Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth)

[Dazzle]

Sharon of all people knows what it is like for a dead parent to show up, she should tell Ian after all he is her best friend or even like a brother to her

Maybe her head's spinning trying to keep track of all the secrets flying around?

Or perhaps Kathy asks her to keep quiet so she has a chance to break the news to Ian herself?


Talking about Sharon's comment that Ian's like a brother to her: remember the DNA test they took that was corrupt and didn't provide an answer, and given the very popular theory that Gavin is Sharon's real father - DTC wouldn't retcon Gavin as Ian's father too...would he????!!!!!

EastEnders gives you all of the gossip on Kathy Beale's return to Albert Square in a mini-documentary.

Just as Kathy makes her long-awaited return to Walford, take a walk down memory lane for a brief history of the iconic character in the video below:

Far from just a retrospective, Gillian Taylforth also reveals secrets from filming her shocking return to the Square earlier in the year.

"I remember the director saying to me, 'Let's milk it'," Taylforth recalled. "It was like, wring them udders! I think I milked it for all I could."

EastEnders viewers were stunned when it was revealed that Kathy had faked her tragic death many years ago for an insurance scam.


Gillian Taylforth: 'Hollyoaks was fun but EastEnders feels more like home'
EastEnders boss had his doubts about Kathy return until he remembered a Coronation Street plot

Now that she's back on the scene, Kathy is all set to rumble with long-time lover Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) in the weeks ahead.

EastEnders continues on BBC One – now with much more Tracey the Barmaid.

Almost certainly. They already had a "moment" in the garage.

I really want Phil to stay faithful to Sharon though (and I definitely don't want to see her being his doormat). Perhaps we'll be pleasantly surprised?

I think Sharon is thinking of herself and her marriage to Phil so wants Kathy gone and to stay dead

Won't Kathy be arrested if she comes back permanetly on the square or will the whole square just keep quiet and not inform the authorities. The latter seems unlikely because its ground 0 for the police.

Phil, Peggy, Billy, Sharon, Ronnie, Tracy and Mick all know she is alive now

Of course, this is the same people hiding Lucy's killer and would of hid Dot from the police. The truth is an alien concept to them.

There's a spoiler showing Kathy being arrested. If she wants her old life back she needs to officially re-assume her identity - meaning the police will find out whether the residents of Albert Square are prepared to keep her secret or not.

Obviously she won't be held for long, though I can't imagine why. Perhaps she does some kind of deal?

Confusingly, she appears to be living with Gavin in Notting Hill when she's arrested...
