EastEnders ‘back to its best’ following Kat Slater’s epic return

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. https://twitter.com/bbceastenders/status/976933406280908801 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: https://twitter.com/darkautumns/status/976934111767121925 https://twitter.com/RaiiiKayyy/status/976185725824716801 https://twitter.com/tariqlatif42/status/976929695429267456 https://twitter.com/ffionsmum/status/977073780504875008 https://twitter.com/grainneslatz/status/976958230697005056
