The River: Drama at Cobra and Paulina’s wedding
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about The River, it’s that we should always expect the unexpected. There are always plot twists and you can never say you’ve got it all figured out. Last week’s episodes of the show had all kinds of reactions from fans. Missed it? Well, we’ve got you covered.
Cobra and Paulina get married
We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time and it finally happened! Paulina and Cobra got married and we couldn’t be happier. The wedding was beautiful and was attended by their friends and family members.
And, just as everyone was in a cheerful spirit, Angelina came through with the drama. You didn’t think the wedding would be perfect, right? Because if you did then you clearly haven’t been following Paulina and Cobra’s relationship.
The last time they planned to get married, Angelina revealed that she had a child with Cobra. On their second wedding attempt, she came back to claim that she’s carrying his child. But that was not enough to stop the wedding. So, what’s the next best thing? Well, it’s always a good idea to come dressed a bride – to a wedding that’s not even yours!

She gatecrashed the wedding and started telling everyone that there won’t be a wedding because she’s carrying Cobra’s child. Oh, and she told Paulina that she must be desperate to marry someone who has two children with another woman. She even demanded food. Sjoe! The disrespect.
Angelina and her friends must have thought that this would finally get Cobra to leave Paulina. But all it did was get her taken away by the cops.
Oupa and Percy are back
Whoa! Just when we thought we’d never see them again, Oupa and Percy decide to make a comeback. In case you’ve forgotten, these two pulled a disappearing act after one of their heists went terribly wrong a few months ago. They were close to getting caught but somehow managed to escape, leaving Cobra all alone in the mess.
Anyway, it seems that all has been forgotten now and they made an unexpected return for their friend’s wedding. We won’t lie, we were really happy to see them, they’re always the life of the party. Of course, wherever Oupa and Percy go, you can guarantee that drama will follow. This time, they promised to get Cobra a cow for his wedding, but they forgot to mention that they would steal it. As you can imagine, Cobra was not too pleased.
