EastEnders Kat Slater and Alfie Moon
They’re one of Albert Square’s longstanding couples, but Kat Slater and Alfie’s steamy kitchen session has been noted as one of the hottest sex scenes in soap land.
The couple weren’t dating at the time, but their romance wasn’t simple as Alfie was dating Kat’s sister Little Mo but was unlucky as he didn’t end up with either of the Slater siblings.
Kat and Alfie’s steamy scene saw the pair half naked on the kitchen table, and was in their early evening slot – leading to shock from viewers.
At the time, a BBC spokesman admitted: “We want to make it as steamy and realistic as we can.

“We put this red-hot storyline in to get people talking about the show again.
“We’ve not had the best 12 months and we are going to go for it.”
They added: “In true Kat style, Alfie will be dumped after their explosive sex. That will knock him for six.
“Then hours later he will be hit by another bombshell. Because Little Mo says she can’t carry on either.”
EastEnders Jack Branning and Ronnie Mitchell
In 2016 Jack and Ronnie’s romance was thought to have cooled off, but their steamy shower scene showed it was anything but over.
At the time Jack and Ronnie were very much on/off again lovers, but in these scenes they could barely wait before they were ripping off each other’s clothes and furiously kissing.

The love scenes were dubbed by fans as verging on porny for pre-watershed TV, with the couple’s steamy shower confirming there were definitely still feelings between them.
