Alfie’s heartbreak as Kat turns to other men as he admits love in EastEnders
Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) was left heartbroken by ex-wife Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) on Monday’s EastEnders amid hopes of a romantic reunion for the pair.
The former Queen Vic landlord had finally been ready to admit his feelings for Kat when he spotted her flirting with two men in the pub.
The pair have been spending more time together in recent months after Kat and their children moved in with Alfie following her split from Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
However, recent weeks have been particularly testing for them, after social services found out their son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) had been abusing Kat and hurting his younger twin brothers.
Kat was devastated when Tommy was taken into care, and all-out Slater war erupted when Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) later confessed she’d been the one who called the social.
On Monday, Alfie sought to try and get Kat’s relationship with her relatives back on track, plotting with Jean’s daughter Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) to arrange a chance meeting in The Vic.
Kat eventually decided to hear Jean out, who explained she’d made the call knowing how hard it was to parent a troubled teenager after her experiences with son Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky).
After things further thawed between Kat and Stacey, Kat tenderly thanked Alfie for helping them to resolve things.
But he was then saddened as he turned around to see Kat and Stacey chatting up two men across the pub.
‘Sometimes, the timing just ain’t right,’ Freddie told Alfie.
Is Kat and Alfie’s reunion over before it’s even begun?
