EastEnders: A Shocking Reunion
The actor, Nicholas Bailey, revealed that his return starts with a scene that’s pure emotion. It’s an instant reunion with Kat Slater, and he said the chemistry was just there. “The first scene I filmed felt like old times,” he explained. “It was with Jessie. We got it in one take because it was so natural.” Can you believe that? Just like that, it was perfect.
However, the actor admitted it felt like coming home. So many faces he knew from before were still there, both in the cast and the crew. He said it was a nice atmosphere, and they made him feel so welcome upon his return to the family. This whole thing is happening at a bad time for his dad, too, you know? Patrick was just attacked during a burglary, which is insane. Everyone’s wondering if Anthony’s presence will even help. Or will he open up old wounds?
The Past Haunts Kat
Anthony and Kat have a history; it was a messy one. Years ago, he dated her before getting with her daughter, Zoe, and he had no idea they were even related. Their engagement ended in the most scandalous way ever, when he slept with Kat on the very day he was supposed to marry Zoe.
Kat found out she was pregnant, but then lost the baby before she could even tell him. She moved on with Alfie Moon, and now that they have just got married again, everyone’s wondering if Anthony could ruin everything. However, Nicholas Bailey even said the connection between them is undeniable. “Kat gives him a very warm welcome,” he teased, “she was a big part of his life. There’s lovely chemistry between them because Kat is genuinely pleased to see him, and vice versa.”
But come on, this is EastEnders. Happy reunions rarely last. You know those old secrets are going to come back. Kat may be trying to focus on Alfie, but what about all those feelings buried underneath? Walford weddings are never smooth sailing. So Patrick’s big day could be the backdrop for even more drama. And with Anthony back, new betrayals and twists are possible. They could turn her life upside down all over again. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
