EASTENDERS fans were left amused over a Kat Slater blunder – but did you catch it?
The BBC soap icon – played Jessie Wallace – first arrived in Albert Square back in 2000.
Viewers found themselves in hysterics during a recent scene featuring Kat.
Troublesome teen son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) cheekily told her: “Chill out, love”.
To which Kat responded by repeating “Love?” – with fans convinced her pronunciation sounded like a northern accent.
One wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “absolutely obsessed with kat going northern #EastEnders.”
Another added: “no bc why did she do this, he didn’t even say it like that LMFAOOO.”
A third shared: “I thought it was a really odd way to repeat the word. He’s not northern, she isn’t. Cute though.”
While a fourth chimed in: “Pat Phoenix’s spirit returning to Jessie Wallace for a split second in 2025 #EastEnders.”
The last comment referred to Jessie, 53, playing Corrie legend Pat Phoenix in 2010’s Road to Coronation Street.
This TV movie depicted a young Tony Warren first devising Corrie in the 1960s.
As for EastEnders, viewers finally got their long-time wish as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) returned after 20 years.
Viewers will likely remember the iconic “You ain’t my mother” scene from 2001.
The mother-daughter spectacle with Kat and Zoe cemented the pair among the BBC soap’s most iconic characters.
In a chat from the soap set, Michelle opened up to Good Morning Britain’s Entertainment Reporter Richard Arnold about reuniting with her on-screen mum.
She said: “I’ve always loved working with Jessie.
We actually went for a cast dinner with the Slater family so that I would feel welcome with the new people that I didn’t know.
“And seeing her, she got so emotional.
“And when she found out I had the job again she was screaming and I was just like, this just feels like coming home.”
