Although he even got engaged to Zoe, he still held a flame for Kat, and when Zoe left the Square the pair slept together once again – on the day he was supposed to marry Zoe.
With Kat and Anthony back on, their differing social circles became more apparent, with Kat growing close to Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie) who helped her with her table etiquette ahead of an important dinner.
Kat would later discover she was pregnant by Anthony, and considered having an abortion, only to suffer a miscarriage before she could even tell him.
