As EastEnders icon Alfie Moon prepares to embark on a heartbreaking prostate cancer storyline, we take a closer look back at some of his most memorable storylines to date
For 21 years, EastEnders icon Shane Richie has been delighting fans with his portrayal of mild mannered barman Alfie Moon, with legions of viewers always keen to follow the characters often lighthearted antics.
“Shane has thoughtfully portrayed the realities of being diagnosed with prostate cancer with grace and understanding. He then proceeded to con his new neighbours, including market trader Winston into refunding him for a video he had actually stolen, while also convincing Martin Fowler to give him some fruit for free.
Seeing that he was a good man at heart, Peggy then agreed to give him a second chance and allowed him to legitimately take on a job at the pub, this time using his own identity. Embarrassed and rejected by the lack of trust, Kat soon decided to place some distance between herself and Alfie and headed on a trip to New York to clear her head, yet in a shocking twist after just a few days away, she returned with local mobster Andy Hunter, with the pair soon revealing that they were engaged.
Not one to take the humiliation lightly, Andy soon swore vengeance on the couple and for a time even blackmailed Alfie into paying him money to stop him from releasing a sex tape of Kat to the world. Unwilling to accept this turn of events, Ronnie later sought out Kat in hospital and while her baby Tommy was left unattended, later swapped the infants and pretended that Kat herself had lost her baby.
Keeping this news from Kat, Alfie sought guidance from a priest, and in an especially poignant moment, asked to be baptised in case he died during the procedure.
