The show will see Kat and Alfie arrive in a fictional seaside village – filming took place in Dunmore East, Co. Waterford last year – looking for answers before they quickly find themselves drawn into a complicated series of shadowy events.

Recently teasing the show, Shane Richie, who first played Alfie in 2002, said that the show was “like Broadchurch”.

“It’s a dark thriller we never really referenced before on EastEnders. I hope EastEnders fans will watch it, and non-fans give it a chance it cause it’s a good thriller,” he told the Irish Daily Star.

Speaking after the six-part series was announced, Danish Director Jesper Nielsen said: “We have a really important and fantastic story to tell.

“It’s about how one woman’s search for a lost child opens Pandora’s box; revealing the terrible lies and secrets in the little village of Redwater.

“It’s a story about how the strong bonds of love in a family can hold everything together, and yet at the same time – destroy everything.”

Premieres Thursday 18th May at 8pm!

[Ross.]

Lostie to watch as Fionnula is front and centre?

[Marsh.]

I'm Alfie's tighty whities

[Marsh.]

Of all the casting news and pictures, have they actually showed who is playing Kat's son?

[Ross.]

Well no why would they

[Ross.]

There's obvious candidates from the cast but they haven't revealed who it is as I'm guessing it'll have some build up first before we find out

What do you mean why would they? Because he's the whole reason the show exists.

They've announced the cast and not mentioned who will play the son.

I bet he's dead. Poor Kat.

From the sound of the show I'm gonna guess the son was raised by Fionnula's family and there's been some form of abuse occurring. Which is exactly how he was conceived with Kat being raped by her uncle, so she WILL FLIP T'FUQ OUT.

Michelle Ryan steps out of the shadows in the climax to episode 1 sporting a moustache - he is Boe.

"You're my mudder, so you are?"

"Yes, I am. "

[Ross.]

I can't believe how long this has taken to actually happen

It was announced in April 2015.

[Marsh.]

It looks like they've walked into a period piece.

Imagine if they brought Fionnula back to the Square.

[Ross.]

I'm the random horse

[Ross.]

Oh the name is actually Kat and Alfie: Redwater now apparently

[Rob!]

This is going to make me miss DTC even more

[Rob!]

That horse is so unEastenders

[Marsh.]

This isn't EastEnders.

But of course.

[Marsh.]

Here for her to slaughter Alfie.

[Lostie!]

I genuinely thought that earlier

[Firewire]

Well personally, I'm shook.

Is this Redwater or the Wild West?
