EastEnders actor Shane Richie has teased the absolute “nightmare” that his character Alfie Moon is going to go through next week.
Alfie and Kat Slater are set to get married for the third time, after the idea of a fake wedding photoshoot turned into a real proposal.
However, a misunderstanding regarding some explicit videos on the laptop (which is actually Joel and Tommy’s doing) leads to Kat calling the whole thing off.
“It’s a complete nightmare for Alfie,” Richie said. “He’s trying to juggle many plates and dropping more than a few. But then it wouldn’t be a Walford wedding if it wasn’t full of drama, would it?
“Alfie is completely devastated and angry. Everything is ready and all she has to say is ‘I do’ but now she’s saying it’s off. This is Alfie’s nightmare.”

The actor “of course” thinks that the two can resolve the situation and get back on track. He said: “I think most people want Kat and Alfie to make it work. Whenever I’m out, that’s what everyone says, and they want to know when Kat and Alfie will get remarried.
“It was great fun getting all suited and booted again. It’s special to get one wedding, let alone three of them. Let’s hope it’s third time lucky for Kat and Alfie!”
