One of EastEnders’ most beloved on-off couples look to be firmly back on next week when they share a surprise kiss.

Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) finally acknowledge the growing spark between them in forthcoming scenes, as they continue to deal with the fallout from their son Tommy’s (Sonny Kendall) behaviour.

Earlier this month, the violent teenager’s abuse of mum Kat came spilling out after a dramatic night during which he smashed up the flat and poured hot liquid over Freddie Slater’s (Bobby Brazier) arm.

A concerned Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) later called social services, which resulted in Tommy forced to leave the family home, with foster carer Zack Hudson (James Farrar) taking him in.

Next week, Kat is in pieces ahead of a meeting with social services and continues to blank Jean and her daughter Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) for getting them involved.

Alfie begs Stacey to call a truce and tells a fib to get Kat to meet the Slaters at The Vic.

When she arrives, Kat is furious to have been hoodwinked, but Alfie gives an impassioned speech and the family eventually reconcile.

After Kat tells Alfie she’s grateful, Freddie notes how insane their chemistry is, and Alfie admits he still has feelings for his ex-wife.

Feeling awkward, he consults friend Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) for some advice, but is forced to put the matter to one side when the social services meeting approaches.

During the chat, Kat is devastated by how cold Tommy is towards her and fears they’ll never get their son back.

However, Alfie later manages to get through to their son a little, ending the session on a positive note.

Back at the flat, a grateful Kat surprises Alfie with a kiss…
