EASTENDERS fans are in shock after Alfie Moon made a surprise appearance in tonight’s episode.
The conman – who is played by actor Shane Richie in the BBC soap – made a shock appearance in a video call to his son Tommy in tonight’s episode.
Tommy made the shock decision to video call his dad after struggling with his relationship with step-dad Phil Mitchell.
“I can’t believe it’s you,” said Alfie as he couldn’t believe how his son had changed.
“I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. You’re never far from my thoughts.
“I know it’s been a few years but look at you – you’re turning into a little man. Is your mum still with that Kush fella?”

But then Alfie got distracted and ran off to shout at a woman with a kazoo.
Tommy told him: “I just wanted to see your face, I better go now.”
“Are you sure?” Alfie replied before telling his son: “I love you.”
Later Kat told Tommy he could call Phil dad instead and Phil was on top of the world.
However viewers were shocked at Alfie’s surprise return.
One wrote: “I’m so happy welcome back the legend Alfie @realshanerichie one of my favourite characters
#EastEnders.”
A second said: “Wasn’t expecting Alfie to be back soon. Shame he doesn’t know about Kush. #EastEnders.”
Another added: “Wasn’t expecting to see Alfie this quick #eastenders.”
The BBC soap confirmed last week that actor Shane Richie would be making a shock comeback to the soap after three years away.
The actor, 58, 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 castmates and meeting some new ones.
“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.”
