Alfie Moon

**Alfie Moon** is a cheeky chappy flogger/barman who is often seen as happy and energetic however he has had his fair share of deep and emotional moments over on british soap opera, **EastEnders**.

## About

Alfie is a cheeky chappy character who has been and gone but came back to Walford many of times since November 2002. The writers had Alfie originally a conman but with a lovable personality. They then decided to pair Alfie with already established character and fan favourite, Kat Slater.

The character was written out in 2005 after Shane Richie decided to leave after three years in the role, the writers written both Alfie out along with Kat and the pair seemily had a happy ending. However after a nearly five year absence, Alifie returned with Kat in September 2010.

Alfie and Kat departed again in May 2016 the pair had their own spin-off written for them known as ''Kat And Alfie Redwater'' the following year - although currently the current EastEnders writing team seemingly want to forget that was even created as no previous mention of anything involving that spin off as made it to the main show since.

While Kat returned first in 2018, Alfie soon followed butctge return wasn't permanent as Alfie was only around for the Christmas and New Year period, Alfie again was written out by the shows writers in January 2019 but unsurprisingly the show brought Alfie back in 2022 and is currently still around.

## Legacy

Alfie immediately made an impression on fans when he first arrived due to his cheeky chappy personality trait but had a conman like edge to him as in his first few set of episodes saw Alfie con, Winston, Martin Fowler and local landlady, Peggy Mitchell although Alfie would be caught out very much like the viewers the writers had the characters of Walford warm to Alfie's charm and even gave him a family when the introduced his younger brother, Spencer and his nan who was given the name, Nana Moon and later on his two criminal cousins, Jake and Danny Moon.

Alfie's most notable interactions are with Kat Slater as the two became in the word of EastEnders producers m "The Nations Favourite" as they often wanted the pair to become a couple. Alfie had to fight for Kat and has took on some of Albert Sqaures most notorious men such as hardman/ladies man, Dennis Rickman, mob boss, Andy Hunter, villain Derek Branning and EastEnders signature hardman, Phil Mitchell.

Despite being more or less the comedic character, Alfie has shown the viewers that he can still capture more than one emotion tge two stand outs are when Nana Moon passed away and years later during a baby swap storyline which was hugely controversial.

Alfie as said has been and gone but most of his storylines have involved his love for Kat and this prompts fans to get frustrated with his needy wanting for Kat, despite having more or less the same personality some fans have accused Alfie of being narcissistic as at times Alfie has shown a darker tone to his character especially in the later years of his second stint however, Alfie IS always a good man at heart.

Alfie was seemingly given a brain tumour by the shows writers but since 2016 there has been no mention of the tumour which has puzzled fans so far until they get some answers as to why. Alfie since returning currently has someone distanced himself from the old Alfie and seemily has reverted back to his old chappy/conning self. Currently fans are speculating whether the character will be paired with one of the leading female characters in, Linda Carter.
