Phil Mitchell drops bombshell on Kat Slater in EastEnders – leaving her stunned
Kat is also the victim of a vicious attack.
MORE heartbreak is on its way to Kat Slater next week as she pays a visit to her soon-to-be ex-husband Phil Mitchell.
The EastEnders baddie drops a bombshell on the soap legend but how will she react and could she take action?
Kat Slater (portrayed by Jessie Wallace) has called off her marriage with Phil Mitchell after being told that he’d cheated on her with Emma Harding.
Since then, she has thrown caution to the wind by bedding Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) and BBC One viewers were flabbergasted.
In scenes airing next week, Phil and Kat appear to hit a wall as they prepare for their divorce proceedings.
Coming up, Kat starts to worry about Raymond due to his mother Denise Fox’s mental health predicament.
However, her soon-to-be ex-husband Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) quickly shuts down her concerns and tells Kat that his solicitor has started their divorce proceedings.
Later on, Kat overhears that Phil is buying the Arches from his son Ben and she starts to suspect that he isn’t being honest in the divorce as the business wasn’t listed on his solicitors letter.
And while she may think she can rely on Nish Panesar, Kat quickly realises he has sinister motives in mind.
Nish seizes the opportunity to get his hands on some of the Mitchell fortune and introduces Kat to dodgy divorce lawyer Roger Peel.
In other scenes, however, a rift is drawn between Nish and Kat as she arrives at No 41 to see him, but it soon becomes clear that he is aware she could be up to no good.
After fending off an attack from Nish, Kat runs to Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) and Nish’s ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).
The group of women all share words and Kat and Stacey humiliate Nish.
Unfortunately for them, Nish retaliates by giving DC Whisson a call regarding the events of Christmas and his attack.
Will Nish ever pay the price for his villainous actions?
Can Kat and Phil get their relationship back on track?
Viewers of the London-based program were horrified by Kat and Nish’s budding romance but, according to them, she doesn’t belong with Phil.
Many have been hoping for a reunion between Kat and her former husband Alfie Moon while Phil may be reunited with his ex-wife Sharon Watts, particularly after finding out he’s the father of her son Albie.
While viewers will have to wait and see before knowing what’s ahead for Phil and Kat, Nish remains determined to find out what really happened to him on Christmas Day.
Although he doesn’t have all the details, Nish is convinced that Stacey and Suki are keeping something about his attack, which took place in The Vic.
Viewers will know that Nish is correct but the truth may still surprise the villain.
Stacey and Suki were in The Vic along with Sharon Watts, Denise Fox, Kathy Beale and Linda Carter when Nish walked in, desperate to save his marriage with Suki.
Fuming when he realised he wouldn’t get what he want, Nish became violent and Denise responded by striking him over the head with a heavy bottle.
Nish was left to die on the Queen Vic floor as the group of women, with the exception of Suki who was trying to revive him, were then witnesses to Keanu Taylor’s murder.
Linda stabbed Keanu when he walked into the pub to confront Sharon over Albie Watts’ paternity and he lost his cool as she goaded him.
Keanu was strangling Sharon when Linda stopped him and all six women then teamed up together to get rid of his body.
But will Nish put two and two together?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
