Phil gets some bad news (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)
Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is devastated to see his wife Kat (Jessie Wallace) reunite with her ex-husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) in EastEnders next week.
The couple split in January when Phil’s sister Sam (Kim Medcalf) exposed his affair with Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit).
Kat was left broken by the revelation, sweeping her kids up in the middle of the night and eventually settling back in with Alfie.
They only agreed to live with one another again after she was coerced in a relationship with twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry), who offered her free accommodation in the hope he could seize Phil’s business assets.
Alfie helped Kat realise his true intentions, and the invite to stay with him would mean their family unit could all be under one roof.

Eldest son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) had trouble adjusting to a new way of life away from Phil, and at one point begged his step-father to allow him to stay.
Destructive Phil shut down the idea, though later got his hopes up when he heard that Kat was interested in rekindling their relationship.
This was, of course, another of Tommy’s lies.
Kat was taken aback when her hard man hubby started to talk about his resurfacing feelings for her, and her son’s claims were shut down, leaving him devastated.
The youngster then proceeded to punched her in the stomach, before reporting his mum to social services after she’d pushed him away in self-defence.

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 …read more
