The Moons are going to take over Albert Square!
According to Shane Richie, who plays wheeler dealer Alfie Moon, if he has his way the Moon family will soon have more presence in Walford than the Mitchells.
Shane told Inside Soap magazine: "The aim is to extend the Moon family and make them a more prominent presence in Walford.
"I think more Moons will arrive soon. It will be great to see them settled after Alfie has spent time on the run."
Alfie arrived in Albert Square in 2002 with Nana Moon and younger brother Spencer, played by Christopher Parker.
After five years away Alfie is back in Walford, and back with Kat after they struggled to have a baby, but she is pregnant with his cousin Michael's baby.
Alfie is happy to bring up the baby as his own, and while he has forgiven Kat, Shane is not sure if he will forgive his cousin, played by Steve John Shephard, when he returns from Spain.
He said: "I don't know if he can."

Yeh I wish they would have had more of a showdown!

EASTENDERS favourites Kat and Alfie Moon are getting "married" again - in a recreation of their wedding seven years ago.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun's new Saturday TV magazine Buzz, stars Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace tell all about the top-secret storyline.
Woo Moon ... Alfie's proposal
The Sun told earlier this week how Alfie proposes to pregnant Kat under a full moon next Thursday, asking her to renew their vows.
Shane, 46, said: "Alfie has this big idea they'll recreate their wedding in The Vic. But it all goes wrong as he's too busy being a knight in shining armour for Jack Branning and Ronnie Mitchell."
When Alfie gets a faceful of wedding cake from his bride - wearing the dress from her Christmas 2003 wedding - it seems it could all be off. But Kat forgives him and they "wed" again.
Jessie, 39, said her daughter Tallulah, five, was so convinced by the scene, she thought they were REALLY getting hitched.
Jessie revealed: "She said, 'When are they going to start acting?' I took that as a compliment, like, 'Oh aren't they so natural?' But Shane took it the other way!"
The scenes will be broadcast on November 11 and 12.
In Buzz, Jessie also talks about her fears on returning to the show and her search for love - while Shane confesses his bad habits and thoughts on fatherhood.

EastEnders stars Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace have revealed details of the trouble in store on Kat and Alfie Moon's wedding day.
In next week's episodes, the Walford duo's plans to renew their vows hit crisis point when Alfie gives away all of their wedding food and decorations to Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), who is desperately trying to save her sister Ronnie's nuptials.
Speaking to Inside Soap about his character's shock decision, Richie explained: "Roxy helped Alfie out by paying some of his rent on The Vic, so he feels that helping her is the least he can do. It's typical Alfie - he thinks that he can juggle all these balls, and ends up dropping the lot!"
Alfie's generosity leaves Kat enraged when she comes downstairs in The Vic and discovers that her entire wedding has disappeared. She then announces that the whole event is cancelled.
Wallace told the magazine: "That's just Kat being Kat. She's always been sulky. Even though it's been five years since we've seen her, she's still behaving like a teenager."
Although fans will see Stacey (Lacey Turner) try to convince Kat that Alfie is the best thing in her life, it is currently unknown whether the pair's big day will get back on track.
"All I can say is that it's typical Kat and Alfie," Wallace teased. "There are some very beautiful moments along the way, though."

Jessie Wallace has revealed that her EastEnders character Kat Moon will show her "softer side" more often as she reaches the final stages of her pregnancy.
Kat is currently eagerly awaiting family life as she settles into the Queen Vic with husband Alfie (Shane Richie) following their recent return to Albert Square.
Speaking to the Inside Soap Yearbook 2011 about her alter ego's future, Wallace commented: "Kat's coming to the end of her pregnancy, so you'll get to see her softer side as she changes. All Kat's ever wanted is to be a proper mother.
"The main thing for her, regardless of who the father is, is that she's having this child no matter what. Because of all that happened with her daughter Zoe, her main concern is to be a good mum so no-one can take the baby away like they did before. All she wants for her child is stability and a decent future."
The actress also discussed how much she is enjoying life at EastEnders, explaining that there is a more pleasant atmosphere on set compared to her first stint on the show.
She said: "It's different, more chilled out. Everyone's really nice and it feels like a happier place to be. I'm so glad, and I'm having such a brilliant time now."
Next week, viewers will see Kat and Alfie preparing to renew their wedding vows - but problems on the day make it uncertain whether the ceremony will go ahead.

Albert Square tends to be thought of as a centre of misery, but only, it turns out, when the cameras are rolling.
Jessie Wallace, who has reprised her role of feisty Kat Moon in the BBC soap, revealed it is now "a happier place" than it was during her first stint there five years ago.
"I feel a change compared to when I was here before," she told Inside Soap.
"It's different, more chilled out. Everyone's really nice and it feels like a happier place to be. I'm so glad, and I'm having such a brilliant time now."
Jessie also hinted that Kat, who is pregnant with a baby that's not Alfie Moon's (played by Shane Richie) will show a different side to herself soon.
"Kat's coming to the end of her pregnancy, so you'll get to see her softer side as she changes. All Kat's ever wanted is to be a proper mother.
"The main thing for her, regardless of who the father is, is that she's having this child, no matter what," she added. We're rooting for her!

It's Kat and Alfie overload at the minute, their in just about every episode!
-
They can never be in it enough as far as im concerned. I love them! lol. Cant wait for this storyline at Christmas. I thought i was going to hate it but they are developing it really well. I think Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie are incredible actors. Ronnie's character is a bit too repetitive but with Kat and Alfie there it'll be good.

EastEnders star Shane Richie has revealed that the next tragic twist for Alfie and Kat Moon will lead into a big new storyline for the pair.
Next week's episodes of the BBC soap see Kat left stunned as she discovers that she is expecting another baby, despite Alfie previously being told that he was infertile. However, it has emerged that Kat will suffer a miscarriage just days after her positive pregnancy test result.
In an interview with Inside Soap, Richie explained that the heartbreaking development paves the way for the couple's next major plotline.
"This is going to have repercussions for Kat and Alfie," the actor confirmed. "This is the beginning of a big plot that will play out over the coming year. There's a fantastic reason for it which will become clear."
EastEnders fans have recently speculated that Alfie will be revealed as the biological father of Kat's son Tommy following the news that he is not infertile after all. However, Richie said that he is unsure whether this will be the case.
He commented: "As soon as I found out, I thought, 'If Alfie isn't infertile, then surely Tommy could be his son'. But we don't know yet.
"Jessie Wallace and I spoke about the dates of when Alfie was in prison and when he saw Kat before she had the fling with Michael. The writers reckon they don't match up, but we think they do."
