Shane Richie set to return to EastEnders this month as fan favourite Alfie Moon

EastEnders viewers will see a familiar face pop up in Walford later this month - Alfie Moon is soon set to make a comeback.

Shane Richie is reprising his iconic role, 20 years on from his first appearance on the BBC soap back in November 2002. After departing in January 2019, fans don’t have long left to wait until they see him on their TV screens again - Alfie will return in an episode airing on September 12 .

Viewers will watch Alfie try to rekindle his romance with Jessie Wallace’s Kat Slater before she marries Phil Mitchell, played by Steve McFadden. Shane, 58, said that the promise of playing “the old Alfie” enticed him back to his famous role.
