EastEnders legend says 'watch this space' as Kat and Alfie Moon reunion teased

EastEnders icon Shane Richie has hinted at Alfie Moon's reunion with Kat Slater as they fall back into each others arms once again next week.

Alfie tells the social worker that they desperately want Tommy back for Christmas and even manages to get through to their son a little, ending the session on a positive note. Back at the flat, grateful Kat surprises Alfie with a kiss.
