EastEnders spoilers: Alfie’s false alarm
Alfie calls Kat about a potential burglary at the Slater household. Attacking the interlopers with a toy baseball bat, Alfie is shocked when he recognises the culprits – it’s Freddie and Big Mo!
Kat and Jean are delighted to have Freddie and Big Mo back.
However, Freddie feels left out when he realises that there’s no room at Alfie’s, and he’ll have to stay at Mo.31.
But after one too many pointed comments suggesting that she and Alfie are an item again, Kat decides to prove a point. She says she will move out so Freddie can move back in.
Freddie plays matchmaker
Freddie, however, is determined to get Kat and Alfie back together. He steps in, putting a stop to Kat’s big move.
But will his plan to reunite the former couple work? Or has too much gone on for Kat and Alfie to ever get back together and try again?
Elsewhere, Big Mo sets her sights on Stevie. They hit it off over drinks in The Vic and then the pair head back to No.31 to continue their evening – much to the amusement of Freddie, Anna and Bobby.
But is this the next great romance for Walford? Or is Stevie and Mo – both as dodgy as they come – just too much of the same thing to ever work?
