OT - Did Shane get a facelift?
BRASSY EastEnders favourite Kat Slater is returning to Albert Square five years after leaving - and she'll be joined by hubby Alfie Moon.
Actress Jessie Wallace, 38, has signed an initial one-year deal to revive the role.
Shane Richie, 45, has hammered out a similar agreement to play Alfie again.
The popular couple were last seen on Christmas Day 2005, leaving Walford for a new life in America.
They arrive back on the BBC1 soap in the autumn.
Their return will be a massive boost for EastEnders, which celebrates its 25th anniversary with a live episode on February 19.
Kat first appeared in 2000 and was at the centre of major storylines - including confessing she was Zoe Slater's mum, not her sister.
She married Alfie on Christmas Day 2003.
But Jessie was involved in her share of controversy during her time in the soap.
She was suspended from the show for two months in 2003 for heavy boozing and was also banned for drink-driving.
After leaving EastEnders, she had roles in ITV1's Wild at Heart and competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
Jessie said yesterday: "I am excited to slip back into Kat's stilettos. I've missed her."
Shane said: "More than anything, I'm looking forward to getting my face covered in Kat's lipstick again!"

Good just what slater family needs
it'll be like the old days on here :rotfl:
Welcome back Kalfie :p
Oh I can feel a Septic Peg prediction coming on. Little Mo will be back with her squeeky voice to get involved in a love triangel with Kat/Alfie for the Christmas plot.
Long live Kalfie & Molfie :rotfl::rotfl:
No no no...:thumbsdow
Eastenders does not need a "boost" at the moment - it's doing very well without the screeching Kat and annoying Alfie.
It never fails to amaze me how so many people leave soaps for fear of becoming typecast or to explore new ventures and end up coming crawling back with their tails between their legs.
Yeh but im glad with characters as brilliant as Kat and Alfie. I hope Bradley comes back one day, and Little Mo would be nice to see back as well.
Bradley can't come back, he dies :(
