EE Boss: "two massive twists" for Kat and Alfie before spin-off show

We recently revealed that Kat & Alfie were to leave EastEnders but the pair would move to Ireland in a new spin-off show for the pair. Dominic Treadwell-Collins has revealed that there are two big twists ahead of their departure.

Viewers will be given a clue as to what the spin-off show will be about well in advance of them leaving. WalfordEast recently revealed that a Walford resident will scoop a massive £1Million on a scratchcard and we are pretty certain that it's Mr Moon himself that wins it. The pair will try and buy the Queen Vic pub from the Carter's before leaving.

Speaking about the new project, he told Radio Times: "There are two massive twists coming up for Kat and Alfie in the next couple of weeks in the main show that will give you clues as to what the spin-off show is about.

"We want to create something big around them. EastEnders as a brand can afford to do it and I've always wanted to do something like that."

Treadwell-Collins also revealed that the show will not solely be about Kat and Alfie, as it will incorporate other characters as well.

He said: "The other important thing about the spin-off show is it's not just about Kat and Alfie - we've created a whole new world and a new lot of characters.

"The writers have created a really lovely, interesting world, but also with our style of storytelling."

Confirming that the pair would be "gone for a while" but it would be "worth the wait", Treadwell-Collins added that he is confident EastEnders will keep moving without them.

He said: "I'm not at all [worried] because we've got the strongest cast we've ever had. And the show can keep moving without Shane and Jessie."
