well we never actually seen her die on-screen, so how do we know she's dead! I think Eastenders should do a return from the dead like Neighbours did with Harold Bishop. I could see some of the residents of the square visiting South Africa, and Pat Butcher discovering Kathy still alive, having survived the crash, and complete lost her memory, and forgetting all about her past life, and thinking that her name is Bernice Fletcher, when actually shes Kathy Beale. Ian and Kathy are reunited, and she returns to Walford. Kathy should return, we need a battleaxe she'd been brilliant

As much as I'd love her back, people need to stop with this 'we didn't see her die' nonsense.

Ben was in the car crash that killed her. Ian went out there to identify her body. Gavin died a couple of days later while Ian was out there from his injuries.

In hindsight it was a huge mistake, even worse when you consider the fact she was killed off just to facilitate another Mitchell storyline.

Ben wasnt in the car it was just Kathy and her husband Gavin and it was Gavin's sister who identified the bodies. Ian flew to South Africa a few days later to collect Ben. They could easily get around that by saying Gavin's sister only met Kathy the once and wrongly identified her. Or she was so distraught at seeing her brother dead body she made a mistake etc etc.

Its never going to happen, and if it does it will be out of desperation.

Whose body did she identify if it wasn't Kathy's? It was a car crash, there would have only been so many bodies.

Ian flew out there straight away. It wasn't a sure thing that he was bringing Ben back. But he then called back home a couple of days later to say that he'd have to bring Ben back with him, because Gavin had now died from his injuries.

Look, they won't bring back Kathy. As much as I hated the decision to kill her off, not only can EastEnders manage, but if they did bring her back from the dead it'd just be ridiculous and more than a few people would complain. If they tried to do a 'back from the dead' thing again, it'd be the end of EastEnders.

EastEnders would make themselves a laughing stock and as I 've said before the square is already full of mature single characters fighting for air time.

Ian needs Peter and Lucy back and I'm sure this will happen when the time is right.They cannot afford to make a mistake when casting Lucy. The young cast we have now are the future of the show and they need to get it right.

This. Also, they've already brought Den Watts back from the dead in the past, and even that was quite controversial, but to do it again would just be plain stupid.

Witness protection is a more plausible idea, if Kathy reveals she and Gavin were running from a South African gang, the car crashed killing Gavin and the police decided to put Kathy under protection, with Ian taking Ben back to the UK. The only problem then would be how they explain why she hasn't returned sooner. Unless the gang are arrested or killed.

Ian decides to leave Albert Square. However a storm whps up and a slate falls off a roof onto him. He is rushed to hospital where he dies for a few minutes. We see hm meeting Kathy in the afterlfe who takes him on a tour of Walford future without Ian.

The amnesia storyline has been done to death, it only just works on American and Australian soaps but no British soap would be able to pull that off - ridiculous.

Kathy is dead she doesn't have amnesia and she wouldn't have faked her death for any reason.

Killing her off was terrible writing but its done now and we need to face reality and stop deluding ourselves.

(Takes kathy beale out of the cage and thumps her head on the counter. Throws her up in the air and watches as she plummets to the floor.)


Kathy Beale is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet 'er maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'er to the perch she'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Er metabolic processes are now 'istory! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket, shuffled off 'er mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-KATHY BEALE!!

Excellent. Hopefully this will be an end to these 'bring back from the dead' threads. Sorted.

but why would Kathy not come after Ben in that case?

I miss Kathy but we have to accept that she's gone now. Bl**dy stupid decision but nothing we can do to change it.

They CAN get around this, witness protection, amneisa ... something.

Why on earth they killed her off in the first place is beyond me, I don't think EP's deserve that kind of power, it should go to vote with the shows writers as well.

Good point she would never have left Ben out of choice. An idea could be that Kathy caught Gavin cheating on her and fought with his mistress who hit Kathy with something putting her in a coma. They then fled the scene of the crime and crashed their car and died. The deceased mistress was wrongly identified as Kathy and a comatose Kathy was wrongly identified as the mistress.

even if Kathy was in witness protection..it is too unrealistic that she would leave Ben..and surely if she is on witness protection she would be allowed to tell Ian and Ben about it..or have come to UK?..presuming she needs to be protected against someone in South Africa
she could do a Harold Bishop and have amnesia as said above..but would certainly be hard to explain how that happened

Rather than bring Kathy back they should introduce Kathys sister played by Kim Taylforth.

That could work - or her identical cousin

It's never going to happen point blank. The Den Watts return was feasible because of the world he was involved with- The Firm could easily and did fake his death because they had the influence and ability to do so. Kathy would NEVER abandon Ben and Ian.

On Den's faked death we never knew who killed Vinnicombe did we?
