Phil ‘set to destroy’ Kat and Alfie in EastEnders as he issues major threat
He wasn't pleased to see their reunion!
Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is not a happy bunny after discovering ex-wife Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) reunion with her ex-husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) in EastEnders.
Phil and Kat broke up at the beginning of the year when his sister Sam (Kim Medcalf) exposed his affair with Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit).
Kat was left broken by the revelation, deciding that she’d rather be homeless than have to live with him. Unfortunately, a few nights spent in the hectic Slater residence proved too much.
Evil Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) offered her free accommodation – which seemed too good to be true – and it was.
The two enjoyed a whirlwind romance, whilst he was secretly planning get his hands on Phil’s business assets during the divorce settlement.
Alfie then invited her, alongside their children, to live with him and ever since we’ve seen their friendship blossom into something more serious.
Sadly they faced a hurdle when eldest son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) began abusing Kat and his siblings, and at one point lied to Phil – telling him that his mum was interested in reconciling.
She charged over to Phil’s house and told him that that was definitely not on the cards, and couldn’t help but show his disappointment.
Last week, during a difficult social services meeting, Alfie held Kat’s hand tightly and it became evident that there was still a spark between them.
Upon returning home, the pair enjoyed a kiss and later, decided to get back together following some encouragement from Jean (Gillian Wright), Stacey (Lacey Turner), Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and Freddie (Bobby Brazier).
After some initial frostiness whilst they got to terms with being together again, a fire in the kitchen broke the ice and they playfully chased one another around the flat with a fire extinguisher.
Kat and Alfie: A complex EastEnders love story
On-off EastEnders couple Kat Slater and Alfie Moon have a long and complicated history, which began when they were part of a will-they-won’t-they storyline while working behind the bar of the Queen Vic in 2002.
After finally getting together, they tied the knot on Christmas Day 2003, but were ripped apart a year later by Kat’s jealous ex, gangster Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs), who threatened to kill Alfie unless Kat slept with him.
Realising their feelings for one another were still there, they gave their marriage another shot and left Walford for pastures new at the end of 2005.
Five years later, they made a bombshell comeback when it was revealed Kat had been having an affair with Alfie’s cousin Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) and was pregnant with his son.
They eventually reconciled, with Alfie agreeing to bring Tommy up as his own. However, they were heartbroken when their baby ‘died’ – before it was later revealed Ronnie Mitchell had actually swapped their baby with her son James, who had died from cot death.
After a joyous reunion with baby Tommy, the pair were torn apart again when Kat’s subsequent affair with Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) was exposed.
But a reconciliation eventually followed – as did their twin sons Bert and Ernie – before Kat and Alfie swapped the Square for Spain in 2016 after winning big on the lottery.
Two years later, a broke Kat returned to Walford having split from Alfie again, after cheating on him. When he later followed home, the couple had a short-lived reunion before Alfie was revealed as the father of Kat’s cousin Hayley Slater’s (Katie Jarvis) baby daughter Cherry.
With their relationship in tatters, Alfie did a bunk from Walford in 2019 after scamming £50k out of Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), who Kat later went on to have an unlikely relationship with.
When Alfie returned to Albert Square again three years later, he sabotaged Kat’s wedding to Phil, but it wasn’t enough to split them up and they rescheduled their nuptials.
However, after Kat discovered Phil had cheated on her with Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit), the pair split and she moved in with Alfie.
In tonight’s episode, the pair were enjoying a coffee together in the cafe when Freddie arrived to express his concerns about Bianca (Patsy Palmer), who has seemingly vanished.
As viewers of the BBC soap know, she’s actually being held hostage by killer Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman).
However, the mood soon dropped when Phil strolled in and saw them together. Word had obviously spread about their reunion, and he told Alfie to ‘enjoy [the relationship] while it lasts’.
Kat approached him, apologising for not coming to him sooner with the news.
He came clean to her about selling Peggy’s nightclub, wanting to have total transparency, and said that Tommy, Bert and Ernie were welcome at his house whenever they liked.
Is this a fresh start for them both, or is Phil going to try and bring #Kalfie to a halt?
