Alfie Moon

I will miss him so much. Yes, no one person is bigger than the show, but i wont be watching when he leaves because he was and is the only reason i watch ee. I cant believe there is going to be no more kalfie...tis all very sad :crying:

I can't wait to see the back of him.

I feel for all you Kalfie lovers though because that's how we felt when Sharon left at Christmas and we didn't know whether she was coming back.

I don't dislike Alfie, infact I'm really enjoying the Lil Mo/Alfie storyline and last night it was so funny. Kat and Alfie were good at the time and I really enjoyed that storyline, but now I feel it is time to move on from Kat/Alfie, otherwise things will just be going round in circles. I love the whole Moon family, they make Alfie now and with them he is good.

Shane Richie is a good actor and a good bloke unfortunately though he tends to be a bit big headed. Eastenders will survive without him, it did when the Den/Angie era ended, it moved onto a new Eastenders and the same will happen again. It changes all the time.

Quote: kelly05 I will really miss Alfie He came into Eastenders when the show was desperately in need of a ratings boost, and I absolutely adored him....(still do!) But I have to admit that the character has went a tad stale. I think moving Alfie out of the Vic was a big mistake. The scope for all the comedy scenes we came to love has gone. Alfie is no longer the centre of everything in the Square. Also I think his character has been seriously affected by the departure of Kat. I mean this whole Little Mo storyline is just so cringeworthy. I don't think viewers relate to it, the way they did with Kat and Alfie. I don't think we can take anything away from Shane Ritchie for what he done for the show....but at the end of the day, no one is bigger than it. Eastenders will survive!!!!

I completely agree with u kelly. I love Alfie, and still do. i think he's brilliant. But his storylines have gone down the pan since he lost the vic and kat. I had really hoped that Peggy would return (even though she annoys me) and reinstate Alfie, perhaps alongside Chrissie (not as a couple tho). Then when Kat came bk and wanted her job bk and wiv lil Mo workin there too there wud b so many comedy moments. I wish Alfie was stayin, and I disagree that Shane Richie is self obsessed and all the other things that have been said about him. He's been in show business a long time and he's been to both ends aswell-bankrupt to stardom and bk again etc etc. There's no way he would believe he's better than anyone else.

Yes but if he was a good enough actor he wouldn't need the vic,he should be established enough by now to be interesting in his own right.

I agree. The absense of Jessie and the loss of the Vic has highlighted his weaknesses.

I don't rate Shane. He has to be one of the most overrated Actors of the show and he is not worthy of picking up all these awards. There are better actors on the show.

He was ok during the first year but after that he has disintegrated. He didn’t deserve a nomination, let alone win. Stupid popularity award if you ask me.

Shane Ritchie said during the awards 'If your a fan of Alfie Moon, then you're a fan of mine' -says it all doesn't it?

Sounds like SALLY FIELD when she got her Oscar.."you like me you really like me".. after that,,,,,,, her popularity dwindled,,,,,,, :thumbsdow

I don't agree. Eastenders have some great actors and actresses left in the show both old and recent additions. Shane/Alfie once the Kat/Alfie storyline finished and Jessie left the show had no storylines, that is until his cousins arrived. One of which I personally think will now go on to be an even bigger hit in the soap, possibly a bigger hit and more popular than Alfie.

It wouldn't surprise me if Joel Beckett and Tracey Ann Orberman now went on to be the New Mr and Mrs Eastenders.

I wish I felt the same. I have tried to like Danny and Jake. I enjoyed Jake's character from The Office and thought he was going to be a welcome addition, but the scripts seem to give him nothing to do, but be a male version of Nana Moon's character almost. He plays the level-headed, smart one who is always fixing things. Danny only gets to play either an idiot or ready to explode. If only they would expand them a little more like they did with Dennis they might actually become "people."

Absolutely agree with you. He was very funny when he first came to the show. They have taken away all of his witty remarks and off-handed gestures and turned him into a whiny kind of guy. I could never put my finger on it, but I felt the same way. Something became missing the moment Kat looked back up at the window on her way down the street. Its a shame because I did like him once and now he is almost an extra like Tracy the Barmaid, even with his scenes and the building of storylines around him and Little Mo. I was beside myself when he was tosssed out of The Vic. I don't even care about him anymore. Although i was very happy to see Spencer go. What a spaz! :sick: They should have created a storyline around what happened in his real life, perhaps it would have made him more interesting.
