There’s less than a week to go before the ‘mother of all reunions’ on EastEnders, as Kat and Zoe come face to face for the first time in two years – as they tease what’s to come

With just a week to go until the ‘mother of all reunions’, Jessie Wallace and Michelle Ryan joined The One Show live from Albert Square on Wednesday night, to give EastEnders fans a teaser of what they can expect.

Spoilers have revealed that Kat and Zoe will finally come face-to-face next week for the first time in two decades, months after Zoe made her brief return to Albert Square.

At the time, Alfie and Stacey were the only ones who had been in contact with her and had tried to do all that they could to keep the secret from Kat. However, the two couldn’t keep the secret for long as news got to both Tommy and Jean this week. Tonight, the guilt got too much for Alfie, as he confessed all…

Kat was left stunned as the episode came to an end, and now the secret’s out, EastEnders fans only have to wait a few days until the highly anticipated reunion next week. The BBC soap aren’t giving too much away, but JB Gill managed to get some details out of Michelle and Jessie during his trip to Albert Square…

Revealing what viewers can expect from her major return next week, Michelle said: “Zoe is at the lowest point that we’ve ever known her to be. Disappeared 20 years ago, and we’re seeing that she’s struggled a lot. So, she’s desperate, she comes back, and even despite herself, she knows that she needs her family.

“And I think that’s where Kat is such a huge part. The mother-daughter dynamic is the best thing that you can play,” Michelle continued.

“But we still play it in a way as sisters, because we grew up as sisters,” Jessie added. “Well, the characters grew up as sisters, but there are elements of, ‘I am your mother!'” she laughed. “But that’s there, that’s sort of underlying.”

Digging for even more details, the JLS star asked the duo whether the reunion would be explosive, or pain sailing – but of course, we knew the answer.

“Oh come on! It’s EastEnders, what do you think?!” Jessie laughed. “Carnage. Complete carnage,” Michelle added.

As Jessie mentioned, Kat and Zoe grew up as ‘sisters’ until October 2001, where Kat accidentally revealed the truth during an argument, creating the iconic – “You’re not my mother!” line.

The pair have had a tumultuous relationship ever since – but with Zoe now heading back to Albert Square, can Kat have the mother daughter relationship with Zoe that she’s always wanted?

It’s not the only dramatic moment happening next week in the BBC soap, as one residents life is set to hang in the balance after a shock shooting. But who is it?

Aug. 2 (UPI) — Thousands of frozen hot dogs spilled across Interstate-83 in Pennsylvania, closing the busy highway in both directions after a multi-vehicle collision.

State police and four separate fire departments responded to the crash this week at an exit in Shrewsbury, Pa., the Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company confirmed on Facebook.

The collision occurred around 9:10 a.m. EDT and the highway was later re-opened around 3:45 p.m.

Shrewsbury is a borough in York County, located in south-central Pennsylvania.

Four people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while several sections of the highway were damaged as a result of the collision that involved a tractor-trailer truck and two other vehicles.

The Pennsylvania State Police confirmed they are now investigating what led up to the crash.

The closure stretched for four miles along the interstate, between exits 4 and 8.

“We all came to a dead stop and I was wondering what was going on. Then I saw some emergency vehicles…and hot dogs all over the road,” witness Jake Sitcosky told WPMT-TV.

Cleanup efforts were hampered by the amount of grease left on the pavement.

Local media showed photos of destroyed cardboard boxes and hotdogs littering the road.

May 26 (UPI) — A Liberian-flagged container ship that capsized off India’s southwestern coast is at risk of causing an oil spill, officials said, as they rush to prevent an environmental catastrophe.

The vessel, MSC ELSA 3, began to list to one side about 38 nautical miles southwest of Kochi on Saturday and sank Sunday, with 643 containers onboard, the Indian Coast Guard said in a statement.

Of the 73 containers missing, 13 contained hazardous material, including calcium carbide, which releases a gas that is highly flammable when it comes into contact with water.

It also had 84.44 metric tonnes of diesel fuel and 367.1 metric tonnes of furnace oil.

The chief minister’s office said in a statement that an alert had been issued to the state of Kerala’s coastal regions, warning that an oil slick could impact the entire coastline.

“As the oil slick can reach anywhere along the Kerala coast, an alert has been sounded across the coastal belt,” the statement said, Indian Express reported. “The containers are drifting in the sea at a speed of 3 kph. Besides the oil in the fallen containers, marine fuel used in the ship has also leaked.”

The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority is warning the public to not touch any materials that have washed ashore and could be from the ship.

“Make sure to stay at least 200 meters away,” it said in a Facebook post on Monday. “Do not gather in groups near the area. Do not obstruct authorities while they are removing materials. Stay at a safe distance.”

The ship capsized rapidly Sunday morning due to flooding in one of the holds, the Indian Coast Guard said. Twenty-one crew members were rescued by the Coast Guard and three by the Navy.

The Indian Coast Guard said it has activated a pollution response preparedness protocol and is working with state authorities to address potential spills.
