EastEnders‘ Alfie Moon is set to be left devastated after a setback with Linda Carter.
New scenes set to air on Wednesday, January 10 will follow Alfie as he recovers from the first round of his cancer treatment.
Alfie is looking forward to spending some time with friend Linda, especially given the support she has given him since his recent prostate cancer diagnosis.
The pair plan a movie night at The Vic — but when Alfie gets there, he receives bad news from Elaine and George and feels let down when Linda fails to turn up.
Alfie is unaware of Linda’s current troubles as she tries to keep Keanu Taylor’s death a secret.
Will Alfie be able to forgive her?

Viewers will know that Linda fatally stabbed Keanu when he tried to strangle Sharon Watts, finally resolving the Christmas Day flashforward mystery that has been building up all year.
The Six — Linda, Sharon, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater, Denise Fox and Kathy Cotton — have been trying to cover up the crime ever since, and scenes airing next month will see the group plan to move Keanu’s body.

Speaking recently about his character’s demise, star Danny Walters admitted that keeping the secret was tough.
“It’s been extremely difficult! I feel like I’ve been very deceitful to my friends and my family [laughs] and have made many excuses!” he said.
“But, I wanted the storyline to have as much impact as possible for the audience, so I’ve tried my best to keep everything a secret and hopefully that’s paid off.”
EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
