In new images for the forthcoming episode, the former Queen Vic landlord (Shane Richie) is seen meeting his ex (Jessie Wallace) and he comes alone.
Kat is shocked when she receives a call from Alfie, who wants her help.
But when she follows his instructions, she finds him waiting for her in person, wearing a flowery shirt and grim expression.
Kat’s hopes at seeing her kids are then dashed when he reveals that they are not with him. But just why is Alfie back?
Kat is currently unaware her cousin Hayley had a one night stand with her estranged husband which led to the birth of her new-born daughter.
However, last month Jean Slater miraculously work out Alfie is the mystery dad.
For weeks, Hayley has been hiding her pregnancy and the identity of the tot’s father from everyone.
Jean hasn’t let up however and has constantly pushed her to come clean about who the dad is.
While Hayley has laid down red herrings, Jean was like a dog with a bone and appeared to have a light bulb moment.
After rowing with Hayley, she picked up a calendar to cross check dates Hayley had given her.
Then, throwing her hand to her mouth she gasped – seemingly realising that Alfie did the dirty on Kat and got Hayley up the duff.
Fans of the hit BBC One soap have known for a while and said what they found most confusing about the big reveal was how Jean managed to work it out, simply by using a calendar.
Even if it did have a massive picture of his face on it.
One fan asked: “Can someone tell me how Jean figured it out just by looking at the calender and seeing a pic of Alfie ????? I’m confused!”
Another quipped: “I'm not sure how Jean put two and two together and came up with Alfie,” while a third tweeted: “How did our Jean work out that it was Alfie just by counting nine months back on the calendar and seeing a picture of him. I have missed something surely?”
EastEnders continues on Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One.
