Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) was left in tears in recent EastEnders scenes as he relayed the results of his prostate cancer tests to former flame Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace).<\/p>\n
Up until tonight\u2019s (September 11) episode, the only person to have known about Alfie\u2019s cancer scare was Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Kat\u2019s other half.<\/p>\n
This secret had allowed them to grow closer, sparking suspicion for oblivious Kat.<\/p>\n
After learning from son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) that Alfie and Phil had been taking him to Boxing Den, Kat confronted Alfie about what was really going on.<\/p>\n
It was then that Alfie was forced to confess that Tommy had lashed out at him, and the boxing training had been an attempt to positively channel his emotions.<\/p>\n

Upset that she was being kept in the dark over matters that involved her son, Kat confronted Phil, who got the wrong end of the stick about her conversation with Alfie.<\/p>\n
He assumed that she was talking about Alfie\u2019s upcoming tests, and, unaware that she was still in the dark, let slip about his cancer scare.<\/p>\n
Kat demanded to know everything, and Phil had no choice to but to tell her everything.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that she was due to look round a wedding venue with her husband-to-be, she demanded that he cancel it, before heading off to look for Alfie.<\/p>\n

Poor Alfie was absolutely terrified about his appointment, and made up excuses not to go.<\/p>\n
However, when Kat found him in the Queen Vic, she insisted that he couldn\u2019t miss it, and pointed out that he would get through it, with her by his side if he needed.<\/p>\n
The pair were soon joined by Phil, and together the trio headed to the hospital for Alfie\u2019s results.<\/p>\n
Though Kat remained upbeat for him, as soon as Alfie headed into his appointment, her bravado slipped, as she wondered what life would be like without Alfie.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before Alfie emerged from the doctor\u2019s office, and it was instantly clear that he had been crying.<\/p>\n
However, he quickly announced that he had got the all clear, as Kat rushed to embrace him.<\/p>\n
Were Alfie\u2019s tears really just tears of relief, or is he hiding something?<\/p>\n
