Almost twenty years after first appearing on the soap, Shane Richie is returning to EastEnders as Alfie Moon. Richie, who was last seen on the soap in 2019, will return to Albert Square in the autumn.
On returning to EastEnders, Richie said: “It's an absolute honour and privilege to be asked back to my TV home of Albert Square. I’m looking forward to catching up with some old cast mates and meeting some new ones."
He added: "The new exec producer Chris Clenshaw has been instrumental in wanting to bring Alfie Moon back with some wonderful storylines… and who am I to say no?! I can't wait."
