EastEnders stars Jessie Wallace and Letitia Dean look completely different in throwback snap from 20 years ago

EASTENDERS stars Jessie Wallace and Letitia Dean look very different in a throwback snap from 20 years ago.

Jessie – who played iconic Kat Slater on the BBC One soap – posed alongside her co-star on the set of Albert Square back in 2002.



Jessie Wallace shared a major throwback with co-star Letitia Dean


Letitia has played Sharon Watts since 1985

Legendary soap star Letitia – who has played Sharon Watts since 1985 – smouldered at the camera.

She wore a pink shirt and a black mini skirt accessorised with a silver belt.

Co-star Jessie opted for a vibrant patterned top and a snake skin faux leather pencil skirt.

Putting one arm around her onscreen pal, Jessie flashed a big smile and showed off her trademark red lippy.

Jessie wrote: “My gorgeous Tish #2002 Polaroid. #love #myGal”

Fans raced to comment on the throwback, with one writing: “You two are the dream team on that show. Was really lovely to see all you women together in EE this week. Girl power!”

Another posted: “Fantastic photo stay smiling.”

A third said: “Love all the new scenes with Sharon and Kat. Need to team up against Sam.”

Someone else gushed: “My two favourites. I ADORE this photo.”

Jessie’s latest post comes after Kat and Sharon teamed up to take on Phil Mitchell’s

But fans are now convinced Sharon Watts and Phil Mitchell will reunite – after spotting a major clue.

The hardman – who is played by actor Steve McFadden in the BBC soap – is currently in prison after refusing to take a police deal and become a criminal informant.

However his girlfriend Kat had no idea – until after she found proof that Sharon had been secretly visiting Phil.

It all emerged as the two women were held hostage by two armed gunmen in Peggy’s alongside Sam Mitchell.

Kat was shocked when she spotted a piece of paper on the floor and quickly snatched it after realising what it was.

She soon revealed she had found her visiting receipt from seeing Phil in prison.

“I’m his fiancee, you’re not his wife,” said Kat before she tried to throw Sharon out.

But Sharon explained: “I’ve tried to convince him to take the deal.

“The police want him to grass but he said no months back. He doesn’t have to be banged up but he won’t listen to me. He could walk out today if he just co-operated, if he wasn’t so old school.”

But Kat had no idea and was devastated that Phil was choosing to stay away from her.

And now fans think Sharon and Phil will reunite after years apart.

One wrote: “Please can Sharon and Phil get back together please. #EastEnders”

Another posted: “I much prefer Sharon and Phil than Kat and Phil. They need to reunite again! #EastEnders”
