Alfie is only back five minutes and I'm sick of him already.
I liked his character years ago when Nana Moon and Spencer were still around.

Me too , cant stand that slapstick hilarity .

Are we to assume that Kat, Alfie and the entire Slater family have forgotten K&A's trip to Ireland to find Zoe's psycho twin?:cool:

Also - there's never a reference to their big lotto win. :rolleyes:

It is like Redwater never happened

Didn't they say the series set in Waterford was a standalone thing?
Actually yeah, I just looked it up and here's what it says on Wikipedia:

Richie said that as Redwater is a stand-alone series, there is no reference to the EastEnders locations of Walford, Albert Square or The Queen Victoria pub, though Alfie does mention that he once worked in a pub, being the only reference to their time in EastEnders. Kat and Alfie's twin sons, Bert and Ernie Moon, do not appear in Redwater, because Treadwell-Collins knew that having two small children in the series would have "limited Kat and Alfie and they wouldn't have been able to do as much", though revealed that they were originally due to appear, but "suddenly you ended up having storylines about who is looking after the twins and on a show like this we needed to tell other stories" and confirmed that Kat and Alfie have only left them for a few weeks and check on them during the series.

It was announced on 30 April 2017 that EastEnders would make a "subtle reference" to Redwater in May, "in a bid to keep the two shows in the same universe", revealing that Kat and Alfie have arrived in Ireland. The reference was made in the episode shown on 16 May 2017, two days before Redwater's UK premiere, in which Kat's relative, Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner), receives a postcard from the pair. Redwater viewers noticed a continuity error in relation to this, as the flashback scene at the start of episode 1 is set in 1994, and then the story continues from "21 years later", meaning it takes place in 2015, though Kat and Alfie left EastEnders in 2016 which is when Kat discovered that her son existed, and Stacey received the postcard from Kat in EastEnders in 2017. In Redwater, Kat refers to a postcard concerning her son dated from December 1983, though the EastEnders timeline gives her son's birth as being in February 1984. Additionally, Adam Postans from the Daily Mirror said that the details in EastEnders of how Kat discovers her son is in Redwater were either "forgotten or abandoned" as they are different in Redwater.

I also read that there was to be a second series of Redwater, but it was shelved before the first was aired.

I've had parties on new years eve that had less ppl at them than hayleys 4pm of a Monday birthday party. Silly.

Some sound outta that lil radio.

BettePorter

That ray is some detective . His girlfriend is parked right outside in a car straight out of an episode of Hart to Hart and he still doesn't spot her.

And here's me doing my stalking in a plain ole ford focus. I need to up my game.

Where's Jean sleeping? she gave up her room for Hayley and Baby.
If this was happening in Dublin Peter McVerry would be screaming from the rooftop that house is busting :rolleyes:

BettePorter

To be fair. It's a great wee house. Great soundproofing. The gang were downstairs screaming abuse at alfie when he arrived and yet Hatley upstairs didn't hear a word.

Kat's secret twin son, Alfie's lotto win and brain tumour all started on Eastenders before they left for Spain and then Ireland with Redwater, strange no update now they back on the Square, I thought Alfie confided in Ian and Phil about his tumour

Was it diagnosed while in Ireland, that might explain it. Probably just a 'windy pain' or a speck of dust on the x ray...or maybe himself and Kat made it to Knock.

was the joke wasted on a lot of viewers with Alfie and deaf ol' Mrs Calendar - he said "im just off to the Bank ... no, I said Bank Mrs Calendar .. I'm a grown up now"

I think ian now has the skaters telly as he wanted payment for the one he lost but the slaters can probably be stalled a bit longer. Stupid anyway...never saw anyone so blasé about being told their telly been robbed. Ah right so ...you'll replace it ..grand.

I'm sick of the Hayley and baby storyline

Do Jay and Billy still run the undertaker that Les owned? Is Alfie touting for business on their patch, in which case wouldn't they run him out of there?

I didn't really pay attention to what Alfie was on about in the cafe because he annoys me, but if he was seriously selling himself as an undertaker it's a bit ridiculous when there's already one
