This week, Kat and Alfie – although recently faced a bit of a setback. Yesterday, Kat was left devastated when Alfie rejected her physically, leading her to storm out the house. It came after Kat believed Alfie was watching X-Rated videos on his laptop. However, viewers are aware Joel told Tommy to use Alfie’s credit card to access the video.

Kat and Alfie are set to tie the knot this week, however, whether or not it goes ahead is being kept under wraps for now.

Now, spoilers for next week reveal even more drama for Alfie. Just as he’s been trying to stop Jean from sabotaging the limo business, he’s left with another problem as he receives a call from Stacey. But what could she want?

It comes weeks after Stacey left the soap to go and stay with Lynne Hobbs. Earlier this year, Lacey confirmed she would be taking an extended break from the show following the birth of her third child.

Fans believed that would be the last we would hear of Stacey for a while, but with her ringing Alfie, could we be hearing more from the character?

Stacey’s exit came shortly after her daughter Lily left to stay with her father Ryan. However, it was believed actress Lillia Turner was taking a break to do her GCSE’s – and is expected to return.

Lacey recently confirmed her exit as she said it was time for “myself and Stacey to take a rest”.

At the time, Lacey told The Sun: “It’s time for myself and Stacey to take a rest and who knows what Stacey will get up to in her time away? Knowing Stacey, it will never be boring.”

An EastEnders spokeswoman confirmed: “We can confirm that Lacey will be off-screen later this year, but there is plenty of more drama to come beforehand and we will look forward to planning Stacey’s return when Lacey decides the time is right.”

Elsewhere next week, Alfie reveals he needs to visit his brother Spencer in Australia, who’s been left in turmoil.
