The latest EastEnders episodes have left fans buzzing with suspense, as Alfie Moon’s desperate plea for money raises more questions than answers. After weeks of searching for his missing stepdaughter, Zoe Slater, Alfie contacts Stacey Slater for a huge sum of £50,000, claiming it’s needed to help Zoe out of a dangerous situation. But is Alfie really telling the truth, or is he the latest victim in a long-running con?

Alfie’s Desperate Plea

In Monday’s episode, Stacey is shocked when Alfie calls, claiming to have information on Zoe’s whereabouts. But there’s a twist: Zoe owes money to some dangerous people, and Alfie insists that without the £50,000, Zoe could be in serious trouble. Stacey is horrified by the news and demands answers, wanting to know exactly what Alfie knows about Zoe’s situation. As the conversation intensifies, Alfie becomes increasingly frantic, telling Stacey that if she doesn’t help, Zoe might be lost forever.

But there’s a problem. Zoe has a history of deception, having previously tried to scam the family out of money. Fans quickly began to suspect that Alfie might be the victim of yet another con, with many pointing to Zoe as the mastermind behind this latest demand for cash. Could Zoe be manipulating Alfie into getting the money for herself, just as she did with Jean Slater not too long ago?

The Family Struggles

As the tension builds, Stacey faces a heartbreaking dilemma. She originally agreed to use the £50,000 life insurance money from her late ex-husband Martin Fowler to help Kat Moon buy The Queen Vic. However, after Alfie’s phone call, Stacey changes her mind and tells Kat she can no longer give her the money. Kat is furious, and Stacey is left torn between her loyalty to her cousin and her fear that giving Alfie the money would put them all in danger.

Stacey doesn’t fully reveal why she has changed her mind, instead letting Jean believe that the money is needed to help another family member, Hayley Slater. Stacey begs her mother to stop digging into the situation, but it’s clear that something is being hidden from Kat. As Jean grows suspicious of Stacey’s change of heart, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.

Fans’ Theories on the Scam

Viewers at home are quick to notice the signs that Alfie might be getting scammed. Many fans remember how Zoe previously lied to Stacey and caused financial turmoil in the family by running up a massive credit card debt. With Zoe’s track record of deceit, it seems plausible that she might be behind this latest con.

One fan commented, “I think Alfie may have got scammed/set up for getting conned by Zoe or messed with the wrong people himself. Remember Zoe also lied/stole from Stacey and ran up a massive credit card debt. Jean may have just saved Stacey and Alfie from making a bad decision.” Another viewer agreed, saying, “Alfie brainless as ever thinking that giving some random thugs £50k in euros to find a missing Zoe.”

What’s Next for Alfie and Stacey?

As the pressure mounts, Stacey is left wondering whether Alfie is truly in danger or if he’s just another pawn in Zoe’s web of lies. Will she eventually give in to Alfie’s plea for money, or will she uncover the truth behind Zoe’s manipulations? With family loyalty, deception, and danger lurking around every corner, EastEnders fans are in for a wild ride in the coming weeks.

Could Zoe be playing the ultimate game, or is Alfie genuinely trying to protect Zoe from harm? Will Stacey’s refusal to give up the money be the turning point in this increasingly tense storyline? The truth may soon come to light, and fans can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.
