Heart-Wrenching Revelation: Kat Exposes Abuse in EastEnders – Will Alfie Step Up to Save Her?

A suspicious Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) finally discovers the truth about Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) ordeal in EastEnders next week.

Recently in the BBC One soap, Kat has been subjected to abuse by son Tommy (Sonny Kendall). The beloved character has kept the ordeal a secret though, terrified of what may happen to her young son if his horrific behaviour was revealed.

Next week, Alfie arrives home early from Birmingham. This leaves Kat startled, as she’s forced to try and hide an injury.

Fortunately though, Alfie spots the bruise and questions Kat, but she lies and says it came from a boozy night out with Stacey (Lacey Turner).

This lie doesn’t last long, however, as Alfie chats to Stacey in the pub and realises Kat isn’t being entirely honest with him. Just as he returns to the flat, Kat is inside having a go at Tommy for using her credit card without permission.

As they argue, Alfie listens in and proceeds to demand answers.

The next day, after being questioned by Alfie, Kat finally admits that Tommy injured her.

That evening at the flat, the Moons and Freddie (Bobby Brazier) sit down for a meal, but it isn’t long before chaos descends after an altercation between Tommy and Freddie escalates.

The next morning, Kat and Alfie are reeling from a night of carnage, but Kat continues to make excuses for Tommy’s behaviour.

Meanwhile, at Number 31, Jean (Gillian Wright) begins to suspect that Freddie is keeping as secret for Kat, but will she find out what’s been going on?
