EastEnders spoilers follow.
Tommy Moon will continue to struggle following Alfie Moon’s temporary departure in EastEnders.
Alfie recently left the Square for a two-week management training course in Birmingham before taking over as the new manager of the Minute Mart.
Kat Slater convinced Alfie to go for the training course, despite his concerns about leaving Tommy alone with his mother. The two have clashed this year, with Tommy even punching Kat during one row.
In scenes airing next week, Kat tries to hold the family together in Alfie’s absence. Tommy is shown brooding once again since Alfie will miss their football plans.
Kat assures Tommy that Alfie isn’t intentionally slighting him — he’s simply trying to make the best of the job opportunity Tommy encouraged him to go for.
With money tight at the Moon house, Tommy resorts to trying to steal from the café, though he’s caught in the act by Kathy Beale. An angry Kathy later scolds Kat and suggests she have a stern word with her son.
Kat gently tries to approach the subject with Tommy, but he reacts badly and once again tries to physically intimidate his mother.
Tommy continues to cause trouble during celebrations for Jay Brown’s 30th birthday, where Jay receives another video message recorded by his late wife Lola before her death.
Tommy ruins the celebratory mood, causing yet more problems for his mother. Phil Mitchell is shocked to see Tommy’s vicious response when Kat begs him to keep the noise down.
The situation escalates further when Kat tries once again to talk to Tommy about stealing from the café. An angry Tommy goes to leave, leading Kat to physically restrain him.
Will the situation escalate further?
These scenes air on Monday, October 7.
EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
