The final day in Walford arrives for Kat and Alfie but Alfie will be leaving the soap with a shocking secret as yesterday he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It is not yet known if the tumor on his brain is benign or malignant.
Despite being told that any delay could cause the tumor to grow, he decided to ignore the situation so he could give his wife Kat the happy ending she has always wanted.
Shane Richie, who plays Alfie, had first teased the storyline last week - warning that his character would leave Albert Square with a dark secret.
Speaking at the time, he explained: "It's just the biggest curveball I think Alfie has ever been thrown in his 13 years that I've been there. I've told very few people about it at the moment, but it is a major, major, curveball. It will be interesting to see the reaction.
"Just when you think they're finding happiness, something like this happens. The audience will know, but no-one else will."
Kat and Alfie are taking a break from EastEnders as they will be starring in their own six-part spinoff series for BBC One, which will be set in Ireland.
EastEnders airs the couple's temporary departure tonight (May 22) at 8pm on BBC One.
