But the on/off couple won’t be sticking around in Walford, and EastEnders fans will see them saying goodbye to the Square as they set off to start a new life. Sob.
But it’s not all doom and gloom: it’s been announced that their new life will be documented with their very own spin off show!
Discussing the Kat and Alfie show, executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: “In the next few weeks on EastEnders, viewers will witness several huge twists for Kat and Alfie Moon that will change their lives forever.
“Now is the perfect time to take two of EastEnders’ most beloved and enduring characters out of their comfort zone as they head to Ireland to search for answers to some very big questions.
“My team here are very excited about creating a whole new drama that stands apart from EastEnders while taking our style of storytelling to a place of stories, myths, secrets and immeasurable beauty.”
Shane Richie, who plays Alfie, said he and Jessie Wallace [Kat] can’t wait to start filming their new adventure.
He said: “Both Jessie and I are absolutely thrilled to be given this amazing opportunity.
“To have a whole drama focused around Kat and Alfie is a huge honour for us both and we just can’t wait to start filming.”
