ONE short moment in Peggy's led Phil Mitchell to cheat on Kat Slater with Emma Harding.
The EastEnders tough man played by Steve McFadden struggles to cope with his guilt next week. What will he do?
BBC One viewers have been suspecting Alfie Moon will be leaving Albert Square after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Just as speculated by fans of the London-based program, the long-standing character portrayed by Shane Richie is indeed due for an impromptu departure after undergoing surgery.
It all begins as his son Tommy Moon (played by Sonny Kendall) gets ready for his debut fight after turning to boxing in the midst of a behavioural crisis which showed him lashing out physically once again.
However, the young lad is fretting about Alfie turning up to watch.

This remains to be seen but Phil later returns home and frets about breaking the news to Tommy, unaware that he's overheard it all.
Angry and hurt, Tommy lashes out at Phil and calls him a liar.
In later scenes, Phil asks Vic resident and former boxing star George Knight (Colin Salmon) to give Tommy boxing lessons.
Kat (Jessie Wallace) tries to reassure Tommy that Alfie will be back, but having been hurt so many times before, the youngster doesn't believe her.
As viewers may suspect, Phil is doing whatever he can to distract himself from the guilt of his infidelity.
But will Kat ever find out what Phil has done behind her back?
Or will he be able to keep it all under wraps?
