It’ll be a full Moon this Christmas as Kat and Alfie return to Walford. Despite leaving Albert Square after winning the lottery for a new life in Spain, the family make a brief return to their old stomping ground to see Stacey. However, it is clear that things aren’t all they seem and, as usual when Kat and Alfie are around, drama is not far behind…
There are still many secrets that are yet to be answered. Will Kat learn that she has another son that she doesn’t even know exists? Has Alfie admitted the truth to his wife about his brain tumour? As they head home to Walford it seems these secrets are set to explode. This then sets the scene for their new BBC One drama which will see Kat and Alfie head off to Ireland.
On Kat and Alfie’s return Dominic Treadwell-Collins said “Christmas in Walford is always the perfect time for uncomfortable family reunions – and Kat and Alfie’s brief return will lead tears, laughter… and a mountain of secrets being unearthed for the Slater family. As Kat and Alfie hold on to each other and their marriage, the discovery that Kat has a secret son will lead to seismic waves through the Slaters – and ultimately lead to the Moons realising that the answers to so many questions lie across the sea in Ireland”.
Speaking of their return Shane Richie said “I’m really excited to be heading back to EastEnders with Jessie this Christmas. It’s wonderful to be back in Walford and to be playing out several big twists to Kat and Alfie’s story that will set the scene for their new life in Ireland.”
Jessie Wallace adds “I can’t wait to start filming these episodes. The drama that Kat and Alfie have in store when they return to Walford is huge and although secrets will be revealed, more questions will be raised leading them to head off to Ireland in search of answers...”
