Fans of the soap were not impressed.
Alfie Moon left EastEnders fans furious last night when they noticed a glaring error with his exit.
The former landlord of the Queen Vic left Albert Square with his baby daughter, Cherry, last night as he tried to escape the wrath of the Slaters.
He first did a runner with his baby daughter over the holidays, but since agreed to return the little girl to her mum, Hayley.
He had initially promised to bring the newborn back to the house first thing, but his estranged wife, Kat, agreed to postpone it until 5.30pm.
After spotting his boys in the Square, Alfie soon changed his mind and decided he was going to head off with Cherry – convinced that Hayley would never let him have a relationship with his daughter.
He shared his plans with Ian, before bundling up Cherry and putting her in the car. As he got into the front seat of the car, he told her: “It’s out only choice, girl.”
But eagle-eyed EastEnders fans had one big issue with his exit: how he put baby Cherry in the backseat of the car.
Namely, that he didn’t secure the car seat – but then, somehow, Cherry was strapped in safely (and in the front of the car) in the next scene.
Did anyone notice that in #eastenders Alfie did not secure the baby’s car seat in the car????

Alfie puts cot on back seat, walks around to driver's seat & baby is miraculously seat belted in…not by Alfie. #eastenders

Many other fans took issue with the fact that Alfie walked away from his three sons, who stayed behind in Walford.
Absolutely gone off Alfie!! Doing a runner with the baby he did not want in the first place & abandoning his sons!! Selfish sod!! #EastEnders

Alfie has now forgotten all about his three sons. Liar cheat thief kidnapper and terrible excuse for a father. The lovable rogue is long gone #EastEnders

And when did Alfie get cherry’s baby passport? And he’s just walked away from his 3 boys. Ridiculous storyline #Eastenders

What a great dad Alfie is. Leaving behind his three boys and being like ‘well, the boys are the boys, they’ll be fine!’ #EastEnders

Again what are the writers of #EastEnders thinking about? Alfie has become so out of character! Why would he leave his 3 boys??! Rediculus 🤦🏻♂️
