Eastenders Spoilers: Shane Richie Dishes On Alfie Moon’s Return

EastEnders star Shane Richie has opened up about Alfie Moon’s shock return to Walford. Last Thursday night’s big cliffhanger definitely left a lot of people by surprise, as pregnant Hayley Slater was seen meeting up with Alfie in a hotel room.

Hayley made it sound as though she was going to meet up with her mysterious boyfriend Davie, when in fact she was actually preparing to see Alfie.

And now actor Shane Richie is opening up about the scene, telling Digital Spy, “I am back for these episodes. I met up with [EastEnders’ executive consultant] John [Yorke] quite some time ago and he told me about his plans to bring back the Slaters, but that Kat and Alfie are not together. But obviously with Alfie being out there, John explained that it would only be a matter of time before we found out why Alfie wasn’t with Kat and here we are.”

While viewers don’t know what is going on yet, fans will soon find out why Alfie is back in town and what Hayley’s involvement is. Whatever the case, it’s obvious at this point that Alfie and Kat are definitely not together.

Shane added, “The last the viewers will have seen of Alfie was him in Ireland [in Redwater]. Since then the audience will have learnt through Kat that they moved back to Spain, but all that is obvious is that things between the two are really not good.”
