EastEnders Poised for Spencer Moon Return under Ben Wadey’s Leadership
Ben Wadey’s award-fuelled revamp sets the stage for nostalgic character comebacks.
Overview
- Shane Ritchie, who has played Alfie Moon for more than 20 years, told The Mirror he would welcome the return of his on-screen brother Spencer Moon.
- Christopher Parker, Spencer’s original portrayer, left EastEnders in 2005 to retrain as a lawyer and now splits his time between London and Los Angeles.
- Michelle Ryan is confirmed to reprise her role as Zoe Slater later in 2025 as part of producer Ben Wadey’s fresh story arcs.
- EastEnders marked its 40th anniversary and secured eight wins at the British Soap Awards, reinforcing Wadey’s vision for new developments.
- Recent guest spots by legacy characters such as Jake Moon signal a deliberate strategy to reconnect with the show’s early 2000s storylines.
