If you’re an *EastEnders* fan, you might recall a wild spin-off from the 2000s centered around the

notorious Slater family. Recently, fans have been reminiscing on Reddit about *Slaters in Detention*, a

one-off special that put the spotlight on Big Mo, Kat, Lynne, Little Mo, and Zoe Slater. This special

episode captured the chaotic and hilarious night they all ended up in a prison cell after being arrested following a drunken school disco-themed night out.

The premise was as wild as it sounds. The Slater women, known for their fiery personalities and dramatic lives, spent the night in a cramped cell, reflecting on their tumultuous lives in Albert Square while waiting for someone to bail them out. As you’d expect, the police officers on duty were in for a surprise; they quickly realized they had no idea what they were in for when they locked up this lively group. True to form, Kat Slater kept things lively, even using her one phone call to order pizza to the station, much to the bewilderment of the officers.

The episode featured montages of the Slaters’ most iconic moments from the show, giving fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Highlights included Kat’s tumultuous love life, Mo’s infamous feud with Pat Butcher, Lynne’s relationship drama with Gary Hobbs, Little Mo’s harrowing ordeal with Trevor Morgan, and, of course, the bombshell revelation that Kat was actually Zoe’s mother. These flashbacks added depth to the episode, reminding viewers of just how much the Slater women had been through.

In the end, it was Charlie Slater who arrived to rescue his daughters from their latest misadventure. However, in true Slater style, there was one more twist: just as Charlie thought he had gathered all his daughters, he was left stunned when Belinda Slater was also brought into the station for a completely unrelated offense. It was a fitting end to a spin-off that perfectly captured the chaos and unpredictability that the Slaters bring to the Square.

Fans on Reddit have fond memories of this special, with one user recalling how they and their sister used to watch it repeatedly as kids, expressing their nostalgia for the episode. The DVD special holds a special place in the hearts of many *EastEnders* fans, serving as a reminder of the golden days of the show.

*EastEnders* has produced several other spin-offs over the years, many of which featured fan-favorite characters. Kat herself starred in the controversial series *Redwater*, where she and Alfie Moon traveled to Ireland in search of the son Kat didn’t know she had. Another iconic spin-off was *Last Tango in Walford*, which focused on Bianca Jackson and Ricky Butcher. The first-ever *EastEnders* spin-off, *Civvy Street*, aired on Boxing Day in 1988 and explored the younger lives of Lou Beale, Ethel Skinner, and Reg Cox.

More recently, *EastEnders* has embraced the digital age by releasing mini-series on platforms like TikTok, including *Spiked*, which revealed how Anna Knight’s drink was tampered with. These mini-series show that the *EastEnders* spin-off tradition is alive and well, continuing to provide fans with new ways to enjoy the world of Walford.

So, if you’re in the mood for a blast from the past, maybe it’s time to revisit some of these iconic *EastEnders* spin-offs. The Slaters’ wild night in *Slaters in Detention* is definitely one that *EastEnders* fans won’t want to forget.
