In the latest scenes, Penny and Vinny head to their GP to talk through their options. The doctor bluntly explains that Penny’s pregnancy would come with different considerations due to her being in a wheelchair. But instead of addressing Penny directly, he directs much of the conversation towards Vinny.
Understandably, Penny grows increasingly frustrated. It is Vinny who steps up, making it clear that Penny does not need anyone speaking for her. Once again, he shows just how deeply he cares.
Penny and Vinny make a life-changing decision in EastEnders
After getting all the information they need, Penny and Vinny finally sit down and have an honest conversation. The conversation fans have been waiting all week for them to have.
After listening to Penny open up about how she feels about the prospect of being a mum, Vinny admits he would love to be a dad.
He reveals that he would like to have a baby – if Penny is the mum – and that he will support her with everything, even the night feeds. She says she feels protected while he is by her side, and they both agree they want this baby.
As they celebrate with a kiss, Gina and Harry walk in and realise they have interrupted something big.
Penny jokingly asks Gina how she would feel about having a flatmate who stays awake all night, makes loads of noise and doesn’t pay rent. Gina looks confused until Penny reveals she is pregnant.
Gina is thrilled for her frined and they hug – while Harry and Vinny also share a moment, too.
