She has not been seen on screen since 2016.

But EastEnders star Mo Harris will be making a shock return to Albert Square next week, as she announces a death that will leave the residents devastated.

Mo (Laila Morse) will inform her family that Kat Moon [Jessie Wallace] is dead, but all is not as it seems as fans already know that she will be returning to the soap soon.

In scenes set to air next week, Big Mo will try and get in touch with Kat's cousin Stacey Slater to tell her that that the feisty Moon has died, eventually returning in person to share the sad news.

Never one to miss a money-making opportunity, Big Mo plans a wake in the Queen Vic with a £10 entry fee, with a sign on the door saying: 

'RIP Kat Slater. Tonight at the Queen Vic. Meat Raffle, Auction, Walford's Got Talent. Entry only if you're wearing leopard print!' 

Returning: All is not as it seems as 'dead' Kat is actually set to return to Albert Square in the near future, following the cliffhanger end to her spin-off Kat and Alfie: Redwater

Fans were left on tenterhooks over Kat's fate last year in the final scenes of her Irish spin-off Kat and Alfie: Redwater.

Kat was pulled from the icy ocean unconscious, just as Alfie flat-lined during an operation for a brain tumour.

But they need not worry, as Kat's return to the BBC soap was confirmed in December, with a source telling The Sun her latest story-line will be nothing short of a rollercoaster.

They said: 'Kat’s return has caused a lot of excitement, but it won’t be quite what everyone’s expecting.

'Rather than her friends and family rolling out the red carpet the residents are told she has died. It’s set to be a very emotional story-line — but that’s probably fitting for Kat.  

'It won’t all be quite as it seems and the writers have some further twists and turns planned.'

Sadly it seems Kat's husband Alfie will not be joining her back in Walford, as actor Shane Richie has confirmed he has no plans to return.
