There she was, making her grand entrance! The beloved Kat Slater returned to EastEnders, much to the delight of fans who have been eagerly anticipating her comeback. As the BBC soap celebrates four decades on our screens, tonight's live episode did not disappoint with a dramatic explosion, viewer votes, and even a birth - all happening in real time.
But it was Kat's appearance that stole the show, causing a frenzy on social media as fans couldn't contain their excitement. Earlier this week, concerns were raised as to whether Kat would be part of the celebrations at all. Some eagle-eyed fans pointed out her absence from the wedding of Honey and Billy Mitchell, as well as the explosive events that rocked the Queen Vic.
But all fears were put to rest as Kat made her way back to the Square. In the episode, she strolled into the café, clearly confused about what had transpired. She even remarked that she had only been gone for a few hours. Fans couldn't contain their joy, taking to Twitter to express their happiness at seeing their beloved character back where she belongs.
And some fans were convinced that Kat would bring her daughter Zoe Slater along with her. Actress Michelle had dropped hints that she was open to returning to Albert Square, leading some to believe that a mother-daughter reunion was on the cards. Alas, it seems like we'll have to wait a little longer for that to happen.
But Kat wasn't the only surprise in store for viewers this week. Fans were left stunned when Angie Watts appeared in a vision to Sharon Watts, with Anita Dobson reprising her role. And Grant Mitchell also made a comeback, answering the call for help from his brother Phil Mitchell.
