9 possible explanations for Kathy Beale's return

Just over three months ago, Kathy Beale made a shocking reappearance - over a decade since her last appearance and nine years after she was supposedly killed in a car crash.

However, the Beale matriarch is alive and well and has been seen having secret meetings with her ex-husband, Phil.

1

Witness protection?

Perhaps Kathy got herself into a sticky situation and, for the good of her safety, was admitted to witness protection? 

2

Insurance scam gone wrong...?

Kathy was coerced into 'faking' her death for a windfall, only for it to backfire spectacularly.

3

Gangsters?!

Kathy has been forced to fake her death to 'take a hit' for gangster who wants her dead or wants revenge on Gavin - presumably if she hadn't 'died' they would have come after Ian and Ben instead, hence the deceit.

4

On the run?!

Maybe Kathy has broken the law in some way and has faked her death to escape a long prison sentence in a South African jail.

5

Mental abuse?

Could Gavin have mentally abused Kathy, somewhat like Lucas Johnson did to Denise Fox?!

6

Gavin's a criminal mastermind?!

Gavin is a criminal who has pinned his crimes on Kathy. She needed to escape fast or be faced with drug smuggling, murder and theft charges.

7

Amnesia?!

Maybe Kathy has Amnesia, however, this seems highly unlikely as she pleaded with Phil to let her come home.

8

Kathy isn't actually alive?

Kathy is a figment of Phil's imagination, only he can see her.

9

Something else?

Bear in mind, this is EastEnders (the soap which brought back Den Watts from the dead), so anything is possible. Perhaps the genius that is Dominic Treadwell-Collins has something even more clever up his sleeve?
