Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) is taken aback in upcoming EastEnders scenes when long-time love Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) pops the question.

The couple, who have had their fair share of heartbreak and joy throughout their two decades in the Square, reunited last year following a turbulent time for their family.

Kat had been assaulted by son Tommy (Sonny Kendall), whose violent behaviour spiralled out of control around the time in question, with social services subsequently intervening.

Alfie was right by Kat’s side throughout the ordeal and, following a breakthrough meeting with a social worker, sparks flew for the former couple once more.

After contemplating the prospect of a future together, Kat and Alfie ultimately decided to give things another go, sharing a kiss against the backdrop of a fireworks display.

Nearly a year on and the couple are perhaps more solid than they’ve ever been, which prompts Alfie to take a chance on love in upcoming scenes.

With a new limo business on the cards for the pair, Alfie suggests doing a wedding photoshoot as a way to promote it.

And discussion of weddings leave him with food for thought as he gets down on one knee to ask Kat to marry him, suggesting that they be the bride and groom in the picture shoot.

No, you’re crying.

The question is: will Kat say yes to Alfie’s proposal?

New pictures from the scenes in question see Kat smiling as her man in the Moon gets down on one knee so we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
