In a shocking turn of events on EastEnders, Alfie Moon faces a significant setback as he loses his job at the bookies. This loss comes
after he has been dealing with his treatment for prostate cancer and the troubling behavior of his adopted son, Tommy Moon.
Next week, viewers will witness the ongoing struggles between Alfie, his ex-wife Kat Mitchell, and their son Tommy, who has already
displayed violent tendencies by punching Kat in the stomach during a confrontation regarding her ex, Phil Mitchell. This conflict
escalates when Tommy skips school, prompting Kat to criticize Alfie for not properly disciplining him.
In a bid to connect with Tommy, Alfie decides to close the bookies early to take him out for a heart-to-heart at the café. Unfortunately, this decision leads to his termination when his bosses discover the early closure.
As Alfie contemplates his next steps to provide for his family, Tommy surprisingly steps up by finding a job listing for the manager position at the Minute Mart. While Kat encourages Alfie to pursue this opportunity, she remains unaware that this decision could have significant consequences for her, particularly in light of Tommy’s manipulative behavior.
The storyline will also delve into serious themes of child-to-parent abuse, showcasing how Tommy uses his mother’s love to control her. This complex narrative has been praised for its compassionate portrayal of the issue, highlighting its profound impact on the Slater and Moon families.
