Shane Richie's pride shines through for his daughter's birthday as fans say she's 'growing up fast'

EastEnders fans have all been saying the same thing this week, as writers of the show appear to have forgotten about a huge health condition that previously affected fan favourite Alfie Moon. As regular viewers will know, Alfie previously suffered from a brain tumour, which required him to undergo surgery in 2017 after suffering from hallucinations, headaches and of course dizziness.Thankfully, despite nearly dying on the operating table, Alfie survived the procedure and made a full recovery - but fans couldn’t help but notice how it hadn’t been mentioned once, either by Alfie or his doctor, when he was warned he may be suffering from prostate cancer on Tuesday night’s episode, 15 August.

EastEnders fans are convinced they may have rumbled a huge Christmas plot twist, as Walford legend Alfie Moon prepares to be hit with a prostate cancer diagnosis in the coming days. As fans discovered on Tuesday night, 15 August, Alfie was suffering from an enlarged prostate and blood in his urine, something which sparked concern among medics who urgently warned him he needed further tests to rule out prostate cancer.

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. Yet in the coming days, even kind hearted and optimistic Alfie will be hit by a gruelling bombshell, as BBC bosses have revealed the character will be undertaking a hard hitting and poignant prostate cancer storyline.

But with Alfie’s brothers no longer on the scene and his cousins absent from the Square too, it’s only his children and former flame Kat Slater that he can truly rely on.
