EastEnders' Jean Slater takes action against Tommy in early iPlayer release
Warning: Contains spoilers for today's EastEnders, airing on iPlayer and BBC One.
There was upsetting scenes in today's EastEnders (23rd October 2024) when Tommy Moon's (played by Sonny Kendall) behaviour spiralled out of control again.
After lashing out at Freddie (Bobby Brazier), Jean (Gillian Wright) and Alfie (Shane Richie) started to get really concerned about Tommy's mood and offered some support to Kat (Jessie Wallace).
Kat seemed to be lost in the situation, concealing her concern about Tommy and explaining it's just a phase he's going through.
But Alfie and Jean weren't too sure, and when they headed back to the apartment, they overheard Tommy screaming at Bert and Ernie, who were cowering on the sofa.

Alfie tried to be authoritative in the situation but Tommy stormed out of the room, not listening to him.
Jean comforted the children, asking to see where Tommy hurt them so she could make it better, but she was disturbed to see an arm full of bruises, presumably from Tommy.
Jean held the children in tight while Alfie considered what to do.
He, of course, had to speak to Kat about it all, but she insisted she didn't want to hear anything from her ex and proudly pushed him out.
But when alone with Tommy, the fear on Kat's face was palpable as she considered how to move now.
Little did she know, the decision was taken out of her hands by Jean, who was seen at the end of the episode on the phone to social services.
What will happen to Tommy? And how will Kat react when she discovers what Jean's done?
