EastEnders' Linda Carter will face more heartbreak as she returns to Walford next week.
Linda took some time away from the Square over the festive season following the devastating events of Christmas Day.
With Linda still away, Alfie will come up with the idea to get the pub back up and running again in her absence.
Alfie has an ulterior motive for this, as he's also concerned about the Slater family's mounting money problems.
Although Alfie looks for work, he gets knocked back by Kat on the cabs and Kim at The Albert.

After hearing Denise has keys for The Vic, Alfie gets Patrick to help him swipe them, as he's going to reopen the pub to help Linda.
Denise is later concerned to discover The Vic full of customers and Alfie behind the bar.
Alfie insists he's doing this for Linda, but Denise isn't happy and berates him for his actions.
She is left even more furious when Mitch lets slip that Patrick has been handing out free drinks and demands they get everyone to pay up.
Alfie then hits upon another idea of throwing a summer party to banish the January blues and get the tills ringing.
However, when Kim tells Sharon that The Vic is open, she makes a call.
Things are going brilliantly in the bar, and Alfie thinks he's hit the jackpot until a horrified Linda bursts in.
Sharon takes Annie and Ollie back to hers as a distraught Linda accuses Alfie and the rest of their neighbours of not caring that Mick is dead.
Wanting to make amends, Alfie later gather Mick's friends to surprise Linda with a vigil in the bar for her lost love – until the police arrive with an update. What is it?
