Two EastEnders icons found themselves on the wrong side of the law in tonight’s instalment of the BBC soap as they were arrested after a brawl with a rowdy customer at The Albert. Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) are no strangers to spending a night or several in the local cells, but the timing couldn’t be worse for poor Kat. The Queen Vic landlady has been on a downward spiral since the unexpected death of daughter Zoe last month, and she’s been on a mission to find out who left her to die. With Zoe’s funeral tomorrow, it’s the worst possible time for Kat to get herself in trouble, but unfortunately that’s exactly what happened. Wanting to drown her sorrows, Kat spent the evening in The Albert, talking to Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and Cindy about the mystery man who left Zoe on her own in her last moments. Kat has been spiralling since Zoe’s death (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) However, what Kat doesn’t know is that the man is no mystery to Cindy. Cindy is well aware that it was Max Branning (Jake Wood) who last spoke to Zoe, and she’s been using her knowledge as part of her revenge plot. Their conversation was interrupted by a rowdy customer who bumped into Cindy, before leaving his card on the bar. Kat instantly saw an opportunity to teach him a lesson, but things got out of hand when he followed her out of the bar.
