\n\t\tAnother big twist in tonight\u2019s instalment (Picture: BBC\/Metro)<\/p>\n
Alfie Moon<\/a> (Shane Richie<\/a>) has returned to EastEnders \u2013 and has received a firm warning from wife Kat<\/a> (Jessie Wallace<\/a>) concerning the multitude of lies he\u2019s told her.<\/p>\n As viewers of the BBC<\/a> One soap know, he\u2019s spent the last few weeks searching for his estranged step-daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan)<\/a>, who fled\u00a0London<\/a>\u00a0for Barcelona after telling him that she\u2019d done something \u2018so bad\u2019 that her family would disown her.<\/p>\n Zoe and Kat haven\u2019t seen one another in years, and she was adamant that her mother play no part in her life. As a result, Alfie had to think quickly for an excuse to leave.<\/p>\n He first told his family that his brother Spencer (Christopher Parker) \u2013 who lives in Australia<\/a> \u2013 was in turmoil, so had to rush off to be by his side. <\/p>\n Of course, it didn\u2019t take long for the truth to out and\u00a0Stacey Slater<\/a>\u00a0(Lacey Turner<\/a>) was forced to say Alfie had\u00a0suffered a cancer scare<\/a>, and was in\u00a0Spain<\/a>\u00a0trying to clear his head.<\/p>\n Stace\u2019s mum Jean<\/a> (Gillian Wright<\/a>) then began asking questions about what was going on, and yet another lie was created \u2013 that Alfie needed money to track down his own daughter Cherry, after her mum Hayley (Katie Jarvis)<\/a> ended up in a bad way.<\/p>\n Kat got wind of what was being discussed, and saw red. She couldn\u2019t wait for Alfie to return so that she could confront him.<\/p>\n Back in Spain, Alfie thought that Kat knew about Zoe. While drunk, he poured his heart out and told her everything about what was going on in a voicemail message.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Arriving back in tonight\u2019s episode, he feared the worst. He was firstly surprised to learn that he was now landlord of The Queen Vic<\/a>, with Kat making the purchase in his absence.<\/p>\n She put on a fa\u00e7ade, making it seem like she was thrilled to have him home. But as he relished in the glory of getting away with his many, many fibs, Kat slung a bouquet of flowers around his head and drenched him in champagne.<\/p>\n Upstairs, Alfie assumed she\u2019d listened to the voicemail. However, as their conversation progressed, it became clear that she still believed that he was trying to find Hayley and Cherry.<\/p>\n Kat \u2013 having calmed down \u2013 said that it would be wrong for her to dismiss his concerns about his daughter, and that if she ever found herself in that situation with Zoe she knew he\u2019d feel similar.<\/p>\n But there was one condition. The lies stopped immediately.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tFollow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!\t\t\t<\/p>\n Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

She still hadn\u2019t listened to the voicemail from the night before, and despite Alfie\u2019s attempts to delete it, it was still there.<\/p>\n She headed out into Bridge Street for some privacy, with Stacey rushing after with an excuse to bring her back in. However, just as Kat pressed play on the incriminating voice note, she was mugged by a lad on an e-scooter.<\/p>\n Later, it transpired that this person was drug dealer Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu), who then dropped the device off at Harry Mitchell<\/a>\u2019s (Elijah Holloway<\/a>) flat.<\/p>\n Will the phone be returned?<\/p>\n \t\t\tComments Arrow Arrow![\"Alfie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753777090_568_526545-2f03.jpg\")
