EastEnders star Gillian Taylforth reveals all on Kathy's shock return

Adam Woodyatt returns to Walford East for another edition of EastEnders’ new series Secrets From The Square, and this time, he brings with him on-sceen mum and all-round icon, Gillian Taylforth.

Adam and Gillian — who portray son and mother duo Ian and Kathy Beale — join Stacey Dooley to relive their highlights on the BBC One soap thus far, recalling their greatest moments and revealing behind the scenes gossip.

During the special episode, Gillian will discuss the nerves that she felt while filming Kathy’s top secret return storyline in 2015 amid the soap’s 30th anniversary.

A moment we’ll never forget!

Meanwhile, Adam will also spill the beans on the real reason as to why he had to wear a hat throughout the storyline which saw Ian become homeless.

The pair, who actually refer to one another as ‘Mum’ and ‘Son’ even when the cameras aren’t rolling, open up about their unique 35-year friendship, and highlight why it wasn’t unusual for Adam to rock up at Gillian’s house for food at 2am.

The Walford icons take a trip back into the archives to discuss their biggest scenes, as they reveal their own stories about the moments in question.

Amid all of the memories, the duo will tell the story of their very first meeting — which took place during rehearsals for the soap in 1984.

What’s more, Gillian will reveal who Kathy’s favourite son is.

A revelation worthy of a Doof Doof, we reckon!

It won’t all be trips down memory lane though, as both actors will reveal what’s ahead for Ian and Kathy when EastEnders return in the Autumn.
