As the quartet of soap legends ventured out into London’s capital with their co-stars, EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace completely different from Kat Slater during a fabled night out in London.
EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace looked completely different to Kat Slater during a rare night out in London with her co-stars. The actress, 54, has played the leopard print-loving Walford resident for more than 25 years, and opted for a sparkly top as she ventured into the capital with her fellow soap stars.
Jessie was all smiles as she posed alongside Jacqueline Jossa, who stars as Lauren Branning and Eve Unwin actress Heather Pearce. Making up the quartet of television legends was Michelle Collins, who made a shock comeback to the serial just over a year ago when it was revealed that her character Cindy Beale had not actually died in prison in the late 1990s.
The actress shared the sweet snap to her Instagram Story via Jacqueline on Saturday afternoon, who had casually captioned it “Girlies,” before tagging her three friends.
A video that was taken from a nightclub for her Jessie’s Story, which she wrote alongside the post, “Girls night aaaaaaaaaatt,” was a follow-up to her first Jessie’s Story.

Jessie first appeared as Kat in September 2000 and was famously involved in the storyline that saw her reveal to Zoe Slater, who was introduced as her sister, that she was, in fact, her mother. Zoe, still played by Michelle Ryan, recently made a comeback to the programme after two decades away.
Kat is also known for her marriage to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), and the pair were the subject of their own spin-off, Redwater, in 2016. During her stints away from the soap, Jessie has competed on Strictly Come Dancing and, in 2010, she starred as Pat Phoenix in The Road to Coronation Street, which charted the creation of the EastEnders# rival soap in the early 1960s.
Michelle Collins has had a dramatic time since returning to the program in 2024. Cindy Beale’s character was imprisoned in 1999 after hiring a hitman to murder her husband, and it was claimed she had given birth prematurely.
However, it was later revealed that Cindy had been living in Albert Square while her family was being cared for. She later returned to the area.
Michelle acknowledged that she initially feared reprising her role as Cindy after 25 years away-screen, despite the financial success that came with her return.
She said at the TRIC Awards held at Grosvenor House in London, “I didn’t know if people would be happy that she was back.” You have to take that risk, I didn’t realize! But I believe she’s handled her well.
She added that viewers have embraced the villainous nature of the character. She said, “I think people are liking her.” “Nobody wants to see nice Cindy,” Cindy says. They don’t want to see nice Cindy, but she was nice for a while, I’ll assure you.
Sometimes I’ll pick up the scripts and say, “Oh no, you can’t,” but I’ll never do that. Really? having a relationship with his son? No, people will like her because she’ll be fine.
