Stacey Slater is thrilled to see Big Mo back on the Square next week – but her joy turns to horror when she learns that Kat is dead.
We’ve been waiting for the Slaters to be reunited for months – ever since the news that Laila Morse, Jessie Wallace and Gillian Wright would be reprising their roles as Big Mo, Kat and Jean Slater, fans have been guessing how the famous family would come back.

Stacey is miffed when she realises she has missed calls on her phone from Big Mo on Friday 16th March – but it isn’t until she gets home and comes face-to-face with the lady herself that she realises something is wrong.
