Peaky Blinders fans are convinced that Alfie Solomons will make a comeback in scenes due to air tonight, despite having been killed off in series four.
A trailer for the upcoming episode teased that Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) will visit an old friend and audiences are keeping their fingers and toes crossed that the familiar face is Tom Hardys infamous character.
We last saw Alfie in the previous season when he was killed off by Tommy during a dramatic showdown on the beach after revealing he was dying of cancer.

Before being murdered, Alfie shot Tommy in an attempt to get him to put him out of his misery with Tommy finally pulling the trigger and causing him to die from his injuries to his face.
However, viewers have sneaking suspicions theyve not seen the last of Alfie just yet.
Sharing their predictions of Alfies reappearance tonight, one fan wrote on Twitter: Long trailer… big tease for Sunday! It has got to be Alfie! Who else would it be? Tommy doesnt have many friends.
Meanwhile, another hoped: Wouldnt it be great it Alfie Solomon popped up in tonights Peaky Blinders?
Creator Steven Knight has dropped some heavy hints that we could just be seeing Alfie again – which given Hardys popularity wouldnt surprise us.
When asked by the Birmingham Mail last year if Alfie is really dead, Steven simply gave a one-word answer and said: Pass.
It was recently revealed that the idea of Alfies shock exit was conjured up just two days before Tom and Cillian filmed the scenes.
During an appearance on BBC Sounds Obsessed With Peaky Blinders podcast, director David Caffrey confessed: We had a tiny little window with Tom about. We did the stuff at the beer barrels in Liverpool and then we were about to go to the beach.
But that [shooting between Alfie and Tommy] hadnt been written. Steve had just come up with that two days beforehand. We hadnt recced it, hadnt looked at it and so I literally went through a 24 – 36 hour period of, “We need to organise the tides correct”.
