However, it seems Kathy’s finally blown her cover by returning to Walford, and actress Gillian Taylforth was seen filming the arrest scenes on location in Notting Hill in west London.

In Monday’s ‘EastEnders’ (24 August), it was revealed that Phil Mitchell has known that Kathy’s alive for three years, and we can’t see that information going down well when her sons Ian Beale and Ben Mitchell find out.

Elsewhere in the Square, there’s been plenty of drama ahead of Max Branning’s murder trial, and it was recently revealed that Jacqueline Jossa will be making a brief return as Lauren Branning when the car salesman goes to court.
