Kathy reappeared on screen towards the end of Tuesday's episode (May 19), as she met up with her ex-husband Phil Mitchell in a café.

Phil was seen handing Kathy an envelope of cash, but he also offered a firm warning that he wouldn't be able to carry on helping her.
When Phil also asked whether Kathy's third husband Gavin suspected anything, she replied: "Do you think I'd still be standing if he did?"
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins had first teased the intriguing Kathy scene a month ago, promising that it would pave the way for her permanent return later in the year.
He told Radio Times at the time: "We know that there was a Gavin that she went off with. It's a big, big story with a lot of twists and turns, as you've come to expect from us. There's Gavin, Kathy and there's a lot of Phil involved. It's going to draw in lots of different families from around the Square and it's not going to be easy for her to come back."

Speaking to Digital Spy earlier this month, Taylforth's on-screen son Adam Woodyatt (Ian) admitted that he still didn't know what the show's bosses had planned for Kathy's return.
Woodyatt added: "You've got to remember that with the situation that Phil's in, if he does have information about Kathy, it's not just Ian who will be affected - but also his son Ben and his wife Sharon. You've got to think, there's history between Phil and Kathy - massive history. If Kathy came back all of a sudden, where's that going to leave Sharon?"
Taylforth reprised her role as Kathy in EastEnders' 30th anniversary episode in February, which saw Phil forbid her to return to Albert Square.
Kathy's return came as a huge shock to fans, as she was previously thought to be dead following an off-screen road accident in 2006.
so is she here to stay, or just for a few eps????
I think permanent but this return is too stale.Quote:

I was looking forward to Kathys return
as I always liked the character . I was
prepared to accept the reason for the return
would probably be a bit "iffy" .Now not
sure.....
I accept in a way the producers blurb-
but now some actors "bigging themselves
up" and sometimes worse than producers.
They are soap actors!! (.and I enjoy soaps)
but they are not saviours of humanity!
last bit not directed at GT(aka Kathy)
I was disappointed at Tuesday's episode when Phil implied Kathy chose to fake her death. I think he said something like "you always run away". I've since realised that he might not know the full truth of why she did it.Quote:

I must admit I'm enjoying the storyline otherwise, and am looking forward to her scenes with Ian and Ben. I just hope the reason for the faking of her death won't spoil it.
I'm interested in seeing her take on what Ben has become. Has Phil even told her what Ben has done (Killing Heather, mugging Lucy, assaulting that kid of Lucas's)?Quote:

Gillian has said in interviews that she's thrilled to be back and has wanted to return for years. Her career outside of EE has been OK but nothing spectacular, so I doubt she'll leave again of her own volition (unless she retires).Quote:

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.

re spoilers above - looking forward to Paul
Nicholas playing "fearsome"!

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

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.Quote:

Great...as if things couldn't get more complicated. :p 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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Afraid that's way before my time. I only got interested in the show in the last few years, but as far as I know yes Sharon's birth mother was confirmed.Quote:
