We haven’t seen Kat and Alfie in Walford since they left to start a new life in Spain after winning the lottery.
But it’ll be a full Moon this Christmas as they’re coming BACK to Albert Square for Christmas 2015.
Kat and Alfie say they’re back in town to see pregnant Stacey, but it quickly becomes clear that things aren’t all they seem.
And, as usual when Kat and Alfie are around, drama is not far behind…
Will Kat learn that she has another son (rumoured to be Sean Slater) that she doesn’t even know exists?
Has Alfie admitted the truth to his wife about his brain tumour?
And will we FINALLY learn the truth about Stacey’s mysterious key?
Well, according to show boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins, we won’t be disappointed.
He 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 added: “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...”
