Fans think there may be sparks between the two after Linda offered Alfie his job back behind the bar.

Alfie pleaded Linda for a job in a bid to remind ex-wife Kat the good times they had when they owned the Queen Vic pub.

The pair bonded as they shared their fond memories with their exs.

Alfie revealed that he and Kat got married behind the bar and Linda told him that she and Mick Carter renewed their vows in the same spot.

Could the two lost souls find comfort in each other?

Fans seem to think so as one tweeted: “Why do I feel like Linda and Alfie are gonna hook up?”

Another wrote: “Kinda obvious Alfie and Linda will get together.”

A third penned: “Linda and Alfie will get together come New Year mark my words.”

However, Alfie’s margarita night backfired massively on Wednesdays episode, leaving Linda unimpressed.

Residents went to Peggy’s to celebrate Jay’s birthday, leaving the pub empty.

Linda said: “I’m sorry but I think you have to face the truth I don’t think you fit here anymore. Kat is with Phil. You need to start moving on with your life.”

Alfie asked: “You mean like you and Mick?” which made Linda storm off.

Can Alfie change Linda’s mind?

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One.
