It feels like forever since Tina did anything of note and Luisa Bradshaw-White always steps up to the plate.

I'm excited to see what's in store for her!

Luisa is SO good. Sylvie's death the mugging and then running over Janet were some of the greatest moments of last year and all had Luisa at the centre.

Tina's one of those characters I never think about when she's not around, but when she's around and has a storyline, I'm always gripped.

That's the perfect description for her.

It looks like a good Summer from the clips.

And to think people laughed off that "Points of View" representative's generic "EastEnders is building up to an exciting summer" tagline...

He wasn't wrong.

Kat really is receiving the scraps right now. A brief moment in the trailer to try and hoodwink any long term fans into watching is all she's good for these days it seems. Jessie needs something meaty to get her teeth into and quickly otherwise it won't be long before she's back on a plane to make amends with Zoe for the tenth time.

I have no doubt that Jessie will be getting her moment in the spotlight in the coming months but at the moment it's clear to me at the very least what they're doing with her character.

After a wobbly stint between 2010-2015 and the disaster that was Redwater, they are getting back to the very core of Kat Slater's character and rebuilding her as a legend in her own right in 2018 rather than allowing her to ride on the coat tails of her former self. As Jessie herself requested when she returned to the show. she's "full whack Kat". Leopard print and lippy and cracking one liners. The Slater dynamic has been joyous to watch and we've really seen different sides to Kat that we were missing out on last time. Kat drawing upon her past experiences with Little Mo/Trevor and confronting Ollie was Kat Slater of old - doing the wrong thing but for the right reason. At the moment we're very much seeing Kat with her mask on but there have been those little glimmers that everything isn't okay. As a character Kat has always been one to mask her feelings. By showing her fun and feisty side as well as her more vulnerable side we're seeing who Kat is in 2018, and we get to fall in love with her all over again.

When she's thrown into her next big inevitable drama I will care as we've had the time to get to know her character.
