EastEnders’ Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) has told one hell of a lie in order to bring husband Alfie (Shane Richie) back to Albert Square.
As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Alfie left the area last month on a mission to save his step-daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan).
She had been staying with her cousin Stacey (Lacey Turner) and was clearly in a bad way, creating an elaborate lie so that her family would believe that Spanish loansharks were hunting her down.
Alfie was summoned to Staey’s flat to try and sort the situation, but when Kat followed him, a spooked Zoe climbed out of the window and ran away.
She was begged to return, but Zoe asserted that she’d done something ‘so bad’ that her family wouldn’t want to speak to her. The next day, Stacey received a notification from her credit card company that a flight had been booked to Barcelona.
Fearing the worst, Alfie decided to follow – telling his suspicious wife that he was actually going to stay with brother Spencer (Christopher Parker) in Australia.
In his absence, Kat has struggled immensely. Their son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) has landed himself in hot water once again by stealing vapes from the Minute Mart, and she couldn’t help but shake off her doubts about his whereabouts.
This was only intensified in tonight’s instalments, when Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) told Kat that Alfie had reached out to Stacey.
Jean had overheard Stace’ chatting to him on the phone, explaining that he’d reached a dead end in his search. She quickly brushed off the conversation, unaware that her mum would later drop her in it.
Kat demanded answers, and called Spencer. She apologised for it being so late, but said it was a matter of urgency that she spoke to Alfie because her grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse) had been knocked over by a milk truck and was dead!
Of course, this hadn’t happened.

’ had to make an even bigger lie. She said that Alfie had suffered another cancer scare, and had gone to Spain to clear his head.
Kat was distraught, but seemed to accept the explanation. She headed home, and Stacey quickly contacted Alfie to tell him that he must go along with the story to save his marriage.
Finally getting to speak with her husband, Kat asserted that she wanted a proper apology upon his return.
