Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallce) concerns about son Tommy’s (Sonny Kendall) behaviour look set to continue in EastEnders next week, as he lashes out at a beloved local.
The youngster is continuing to go off the rails, as he struggles to cope with former step-dad Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) apparent abandonment.
Phil had built a close bond with Tommy during his and Kat’s time as a couple, but since they split earlier this year, he has voiced how he feels hurt Phil no longer seems interested in him.Kat and
ex-husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) were upset to hear their son admit this, but his anguish later manifested in him shoplifting from the Minute Mart last week, which was caught on camera.
Tommy’s behaviour continues to worsen in forthcoming scenes, as he is rude to Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) outside the laundrette.
Their exchange is witnessed by George Knight (Colin Salmon), who is outraged by Tommy’s words, and later berates him in The Vic in front of Kat.
Kat grounds Tommy on the spot, before leaving the pub – but given Tommy’s previous behaviour, is the young lad on a downward spiral? And will Kat reach out to ex Phil to help?
