EastEnders fans all have the same complaint about Alfie Moon’s tribute to Mick Carter
EASTENDERS fans were left fuming after Alfie Moon's speech about Mick Carter's death.
In recent scenes, Alfie (Shane Richie) snuck into The Vic after stealing the keys from Denise Fox (Diane Parish).
He opens up the Queen Vic in a bid to keep the business going and with the hope Linda (Kellie Bright) will offer him a job as a thank you.
But when Linda arrives home, she furiously hits out at her neighbours for having a good time.
She accuses them of not caring that Mick (Danny Dyer) is dead and throws them all out.
Later, Alfie gathers the landlord’s friends in The Vic and surprises Linda with a vigil in his honour.
Mick’s friends and family reflect on their relationships with the beloved member of the community.
However, the vigil is not as touching as it should have been as viewers question why Alfie is giving the speech.
With Alfie just meeting Mick when he returned to Walford this autumn, fans think there were other residents much closer to Mick who should have said a few words instead.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Why was Alfie the one to give the speech for Mick? He didn't even know him #eastenders."

Another wrote: "Why was Alfie speaking about Mick like he knew him? Linda or Mitch or Callum should have spoken instead #Eastenders."
A third penned: "Not Alfie making Mick’s death about himself #EastEnders."
However, some fans think Alfie and Linda will get together.
Recent scenes see Alfie comfort Linda and being a shoulder to cry on.
He has also given up on chasing his ex-wife Kat Slater, who repeatedly chose Phil over him.
Could it be the start of a budding new romance for Alfie and Linda?
One viewer tweeted: "Alfie and Linda will definitely get together."
Another commented: "Calling it now, Linda and Alfie will get together."
EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw revealed Linda will be part of a new major storyline that's never been done in soap before.
He told the press: “Linda is still very much at the heart of Albert Square and it's so great to have Kellie.
“She's not going to go over Mick very quickly. She was just reunited with him and then obviously he was snatched away from her so it won't be all smiles straight away.
“But there are big plans for Linda. [Linda] is going to shoot something which goes out just after our anniversary in February.
“It's something that we as a show have not done before and Linda is at the centre of it.
“There's a question mark over the future of The Vic at the moment.

“Kellie knows what's happening, we know what's happening with The Vic and it's very exciting.”
