Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth)

[Perdita]

EastEnders legend Kathy Beale looks set to finally be arrested for her fake death scam.

Gillian Taylforth has been out on location today (August 24) for some dramatic scenes which see her iconic character in handcuffs.

The police are being led by none other than Phil Mitchell's long-time enemy DCI Marsden (Sophie Stanton), who'll surely have a lot to say when she discovers that Kathy is back from the dead.

Cast and crew at EastEnders are filming the scenes in Notting Hill, where it's thought that Kathy has been living with her fearsome husband Gavin Sullivan.

The couple have been living under new identities after being 'killed' in a car accident in 2006, but could this be the moment that the deception comes crashing down for both of them? Or will it just be Kathy who feels the full force of the law?

Exact details of the storyline won't be revealed until nearer the time of transmission in the autumn, but the arrest may not necessarily be bad news for Kathy.

Last week's episodes saw Kathy tell Phil (Steve McFadden) that she was prepared to face the consequences of faking her death if it meant she could return home to Albert Square in the long run.

Now in the hands of DCI Marsden, could Kathy have got her wish?

EastEnders continues tonight (August 24) at 8pm on BBC One.

So Kathy has lived in the London area all this time and was never spotted by anyone?

Notting Hill? Is that in the house where Sharon's father lives?

It's long been suspected by many fans that Sharon's father (Gavin) and Kathy's husband (Gavin) are one and the same. The "coincidence" of both of them living in Notting Hill appears to prove this is indeed the case.

Presumably Phil knows about this.

Great...as if things couldn't get more complicated. And from what we've found out so far, this Gavin sounds like a psycho and control freak (should fit perfectly in EE then), so chances are it's not going to be a happy family reunion for him and Sharon then. She never catches any breaks, does she?

I've read (but don't hold me to it!) that their meeting wasn't coincidental and that it was a mutual acquantaince who introduced them (possibly her brother?).

DTC's said "Gavin will be one of the biggest villains in the show's history" and that he's "going to be an EastEnders villain like no other", so expect the worst. Poor Sharon...

That's going to be quite a stretch to believe, considering the number of villains that have shown up over the years in EE. I wonder what's so different about this guy.

On the other hand, at least it gives me some hope that maybe there's more to Kathy's disappearance than just simple money and insurance scam. If this Gavin is really as bad, then chances are maybe she didn't have a choice in the matter, like if she had refused then it would have ended with her death?

Yes, there must be more to Kathy's faked death than Phil knows if DTC wants a hope in hell's chance of convincing EE fans that her resurrection works.
