First look at Kathy’s burnt out cafe as huge blaze hits Walford before The Six reveal on EastEnders
WALFORD looks a winter wonderland as Albert Square is decked out for Christmas – but my exclusive photos also hint at the dark storylines that will be unravelling, too.
While the Queen Vic is decorated in fairy lights – and a festive tree is standing proud outside – the pictures also give a first look at Kathy’s Cafe in the aftermath of an enormous fire with crime scene posters and tape stuck to the boarded-up building.
The Sun exclusively revealed last month how the blaze would gut the cafe in a suspicious plot possibly linked to the six Walford matriarchs who featured in an episode which flashed forward to the soap’s Christmas Day show.
The scene showed Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) all stood around a dead male body in The Queen Vic.
