Catching up on last nights Eastenders, now I've never had an issue with Aflie and I know there is a fair bit of hate for him on here but the whole constant skeme to be this amazing 'East End trader' just makes me majorly cringe! Starting to think the character has run it's course again.
Anyone agree?

He is meant to be a fairly intelligent man, seriously, who would a) spend their LAST £70 on ice cream that he hasnt even looked at - from Fat Elvis of all people
its just ridiculous - he has become a baffoon of the greatest proportions
What sort of business would Alfie be good at? Perhaps they need to diagnose him with alzeimers and make it a long running realistic story for him & Kat.
He has the business brain of a toddler!!!
As for trying to break into Aleks laptop, who does he think he is?
Personally, I didn't mind it. A silly decision but that's Alfie. I found him much more cringeworthy back in the day when he was chasing after his sister in law.
Ian should employ him in the café, of Max could take him on in the car lot. He could do his cheeky chappie routine without having to make big decisions.
Or maybe he could buy Terry's taxi when he leaves, as long as he does it by the book and gets his licence.
it cant be that toddler like - he ran a pub fairly successfully..............
But he was always late with his rent payments to Phil.
He wasn't successful. He never had the rent and when he did have it he gambled it away. He would but job lots of strange booze etc. Any money he did make was from stealing, fencing stolen goods or storing loot for Derek. The man is a hopeless businessman.
That's a good suggestion, I'm not even sure the set is still there, it would be a much better solution for him to have a job like that and not have theses tedious money problems every episode, I never understood the point of them giving him the burger van and taking it away.
They use to use the bookies quite a lot back in 2009/10 when Glenda and Carol worked there.
He must have had the rent or he wouldn't have managed the Vic for so long.
The market itself is missing a trick - EastEnders could use it as a source of bringing characters together, like Corrie have the factory & "factory girls" - EastEnders could use the market in a similar style, with more cast out there interacting instead of the same extras buying the same stuff from the same stalls - Alfie's ice cream last night - who was he shouting at to buy...there was about 5 customers browsing the market, the rest was fellow traders!
I can't see Alfie evet getting a proper job (i doubt he's EVER even had one), what would he do apart from bartender or car dealer and who would employ him with his criminal record and at his age?
I feel as if i'm slowly watching his character dying, not physically but like a slow deconstruction of his character, like he's drowning in a sea of random story lines where he's making stupid decisions and doing stupid stuff like driving a cab without a licence and not calling an ambulance for Kat when she had a twinge last week.
And as for calling them babies Bert and Ernie....words fail me!
Come on, DTC give the script writers a kick up the arse and tell them to write him some decent story lines.
