Fans of EastEnders have demanded that the soap reunite Kat Slater – now Moon again – and Phil Mitchell, following recent scenes on the soap. This comes as ex-husband and wife grew close again yesterday (Monday, June 23), bonding over the recent decline of Nigel Bates.
Noticing how Phil appeared to be struggling with Nigel, Kat grew concerned. This was only exacerbated when Phil burned himself after Nigel’s disastrous attempt at cooking dinner. Worried that Phil had taken on too much, Kat begged him to seek help.
Earlier in the episode, Phil had spoken over his affection for Kat – telling George how much he regretted the end of their marriage. And, with Alfie away in ‘Australia,’ viewers have spotted an opportunity for Kat and Phil to rekindle their romance.
But is this what anyone wants?

“Controversial but Phil and Kat should still be together,” wrote one fan on X.
“Guys I want Kat and Phil back together,” said another.
“Unpopular opinion, I’d so much rather have Kat with Phil than Alfie,” a third agreed.
“I prefer Kat and Phil married. Rather than the same old with Alfie,” said another.
