I much prefer Kat without Alfie.

Just noticed a surprising opinion I've found myself possessing lately when watching Eastenders, since Derek's death it has been so interesting to see Kat engaging with a different bunch of characters, loved her scenes with Alice last night and she has a really odd dynamic with Joey, not sexual at all but not motherly either, very strange but very compelling. It also helps that she isn't wearing as many slutty outfits as usual, it helps to take her more seriously.
Jessie Wallace is a competent actress when she doesn't have Shane Richie to bounce off and there's potential for a whole new scope of storylines and character development if they keep her away from the repetitive circle of affairs and reunions with Alfie.
Shocked me to have felt this but I'm really enjoying the character now they've moved her away from the Vic and shook things up a bit. Anyone else feeling the same?

The way she is being now is good as well, it's brought all these different sides of Kat that have been buried for to long, because, all she has been in recent years, is Alfies wife, nothing else to her, being alone again is just what the character needs.
Are we supposed to think (or have I missed) that Mo & Jean have disowned Kat? Wonder where Kat will end up living - Why would Mo & Jean carry on living with Alfie & Roxy, I would like the three of them to end up back together in a place.
Maybe in time that is what is going to happen - they will all end up back in the Slater house. Mo isn't going to chuck Kat out despite what she did, but I think for the forseeable future Kat will remain there with Alice. It was a deliberate ploy by the writers to get Derek into the old Slater house shortly before his death so they could get Kat back in there. It was obvious the moment they moved him in there that was what would happen once he was revealed as Kat's lover.
Kat and Alfie's reunion will inevitably happen. This will not be a permanent split. But if the only good thing about the whole affair storyline is that we finally see Kat on her own for a bit, away from Alfie, interacting with other characters etc and some storylines on her own (whilst the writers explore Alfie & Roxy as a couple as well) then I am all for it.
Now that WOULD be brilliant
Thhat would be perfect. Little Mo would be there for Kat right now and it would be great for Billy and Lola too.
It would. Little Mo was always a favourite of mine.
I'd pair her up with Billy again.
There was a time I would have agreed,but not any longer. These characters have to be separated else they will both be beyond any redemption. Kat is never gonna be faithful to anyone, there are woman like that, perfectly nice, but shouldn't be married. And there is only so much Alfie can take. There is no reason when the dust has settled they cannot have a frienship, which will be interesting to view.
Otherwise, great news about Kacie Ainsworth:)
I like all these ideas. And I agree that Kat is more interesting away from Alfie and interacting with more characters.
The only defence of slapper slater i shall give is over last night, when the underwear model wanted to know what she was still doing there, pot kettle black there, but the fact it is, it is still Mo's tenancy sub let or not which gives Kat more right to be there than the 2 bad (supposed) actors that are attempting play alice & mumbling moron.
How jessie wallace managed to keep a straight face when that line was thrown at her god alone knows. I wonder how many retakes were done as she laughed long & lound straight in his face.
True. But Joey probably has no idea who owns the house etc to be fair, all he knows is Derek was paying the rent for Derek and Alice to live there so as far as Joey is concerned, Kat has no reason to be there now Derek has gone.
To be fair what the mumbling moron knows or does not know could fill a book that no one other than wet gusset tweenies would read & that Lorraine Newman would sanction to go on air but hey we won't go there.
Kat should have been quicker to tell him whose house it was and then bin the pair of them out, they can always shack up with their odious relatives who infest half the square, they would be spoilt for choice for a sofa to kip on. Or they could just do everyone a favor and bugger off home to their ma.
LOL not a fan of Joey & Alice then? It is fecking bizarre why Alice at least has not returned to her mother and keeps going on about not having anybody now. I mean, seriously she may have fell out with her Mum but if she returned saying Derek had died I doubt her mum would turn her away. It is ridiculous.
What I want to know is how on earth Kat, Alice and Joey if he ends up living there as well will manage to scrape any rent together between them if they need to keep paying Mo....lol. Kat hasn't got a job right now. Alice never seems to be at work. Joey....well, he apparently worked at the Car Lot for all of about a day and doesn't seem to do anything else now.
*stands and applauds the whole post*
BiB: spot on!
Little Mo, Freddie, Billy, Lola and Lexi would be a good family unit imo.
