EastEnders’ Alfie Moon will vow to help Kat Slater with their son Tommy’s bad behaviour, in upcoming

scenes.

This month, both Kat and Alfie have been struggling to parent Tommy, with the teenager shoplifting,

skipping school to train at the gym, and being rude to Yolande.

Tommy was hurt that Phil didn’t come to his last boxing match, and this week, viewers have seen Tommy suggesting to Phil that he get back together with Kat so they can be a family again.

The situation will escalate further this week when Kat discovers Tommy’s meddling, and he ends up in a huge argument with his mum.

In scenes that will air next week, the difficult times are set to continue, with Kat finding herself at her wits’ end with Tommy’s behaviour.

Alfie wants to lend a hand and suggests that Kat take a holiday and a well-deserved break, offering to look after the kids in the meantime.

But Kat is reluctant, and feels she needs to remain in Walford to handle Tommy during this tricky period.

Her help is soon needed when Tommy is rough with the twins, and Kat is forced to step in to support Bert and Ernie.

Concerned about what the future holds, Kat opens up to Alfie about her fears for Tommy, and he vows to help his ex-wife.

Alfie decides to try a different tactic with Tommy and takes a firm approach in disciplining his son.

When Kat arrives home later Tommy plays nice with his parents, and Alfie is pleased to have seemingly made progress.

Later in the week, Alfie attempts to reach out to Tommy again and decides to host a mini-Olympics in the Square for Walford’s youngsters.

But Tommy is reluctant to take part, and he only agrees to participate when Alfie reveals that he is offering a cash prize to the winner.

Will this mark a turning point for Tommy and has Alfie got through to his son?
