Character of the Month: Kat Moon

Kat arrived on the Square 12 years ago. Since then? She's had more girly nights out than you've had hot dinners, cold dinners, lunches, breakfasts, brunches, afternoon teas, and late-night snacks COMBINED.
She's contributed tirelessly to the Square's annual slap quota... and snog quota.
She's been a barmaid, she's been in prison, she's landlady of the Vic (i.e. queen of the realm), she's had three weddings, she's had a baby, she's lost her baby, she's been reunited with him, because of her we can't hear the words "you ain't my mother!" without shouting back "YES I AM!"
She's made Alfie's life complete... but also a nightmare. She gets knocked down, she gets up again. She messes up. We love her.
And that's why she's our character of the month! Tell us why you love her too!

And yet, despite all that, no animals were ever mistreated in the making of her Walford couture (though quite a few sequins have given their lives in service!)

totally right too - she was a visionary with the animal prints... i hear the fashion industry keeps a close eye on her wardrobe when they're preparing their new season collections...

She is everything you'd hope for in Eastenders - strong but vulnerable, feisty but sensitive, melodramatic, proud, funny, great to look at in an over- made-up, tarty way and completely believeable. I also relish it when she giggles - it makes me smile with her. Jessie Wallace exemplifies why some soap actors are the best on tv. Her portrayal can be as subtle as it is strong and always entirely convincing. She is one of the principal reasons I'm such a huge fan of Eastenders and I hope she never leaves - watching her is compelling and a joy.

In her original stint, she was iconic and compelling to watch yet I struggle to watch her now. She's gone from one of my favourite characters to one of my least favourites unfortunately. My personal faves are Ronnie and Roxy!

She has been well and truly ruined and should have never returned. Her and Alfie's dramas are so tedious and I find myself hard to care at all.
Stacey and Ronnie have surpassed Kat's popularity. Ronnie in particular, remains by far my personal favourite.

Ok, some of her outfits are questionnable, but overall she is fantastic! All she wants to do is take care of her family and people she loves, and will fight to the end for them. She rocks!
