Yes its weird to think Kat would be the grandmother of a 9 year old now, and that same 9 year old would have Sharon as a half-sister and Sharon is older than Kat.
Also weird to think that Kat's grandchild would have been older than the rest of her children.

Here is another one. Bianca is Rebecca Fowler's aunt on the Branning side and second cousin on the Beale side, since Martin and David are first cousins (or more maybe since Pauline and Pete were twins). If David had married Carol, Sonia's stepfather would have also been her cousin-in-law!

Lexi's mother is her fourth cousin
Lexi's father is her third cousin twice removed
Which I think makes her fourth cousin once removed and third cousin three times removed of herself.

It's certainly easier to work out that Zoe Slater is her own first cousin once removed!

It is also weird as Kat was once in relationship with her grandchild's half sibling.

I remember Zoe at the time wanting to get pregnant to keep Dennis and trying to get with Jake Moon in preference to Den. I can't quite decide which of those would've been the most dysfunctional.

This is why EastEnders need at least two families that are completely unrelated to anyone on the square then it gives people more choice for mating and they don't have to go after their cousins like dogs. If this was emmer dale I'd get it, but for Christ's sake this supposed to be inner City London for crying out loud…

No I mean like the Masoods. Who just casually moved to they neighbourhood without any funeral scams or petty fashion school romances.

All of Zoe's Slater relatives when you think about it:

Her father Harry is also her maternal granduncle

Her mother Kat is also her paternal cousin

Her maternal half-brother Tommy is also her paternal first cousin once removed

Her paternal grandfather Frederick is also her maternal great-grandfather

Her maternal grandfather Charlie is also her paternal uncle

Her paternal grandmother Mary is also her maternal great-grandmother

Her paternal aunt Violet is also her maternal grandaunt

Her maternal aunts Lynne, Belinda and Little Mo are also her paternal cousins

Her paternal first cousin Brian is also her maternal first cousin once removed

Her maternal cousins Vivienne and Freddie are also her paternal first cousins once removed

Her paternal first cousins once removed Sean and Stacey are also her maternal second cousins

Her paternal first cousin twice removed Lily is her maternal second cousin once removed

The only ones NOT related to her twice are the relatives from her Porter/Harris side.

This is why it would be so confusing to the show if Zoe Slater returned - I can almost see why she isn't acknowledged anymore

For the time being. Since Martin and Sonia are probably donzo, I don't think that they will stay married.

The Slater sisters and the Wicks brothers share two common relatives. Pat's brother Jimmy had two children with Mo named Billy and Jean. Since Jimmy is David and Simon's uncle, his children are their first cousins. Billy and Jean are the younger half-brother and half-sister of Viv, making them Lynne, Belinda, Kat and Li'l Mo's aunt and uncle. Jean has a daughter named Joanne, who would be the first cousin of the Slater sisters and the first cousin once removed of the Wicks brothers.

Ben Mitchell and Liam Butcher were born just a couple of years apart. It's weird to think that back when the show started Bens mother was married Liams great-grandfather and they were a similar age. This makes Ben not one but two generations above Liam on their family tree.

Think I got most of these, but was wondering how Tommy is related to Zoe on her paternal side, as Michael Moon is Tommy's father, and I can't see how he's related to Zoe? Equally, with Harry being Zoe's father, I can't see how he is related to Tommy either? What am I missing?

Harry is related to Tommy through being Kat's Uncle as well as Zoe's Uncle/Father - making him Tommy's Great Uncle

I have trouble sometimes working out who is related to who.


Shirley is Nancy's Grandmother, and a FM suggested that Aunt Babe may be Shirley's Mum, making Aunt Babe a Great Grandmother.. makes my head hurt...

Yeah, and when Lee, Nancy or Johnny (adoption/IVF) inevitably have children, Sylvie or Babe would be a Great-great grandmother!

I think Lee's the only one that's made a point of wanting to be a parent, although I do think you're right and the others will eventually become parents

Lauren is going out with Peter, whose twin Lucy was shagging Lauren's dad Max whose now shagging Emma whose supporting Ian, who shagged Lauren's auntie Rainie!

But that's just scratching the surface - I made a list on here a few months ago of how Bianca (and therefore even more-so with Liam) is the relative of so many characters on the Square that most relationships would seem icky to the average real-life person (Lauren, Lucy, Whitney, Abi, Peter, Steven, Joey, Max etc are all related to him.)

And Liam's slept with/fancies his (first cousins once removed) Steven, Lucy and Peter's half sister Cindy, whose mother his grandfather and both his great uncles slept with!

The Beales and Brannings are hideously incestuous from Bianca, Liam, Tiff and Morgan's POV, seeing as they're closely related to both Carol and David.

Rebecca has a first cousin once removed by the same name.

Kat and Bianca have a few common relatives (Jean Harris, Billy Harris and Joanne Harris,) plus Bianca's step daughter is the Aunt of Kat's first cousin twice removed.
For the first time in my life, I threw up in the street in Vauxhall. Life is complete.
