Kat and Alfie Moon are heading back to Walford for Christmas – and Jessie Wallace has shared a photo of her and Shane Richie back on the EastEnders set and back in character.
Jessie, who has played Eastenders’ Kat since 2000, treated fans to a selfie of her and Shane, who have returned to take part in some explosive festive drama.
Alfie previously had a penchant for garishly-patterned shirts, but in this shot he’s donned a suit and tie – while Jessie is formal in a smart red jacket and gold necklace.

The actress posed for the pic with her on-screen parter, adding: “Kat&AlfieForever”.
Shane, who joined EastEnders in 2002, replied with a photo of an elderly couple, joking that it was Kat and Alfie in 2045.
The Moons left the show in May after a lucky £1 million win on a scratch card, jetting off to Spain.

But their return this Christmas is unlikely to be smooth. Fans will find out whether Alfie has been brave enough to tell his wife that he is suffering from a brain tumour.
There is also the issue of how Kat will deal with the revelation that she had an unknown son – a twin brother to Zoe – who was born in a nunnery in 1984.

Alfie and Kat are only temporarily back in Walford, but their return paves the way for a unique six-part spin-off series due to screen in 2016, in which the couple will visit Ireland.
