Kat's changed statement leads to confrontation with Carol in EastEnders

EastEnders' Carol Jackson is outraged when she discovers Kat Moon has changed her statement to police to help out Janine Butcher.

The Walford tyrant bumped off husband Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) last year, but tried to frame Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) for the crime, although both Janine and Alice are now in prison awaiting trial.

Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) has recently arrived back on the Square, but is hiding out, as she fled from Walford when Janine (Charlie Brooks) lied to the police that she had been stabbed by Stacey when she was unable to prove that Stacey had murdered Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb).

Kat (Jessie Wallace) has entered into a dangerous deal on her cousin Stacey's behalf, agreeing that she will change her statement to put Alice further in the frame for killing Michael, in return for Janine dropping her charges against Stacey so that she can move back home.

But a furious Carol (Lindsey Coulson) knows none of this when she gets wind of the news that Kat has helped out Janine and could be sending her niece Alice down for murder.

Unable to believe what she has heard, she storms round to Kat's with Bianca (Patsy Palmer) and Max (Jake Wood) in tow and warns Kat that she won't get away with what she has done.

The scenes are due to screen on EastEnders on March 11 and 14.
