fell through and into the water. She was pulled out, but died in hospital a while later. The final woman who died during this was Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi), who had sustained a horrible injury during the limo skidding along the ice. She also died in hospital, leaving son Jacob broken. Their friend Suzy died as a result of a head injury she sustained during the limo crash (Picture: ITV) We learnt a short while later that Noah was on the road because a few hours prior, he was with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous). Joe had spiked Noah and taken him to a private hospital. He had his blood tested to see if they were a match, with the intention of illegally taking Noah’s kidney from him if he was. Dodgy Doctor Crowley (James Hillier) confirmed he wasn’t though, leaving him and Joe to dump him at the side of the road. The events that happened beforehand mean Joe was responsible for the deaths of Leyla, Amy and Suzy but with zero concrete evidence, he was never going to face the consequences. This left Kerry, Matty and Jacob aware of what was coming when they sat down to read the coroner’s report in the latest episode of the ITV soap. The document stated that Leyla, Amy and Suzy’s deaths have been ruled as accidental. The news didn’t surprise them, but it was still incredibly difficult to process. Joe Tate was ultimately responsible for the three deaths (Picture: ITV) The trio are connected for life over what they’ve all been through, which meant they all made a great deal of effort to support each other. This unfortunately was interrupted by Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), who accused Kerry of drinking on the job, unaware of what was going on. Kerry didn’t explain the context to Jai, so he didn’t hesitate in sacking her from the depot. And this news isn’t going to go down very well with Caleb Miligan (William Ash) when he finds out soon…

EastEnders legend declares she won’t be back after being missing from screens

Have we seen the last of her? (Picture: BBC/Metro) EastEnders has only just seen the return of the Grand Dame of Walford, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), but she left almost as quickly as she came back, determined to get half sister Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) away from the square following the hideous attack she suffered at the hands of Joel Marshall (Max Murray). Before she left, however, her feud with Zoe was, at first, quashed, then reignited after Zoe and Vicki engaged in a vicious catfight in the Square. As the two women went head to head, Zoe dropped one of her trademark bombshells on Sharon, gleefully revealing that Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harmon) is the father of her missing son. Although she successfully brought Sharon on side, with her offering to fund the search operation, Kat was later utterly horrified to discover that Zoe had lied about her child’s parentage in order to use Sharon’s money. Zoe told a massive lie… (Picture: BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron) …to use Sharon’s money to find her child (Picture: BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron) Though she pleaded with Zoe to come clean, the younger Slater refused, leaving Kat’s stomach churning over the deceit. As she over heard Vicki clashing with Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw), with Vicki spelling out that there’s only right and wrong, with nothing in between, Kat’s mind was made up. With Vicki having heard from Sharon that she’s searching for Dennis’ daughter to obtain DNA to help with the search as well as cashing in her ISA, she panicked that her sister was getting in far too deep, and potentially projecting her feelings about losing Denny (Bleu Landau), her last connection to Dennis, onto the situation. As Vicki attempted to reach Zoe to fill her in, Kat stopped her and prepared to spill the tea. Though Zoe appeared and fought to keep Kat quiet, she ultimately revealed the truth. Vicki discovered the truth (Picture: BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron) Returning home, Vicki rang Sharon immediately and filled her in on what she’d learned. Though we only heard Vicki’s side of the conversation, it was clear that Sharon was utterly crushed. As she shared a glass of wine with Sharon’s half-brother, Zack Hudson (James Farrar), Vicki shared her concerns about Sharon’s mental state, informing him that Sharon was heading to America to stay with Michelle Fowler (Jenna Russell) and had no intention of returning to Walford. While Zack played the cooler head, urging Vicki to not seek revenge, Vicki swore that she couldn’t let Zoe get away with the hurt she’d inflicted on their family. Could Vicki have stuck to her word and is she behind the warning shot left for Zoe at the Vic?
