EastEnders wedding thrown into chaos as Kat calls things off with Alfie
A misunderstanding puts Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) wedding to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) in jeopardy next week, but will the EastEnders finally have reason to celebrate?
It’s been quite a quick turnaround for the couple, who are engaged this week in the spur of the moment.
Kat had invested in a new limousine business, and when Alfie decided to stage a fake wedding shoot, he decided to put the wheels into motion and make it official.
Little did they realise, trouble was brewing back at home, as son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) used Alfie’s credit card to purchase pornography online.
In upcoming scenes, Kat’s left reeling after stumbling across the explicit video on the family laptop – completely unaware that it was actually Tommy who bought it.
Assuming the worst, she opens up to Jean Slater (Gillian Wright), fearing that her fiancé might be turning to adult content, especially with things having cooled off in the bedroom since his cancer treatment.
Blissfully unaware and trying to reignite the spark, Alfie whips up a romantic meal, but Kat beats him to it – arriving in full seduction mode.
The atmosphere soon turns frosty when Alfie slows things down, and a wounded and offended Kat storms off.
Jean urges Kat to have an honest chat with her partner, while Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) gives Alfie his own shoulder to cry on.
Eventually, the pair sit down for a long-overdue heart-to-heart, hoping to make amends from the situation they’ve found themselves in. But the peace is short-lived when Kat brings up that video. As the situation escalates, they realise that Tommy is the one responsible.
The teen has developed a worrying obsession with adult content, ever since striking up a friendship with newcomer Joel Marshall (Max Murray).
His dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and Ross’ girlfriend Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) both believe that he could do with some positive male influences, and are pleased to see him bonding with Tommy over his wedding speech.
What they don’t realise is that both lads are entrapped in a dangerous web of online content.
As Kat and Alfie’s big day rolls around, their happiness is already under threat. Worries about Tommy and the video loom large, and although Alfie vows to have a word with his son, chaos (in true Walford fashion) keeps getting in the way.
By the time he confesses to bungling several wedding tasks, Kat’s had enough, and calls the whole thing off!
Uh-oh.
Alfie is left stunned and furious, charging out of The Vic in frustration. Meanwhile, Kat drowns her sorrows with Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) and Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), and the trio swap notes on love and loss, with Elaine (or should that be E-laine) offering some unexpected food for thought.
As Alfie gets a pep talk from someone unexpected, he’s left wondering whether he and Kat still stand a chance.
With emotions running high, Kat and Alfie finally sit down to talk. Will they finally say ‘I do’?
