There was a strong reaction to that massive character return in Peaky Blinders

Rudi Kinsella

He’s back.

Before we get into it, we are warning you that if you haven’t seen most recent episode of Peaky Blinders, consider this to be your spoiler alert warning.

Last chance…

Okay.

We will now proceed.

Alfie Solomons is back!

That’s right, Tom Hardy’s character is not dead, and he is back on our TV screens.

As you probably remember, the last time we saw Alfie was during that fateful meeting at Margate Beach when Tommy shot him after the Jewish gangster betrayed the Peaky Blinders by aligning with Luca Changretta.

Most people assumed he died as a result of the shooting, but as we discussed in more detail here, he survived!

He made his return on Sunday night’s season finale, and he hasn’t changed a bit.

It’s good to have him back. Can anyone on earth say the word “c**t” and make it sound so terrifying/funny?

And what did he say on his return? “I was on an awful lot of drugs in the beginning due to being shot in the face by a c**t.”

Perfect.

As you could probably imagine, fans on social media FLIPPED OUT when he showed up on our screens:

And for anyone that’s been missing Alfie, we suggest taking this quiz about the great man.
