Gillian Taylforth has teased obstacles facing a happy new love story for Kathy Cotton in EastEnders.
The BBC One soap is gearing up for a big week of 40th anniversary episodes but one story that has been quiet lately has been the growing feelings between Kathy and Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman).
RadioTimes.com spoke to Taylforth as part of the special 40th anniversary and we couldn’t help but ask about the potential of romance for Kathy.
When asked about the growing connection between Kathy and Harvey in recent months, Taylforth highlighted that major issues are preventing a happy romance between the pair – namely the other loves in their lives.
“I think they go well together because they laugh together and everything,” noted Taylforth, “but the trouble is, don’t forget, he’s Rocky’s best friend as well, and she’s still married to Rocky, so I don’t know how that will pan out.
“And I think Kathy would feel very guilty about Jean as well. So, yeah, it is going to be very tricky that one.”

Meanwhile, Harvey is in a long-term relationship with Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) but deceptions on both their parts in recent months have put a strain on them, while Jean is currently isolating herself at home after being traumatised by being scammed out of her financial savings by con artists over the phone.
In January, as Kathy came under suspicion for the attack of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), Harvey gave Kathy a false alibi for the time of the attack to protect her – in a real display of care.
Will Kathy and Harvey risk breaking hearts by getting together?
