Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) is left upset in EastEnders as he continues his fight against prostate cancer.
He was diagnosed back in the summer, after taking a punch in the stomach from off-the-rails son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall).
Afterwards, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) insisted Alfie go to A&E to get himself checked out, and doctors revealed worrying news.
Alfie’s prostate was enlarged, and further tests revealed it was cancerous.
Since then, his ex-wife Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) has stepped right up, putting her differences aside.
She’d been furious with Alfie for disappearing – when in fact he’d secretly has his prostate removed and had headed to Spain to recuperate, without telling her or their kids why.
When he confessed the truth, Kat was keen to help and even attended his cancer treatment with him.
But as Alfie finishes his first course of treatment, he’s left gutted.
The lovable market trader has planned a movie night with Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), but he’s left devastated when she fails to show.
Linda, as viewers know, is currently coming to terms with the fact that she killed Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day.
The landlady was able to cover up the crime with the help of five fellow Walford women but this ordeal, coupled with Dean Wicks’ (Matt Di Angelo) presence in the Square, has left her seeking solace in the booze.
Will Alfie find out what is bothering Linda? Can Linda open up to her friend?
