BBC ‘EastEnders’ spoilers finds that fans took to social media last night to query why Kat Slater was hastily rushed out of the soap. Kat made her exit from Walford minutes after getting a phone call from a mysterious person. However, why was she written off television with a sudden departure?
The scenes aired during last night’s episode, as Kat received a phone call which meant that she was unable to attend the hearing for Whitney Dean. Whitney’s continued case remains the biggest story on the soap, but eagle-eyed viewers were wondering why Kat wasn’t in attendance.

The reason for Kat being written off television for the foreseeable future revolves around Jessie Wallace’s personal reasons. The last-minute phone call was how she was written off television for the future, and meant that she missed out on the result of Whitney’s court case.
She was still on hand to welcome Whitney back to Walford after she was finally granted bail. However, she was quick to explain to Kush that she needed to leave the area quickly. Viewers didn’t learn the reasoning behind her character’s departure, but it does appear to confirm reports that the soap suspended Wallace back in January.

Kush wasn’t best pleased about Kat’s exit, as he was quickly forced to look after her children. She never asked him before making the announcement, which means Kush will be a father figure to the children over the coming weeks. There will undoubtedly be more pressure on Kush now over the coming weeks as he will need to support Whitney and Jean Slater.
There haven’t been any reports at present when and how Kat will return to the soap, but any return is likely to be delayed by the Coronavirus pandemic which has halted filming on the iconic soap. However, tensions could be high between herself and Kush when she makes her return.
