EastEnders confirms unexpected return as legend stages Albert Square comeback
Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is set to make an unexpected return to Albert Square in next week's EastEnders as she arrives home with Hope and Arthur in tow.
Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and Mo Harris (Laila Morse) are both thrilled to have her back, and quickly catch her up on recent events.
However, when Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) arrives, Stacey begins acting shifty, and it is clear that she is hiding something.
Viewers will know that until recently, Stacey had been in contact with Kat's daughter, Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), and allowed her to stay at her flat.
Zoe was adamant that she didn't want to see Kat as she had done something 'so bad' her mum would never be able to forgive her, though the secret of having been in contact with her is clearly weighing on Stacey.
When Kat questions Stacey on her behaviour, she manages to cover by making out that she's missing daughter Lily (Lillia Turner).
Later in the week, Kat is upset when Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) fails to return her calls, and things only get worse when Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) is caught stealing vapes with new friend Joel Marshall (Max Murray).
She soon shares her upset with Stacey, who covers for Alfie, insisting she hasn't heard from him.
Viewers will remember that Stacey previously called Alfie to help her deal with Zoe, and they are both hiding it from Kat.
Unfortunately, Jean puts her foot in it by later revealing to Kat that Stacey received a phone call from Alfie that morning, and Kat is determined to find out what they're hiding. More Trending

EastEnders' Kat uncovers the truth about missing Alfie - and she seeks answers
EastEnders' Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) is on the warpath after uncovering the truth about husband Alfie Moon's (Shane Richie) whereabouts – and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) had better watch her back! Alfie and Stacey have been hiding an absolute whopper of a secret from Kat, after Kat's estranged daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) made a sudden and unexpected reappearance after 20 years. Kat currently has no idea that Alfie and Stacey saw a somewhat troubled Zoe earlier this month, before she ran off, insisting that reaching out to them was a mistake as she wants nothing to do with her mum. After learning that Zoe had fled to Barcelona, Alfie left Walford to track her down, determined to give Kat a long-awaited reunion with her youngest child. However, he covered his tracks by telling Kat he was heading to Australia to visit his brother Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker), claiming Spencer was still broken-hearted following his split from Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig). But in scenes to air this week, Kat cottons on to Alfie's lies, leaving their recent marriage in a perilous way. After Stacey arrives back in Walford, she acts shiftily around Kat – and when Alfie also starts dodging her calls, Kat becomes increasingly convinced that the pair are hiding something. But Kat soon has other things on her mind when she discovers that son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) and his friend Joel Marshall (Max Murray) have stolen vapes from the Minute Mart.
