As a devoted EastEnders viewer, I can’t help but feel a flutter of anticipation as Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) prepares to unveil her audacious scheme: leveraging Martin Fowler‘s (James Bye) life insurance to acquire the iconic Queen Victoria pub. The tension is palpable, and I can only imagine the waves this move will create within the tight-knit community of Walford!
As a devoted cinephile, I must say it was none other than Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) herself who chose to utilize a significant portion of her unexpected £100K windfall for this particular endeavor, with a keen interest in making strategic investments.
Once Stacey had confirmed her decision, Kat enthusiastically consented. As the BBC soap resumes on July 21st, 2025, the Slaters are delightfully discussing Kat’s prospective relocation to the pub, with Stacey pushing for Kat to take over as landlady.
However, Kat’s optimistic mood is disrupted when Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) and Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) express doubts about spending Martin’s life insurance funds on the business transaction.

Absolutely, since Ian is Martin’s relative, it’s understandable that he might have a valid justification for commenting on Kat and Stacey’s decision.
As a moviegoer, I should mention that Ian isn’t just interested in the cinema, he’s also eagerly eyeing the local pub for purchase. In fact, he’s thinking of liquidating Beale’s Eels, a venture dear to him, to finance this new dream of his.
This angers Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), while Stacey undergoes a shift in feelings regarding the money, all while managing this predicament and taking phone calls from Kat’s spouse Alfie (Shane Richie).
Alfie discreetly looks for Zoe, Kat’s long-lost child (played by Michelle Ryan), overseas without Kat knowing anything about it yet.

After failing to take Alfie’s call, Stacey quickly informs everyone that due to unforeseen circumstances, Kat won’t be able to utilize the life insurance policy for The Vic.
Is this linked to Alfie’s mission?
In due course, Jean (Gillian Wright) provides assistance to Stacey, enabling them to reconsider their initial decision about the bid. Meanwhile, the Slaters find themselves in a situation where they need to postpone or delay the auction, as they are competing against a real estate developer in which Ian is involved.
Who will current owner Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) sell to?
