EastEnders has revealed a moody and atmospheric first look at its Christmas 2018 drama, which is set to see escalating tensions explode at the Slater house.
As fans of the BBC1 soap already know, news that Alfie is actually the father of Hayley Slater’s newborn daughter has yet to reach the ears of his estranged wife Kat. But viewers can expect all that to change over the festive season as the truth is exposed – with potentially fatal repercussions.
In the run-up to the big day, Alfie (Shane Richie) will become ever-more determined to give Kat (Jessie Wallace) the perfect Christmas, but his dreams come to a sudden halt when the truth about him and Hayley (Katie Jarvis) unravels in catastrophic style.
Says an EastEnders insider: “As Kat’s world is shattered into pieces, chaos ensues with consequences no one can see coming.”
