EastEnders viewers are absolutely buzzing after the latest jaw-dropping drama surrounding Alfie Moon and Zoe Slater. The beloved Alfie is once again caught in a web of lies and deceit— but this time, fans are questioning if he’s been scammed by someone he knows all too well. Could it be Zoe pulling the strings behind the scenes again? Let’s break down the explosive details.

💸 Alfie’s Desperate Plea for Cash

It all started with a shocking call from Alfie Moon to Stacey Slater, begging for £50,000 in cash. Stacey, who had recently received a life insurance payout from her late ex-husband Martin Fowler, was taken aback when Alfie claimed that the money was desperately needed to save Zoe Slater. The twist? Alfie was still searching for Zoe and was under intense pressure from mysterious men demanding the money—money that would supposedly help find Zoe, who was in danger.

But not everything is as it seems, and fans were quick to pick up on the red flags.

🤔 Fans Suspect a Scam

The moment Alfie asked Stacey for such a large sum of money, fans immediately began speculating that he was being scammed—and it wasn’t just by strangers. Could Zoe Slater herself be the one pulling the strings? Zoe has a history of conning her family out of money, and fans think this could be another elaborate scheme. One viewer even commented: “I think Alfie may have got scammed/set up for getting conned by Zoe or messed with the wrong people himself.”

It seems plausible, given Zoe’s past. She’s tricked Stacey before, leaving her with credit card debts and causing tension within the family. Could she be using the same tactics on Alfie now, hiding behind a story about dangerous thugs? Some fans are even wondering if Zoe had scammed Jean Slater recently when she tricked her into transferring her savings. Could Zoe have concocted this latest story to scam Alfie out of the £50k?

💔 Stacey’s Inner Struggle

Stacey, always loyal to her family, was put in a difficult position. She didn’t want to betray Kat Moon, her cousin, who was hoping for the £50k to bid on The Queen Vic pub. But Alfie’s frantic call left Stacey feeling torn, especially as she realized something was off.

Despite Alfie’s manipulative tactics, Stacey ultimately made the tough decision to not give him the money. After a heated conversation with her mother Jean Slater, where they both agreed something wasn’t right, Stacey chose not to help Alfie. This decision didn’t come lightly, as it meant disappointing Kat and potentially facing consequences for not providing the funds for the pub.

🔍 Did Jean Just Save the Day?

Jean Slater’s intervention might just have been the turning point. The savvy matriarch had a feeling something wasn’t right from the start, and when she pieced together that Stacey was hiding something, she confronted her. Jean quickly realized that the story about Zoe might be a cover-up for a much bigger scam, and she subtly convinced Stacey not to go through with it.

While Stacey lied to Jean, claiming the money was meant for someone else, Jean could see through the facade and ultimately, she saved her daughter from making a decision that could have had catastrophic consequences.

💡 What’s Next for Alfie?

As drama continues to unfold, Alfie’s desperation has left fans wondering how far he’ll go to maintain his manipulation. Could he double down on his lies and continue to pressure Stacey for money? Or will he face the consequences of being conned himself? Either way, this story is far from over, and we’re on the edge of our seats waiting to see if Alfie gets to the truth—or if Zoe will keep playing the long game.
