The actor played Jewish gang leader Alfie Solomons from series two to series four, when he was apparently shot and killed. But last week Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) hinted that Alfie might not be dead after all, and it was confirmed on Sunday when he appeared. Alfie, now sporting a large scar on his face from being shot, returned to the BBC drama as Tommy sought some help dealing with Oswald Mosley. Fans were thrilled to see the character return. “Alfie is Alive!!! Maybe dreams do come true!” one posted on Twitter. Alfie is Alive!!!
