Redwater, the EastEnders spin-off series featuring Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie (Shane Ritchie) Moon, has promised to be like nothing we've ever seen before.

The story follows the much adored couple to Ireland in search of Kat's long-lost son and promises to be full of twists and turns when it hits out screen this Summer. Fans are also speculating that it may be the end for Kat and Alf. Sob.

Ahead of filming in Ireland, where Jessie and Shane have been staying wince March, Jessie has been showing off her new hair 'do over on Twitter and revealed that her new flowing locks were fitted especially for Kat.

She captioned the snaps: "I AM IN LOVE WITH MY NEW HAIR!."

Fans of the show (and us) are far more used to seeing Kat with a shoter hair do, which is usually cropped just above her shoulders. So could there be a reason for the new look?

Executive producer of EastEnders, Dominic Treadwell Collins, has been teasing us rotten with sneaky shots of the Dublin landscape for months. And as recently revealed that he was stepping down from EastEnders,* Redwater* is shaping up to be one of his last every storylines.

So will Kat and Alfie go out with a bang? Or get the happy ending they deserve?

Shane recently revealed to EastEnders that this is probably the last time they return to the soap:

"We leave on screen and we’re not coming back as far as we know. That’s Kat and Alfie gone. We could come back but it all depends what happens in Ireland."

The suspense!
