Shane Richie's character is diagnosed with prostate cancer in a script devised to raise awareness.
A new EastEnders storyline will see Alfie Moon diagnosed with prostate cancer after writers worked with charities to put an "authentic story" about the disease on screen.
Writers consulted Prostate Cancer UK, Macmillan Cancer Support and other experts in the field while producing the plot, while Richie met a man affected by the illness to give him the "opportunity to understand what it's like to experience the disease first-hand". "We hope that this storyline resonates with the audience, and that we represent it as sensitively, and as accurately, as possible."
