THERE's serious trouble ahead for estranged couple Kat Slater and Phil Mitchell.
When the tough man's sister Sam gets in between them, the owner of Kat's Cabs drops him a bombshell next week in EastEnders.
After six years away, Sam Mitchell (portrayed by Kim Medcalf) came back to Albert Square and immediately began to wreak havoc.
Her main targets, as she tries to prove she's worth the Mitchell name, have been Kat Slater (played by Jessie Wallace) and long-term enemy Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).
The pair have grown closer in recent weeks, joining forces while Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) remains behind bars.
Unfortunately, Sam's scheming seems to get the best of them as she accused Sharon of having an emotional affair with her former husband Phil, thus toying with Kat's insecurities.
