Alfie Moon is back in EastEnders – but fans slam his actions as “out of order”

Shane Richie has reprised his role as the former pub landlord...

Alfie Moon has finally returned to Albert Square – and he hasn’t changed one bit.

His wardrobe of many colours has clearly been flown over from Spain, resplendent with shirts found under the ‘loud’ department of the market stall.

And he has yet another money-making business – this time Blue Moon Funerals.

But it may well be Alfie himself needing a funeral, as his comeback didn’t exactly go smoothly.

Last night’s hour-long special of EastEnders (Thursday 15 November) saw Kat reunited with her estranged husband when he made a shock return to Walford.

But, when she discovered he’d flown over WITHOUT their children, Kat was furious that they were still in Spain.

Turns out Alfie is still holding a grudge against Kat for their son Ernie’s injuries.

Due to her negligence – sleeping with Russian called Dmitri when she should have been watching her kids – Ernie got scalded by a kettle of boiling water and could have died.

He required skin grafts and will never be the same again.

But fans were angry with Alfie for refusing to forgive her, especially as he has a colossal secret of his own – his one night stand with Hayley, which resulted in her pregnancy.

One fan slammed Alfie, saying: “I’ve always shipped Kat and Alfie, but sorry, Alfie is so out of order right now.

“Saying it upsets the kids to speak to Kat on the phone! Um, no it upsets them that you won’t let them ever see their own mother who they adore and miss.”

Another said: “Kat you are too good for Hayley or Alfie. Pair of hypocrites.”

“Alfie’s such a [bleep]. Giving Kat [bleep] for cheating on him and taking the kids away from her when he slept with Hayley and got her pregnant,” fumed a third.

Some wondered why there’d been no reference to their spin-off drama Redwater, with one typing: “So are we just pretending Kat and Alfie didn’t do that other weird TV drama by the beach last year? Ok then.”

However, many were also thrilled to see Alfie back.

Upcoming scenes will see Hayley meet his newborn daughter and, eventually, Kat find out the truth about Hayley and her husband’s betrayal.

That’s what we meant about Alfie needing his own funeral pretty soon…
