EastEnders fans believe they have “worked out” who will be the next owner of the iconic Queen Victoria pub as they prepare for Mick Carter’s upcoming BBC exit.
Over the past six months, the pub landlord (played by Danny Dyer) and his wife Linda Carter (Kelly Bright) have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions after their marriage was pushed to the limits shortly after their son Ollie was diagnosed with autism.
The fan-favourite couple found themselves spiralling out of control after the loving mother struggled to find answers to their problems at the bottom of a bottle while her husband buckled under the pressure with a slew of serious panic attacks.

In an attempt to save their marriage from complete destruction, the beloved dad decided his family and his relationship was more important than the Queen Vic in an effort to rebuild their lives for the better.

The telly favourite has been pulling pints behind the bar ever since he joined the soap back in 2013, but as BBC bosses build up to his heartbreaking exit, fans can’t help but wonder who will step into Mick’s shoes as the new owner of the legendary pub.
With just months left on the BBC soap, viewers are all saying the same thing as to whose name will be above the door following his exit.
After watching the latest instalment of the TV show, one user took to Facebook to share their theory as to which familiar face will take over the throne – and who better to take the reins than a previous owner?

They wrote: “We know that Mick Carter is on his way out, so if the pub doesn’t stay in the Carter family’s hands, who will take over?
“Maybe Alfie Moon could come back with a few quid under his belt and buy the pub to try and win Kat back. Whatever happens, it’s going to be interesting.”
Alfie Moon (played by Shane Richie) previously owned the pub back in 2010 alongside his then wife Kat but he was only the legal owner for a matter of months before Phil Mitchell and his mother Peggy took over.

Fans of the show soon flooded to the comments where they shared their thoughts on the return of the cheeky chap with many agreeing he would be a good fit behind the bar.
One user penned: “A lot of people are saying that’s why they’re bringing him back, so they can break Kat and Phil up and get Kat and Alfie running the Vic.”
Another agreed, asking: “Isn’t Alfie coming back soon? It wouldn’t surprise me if they gave it to him.”
I third penned: “#EastEnders I think it’s time for @realshanerichie to come back as Alfie and run the Queen Vic!” as a fourth fan echoed: “I want Alfie Moon to return to take over the Queen Vic again #Eastenders.”
