People were absolutely loving last night’s episode.
Obviously, like all soaps, EastEnders can be pretty rubbish – but even people who don’t usually watch it, found yesterday’s episode of the show hilarious, due to Kat Slater’s return.
Viewers took especial delight in one-liners from Stacey, Big Mo and Jean, as each of them kept up the pretence of Kat being dead.
Standout moments included Big Mo pretending that she was dead inside a coffin, as well as the Slater family having to entertain Ian Beale while Kat was forced to hide inside a cupboard.

It all culminated in a brawl at the Queen Vic, after Kat walked into the benefit night, which was intended to raise money for her own funeral.
Discovering the entire thing was a charade, characters then demanded an apology from Mo, who faked a heart attack in response.
A thoroughly pissed off Karen Taylor described Big Mo as an “old bag”, but Kat told Karen to “get out of her face”, before shoving her onto a table and sending pints flying.
Chaos then descended on the pub, with plates flying everywhere and Winston getting punched by Martin after he accidentally bumped into Stacey.
Naturally, it got a positive response on social media:
