Aww, Alan, you have missed those threads really, haven't you lol
totally unnecessary, the shows moved on too much since his days.
Work must have shrivelled to a dead end.
Ah the good old days. Whatever happened to Shannis and Kalfie and the gang. They were a hoot :lol: I take it the powers that be at EE have gotten sick of Shane's begging letters togive him a job and gave in. Characters returning to a soap can only work if they have progressed since they've been away. If Alfie has used his time away from the square to move on and built a new life then it may work. If he is coming back the same pennieless loser he was when he left the square then it will backfire on EE like the return of Dirty Den and Nick Cotton did.
Oh gosh hahaha! Dont think I was ever part of Shannis or Kalfie, but I did join the Molfie bandwagon :crying: I WAS ONE OF THEM :crying: I was a terrorist ha. I feel I have grown upo since them days :D :p
i didnt like him
I thought he was doing well after the show?
He must be offered alot of money
I think it'll be great! I also think Jessie Wallace will return, as they both get on really well and have a lot invested in the Alfie and Kat relationship. Its like when Dennis and Sharon returned together after their disappearance. As well as Ricky and Bianca. It'll be great. I'd love to see Alfie get the Vic back. I dont like Roxy in charge.
Or to make it fresh Alfie and Kat could get the club instead. That'd be cool.
OT - Did Shane get a facelift?
BRASSY EastEnders favourite Kat Slater is returning to Albert Square five years after leaving - and she'll be joined by hubby Alfie Moon.
Actress Jessie Wallace, 38, has signed an initial one-year deal to revive the role.
Shane Richie, 45, has hammered out a similar agreement to play Alfie again.
The popular couple were last seen on Christmas Day 2005, leaving Walford for a new life in America.
They arrive back on the BBC1 soap in the autumn.
Their return will be a massive boost for EastEnders, which celebrates its 25th anniversary with a live episode on February 19.
Kat first appeared in 2000 and was at the centre of major storylines - including confessing she was Zoe Slater's mum, not her sister.
She married Alfie on Christmas Day 2003.
But Jessie was involved in her share of controversy during her time in the soap.
She was suspended from the show for two months in 2003 for heavy boozing and was also banned for drink-driving.
After leaving EastEnders, she had roles in ITV1's Wild at Heart and competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
Jessie said yesterday: "I am excited to slip back into Kat's stilettos. I've missed her."
Shane said: "More than anything, I'm looking forward to getting my face covered in Kat's lipstick again!"

Good just what slater family needs
it'll be like the old days on here :rotfl:
Welcome back Kalfie :p
Oh I can feel a Septic Peg prediction coming on. Little Mo will be back with her squeeky voice to get involved in a love triangel with Kat/Alfie for the Christmas plot.
Long live Kalfie & Molfie :rotfl::rotfl:
No no no...:thumbsdow
Eastenders does not need a "boost" at the moment - it's doing very well without the screeching Kat and annoying Alfie.
It never fails to amaze me how so many people leave soaps for fear of becoming typecast or to explore new ventures and end up coming crawling back with their tails between their legs.
Yeh but im glad with characters as brilliant as Kat and Alfie. I hope Bradley comes back one day, and Little Mo would be nice to see back as well.
Bradley can't come back, he dies :(
:eek: has it been 5 years!!!!!!!!
Death doesnt stop anyone returning in EE remember Dirty Den - i dont think Bradley dies i think he does a runner
I hope they dont bring anymore back from the dead
Other people have seen pictures of Bradley's funeral and the spoilers have said he will die, but not by suicide as was claimed
I didn't realise he's definitely going to die, although I didn't think he would just run away and leave Stacey. Now I'm gutted :(
I am still hoping he does not die but it looks like it from other forums :(
I'm going to keep hoping too. I'll be a mess if he dies :crying:
well they must be taking over the vic because what else would they come back too
Jessie Wallace looks very different now

Aww she does look good though!
Many of them beleive that once they've been in a soap they're invincible and will get jobs anywhere. I have been a supporter for many years that tv programmes should recruit young stars from drama schools and not just pick them off the streets. When EE started many of the young cast members came from Grange hill and other programmes and although thier acting wasn't great they learned and progressed from actors who had been in the trade for years. yes EE has dished out their fair share of dumplings. But some young cast members have went onto bigger things. Like Michelle Fowler. Sue Tully she is a successful director thannks to Grange Hill and EE.
I'm sure alan would like to add Todd Carty to the list of greats who came up through Grange Hill and Eastenders!
EASTENDERS stars have handed show bosses a petition urging them to AXE the return of "nuisance" Jessie Wallace.
The Sun revealed last month that the 38-year-old actress - who played Kat Slater - had signed a one-year deal to return to Walford.
But senior cast members, including Steve McFadden, 50, are furious about her big return - warning it will be a "disaster" for morale on the BBC1 soap. Their petition demands a U-turn over plans to bring her back in the autumn with screen husband Alfie Moon, played by Shane Richie, 45.
A source said: "A lot of the senior cast who worked with Jessie the first time round are livid.
"She was a complete nuisance when she was on the show. It would be a disaster for her to come back.
"She wasn't afraid to speak her mind and often upset stars during filming. By the time she left, a lot of them were breathing sighs of relief.
"A lot of the cast saw her as a bully. She was aggressive and difficult to deal with because she was so strong-willed.
"The petition was handed in last week. It didn't go down well, but some of the senior cast felt it was a point that had to be made."
Jessie was involved in a string of incidents during her five-year stint in Albert Square, which ended in 2005.
She was suspended from the show for two months in 2003 for heavy boozing and also got a drink-drive ban.
In 2006 she admitted being "out of control" on drugs when she first played Kat. After leaving, she was in Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
An EastEnders spokeswoman said: "We've received no complaints from cast members regarding Jessie's return and are looking forward to having her back."

The Poison dwarf had she been staying in Deadenders would probably not like being upstaged by a younger model. Dunno why Beetroot man signed a petition as hes leaving anyway
EastEnders bosses have denied claims that the soap's cast are campaigning against the return of Walford favourite Jessie Wallace.
A tabloid report today alleged that a number of cast members had signed and handed in a petition calling for producers to scrap plans to bring the actress back.
It was announced last month that Wallace will return to the role of Albert Square's Kat Moon later this year. She was last seen on screen in December 2005.
Earlier today, The Sun alleged that senior cast members who have previously worked with Wallace felt "livid" over the comeback and were convinced it would be a "disaster" for morale.
However, dismissing the rumours, an EastEnders spokeswoman said: "We've received no complaints from cast members regarding Jessie's return and are looking forward to having her back."
A show source this morning told DS: "No petition exists. We really don't know where this story came from. Everyone's really pleased to have Jessie back on board."
Wallace will be joined by her screen husband Shane Richie (Alfie Moon) when she appears back on screen in the autumn.
DS
Sorry but Im afraid I believe The Sun. They are usually 100% spot on with their soap exclusives
He reportedly said that he does not want to continue with EE once Barbara Windsor has gone
