THINGS are about to take an unfortunate turn for returning character Alfie Moon.
Next week in EastEnders, the character played by Shane Richie is kidnapped by a gunman.
Alfie Moon gets into trouble next week
It all begins when he tries to keep his sons busy
He gives them a challenge – guess the code to Phil Mitchell’s safe
Alfie returned to Albert Square in September, 2022, to stop Kat Slater (portrayed by Jessie Wallace) from tying the knot with Phil Mitchell.
Since then, he’s been kept at a safe distance from any turmoil in Walford – but that’s all about to change.
In scenes due to air next week on BBC One, he first tries to reassure Kat that he’s got everything under control at home and tries to keep his sons busy.
Alfie thus comes up with a game – the boys have to guess the code to Phil’s safe and, together, they all work it out.
