EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has revealed that Tommy Moon’s big storyline will finally be revisited next week.
Tommy has been living away from his family since October, as he was deemed a threat to his younger brothers Bert and Ernie.
The troubled teenager went to live with Zack Hudson, who’s a qualified foster carer, but his story has largely been on the back burner ever since.
EastEnders has been exploring abuse within a family, as Tommy has been violent towards his mum Kat and has also been hurting his siblings.
Next week, Kat and Alfie are pleased as they see glimpses of the old Tommy returning.
Tommy steps up to help a friend in need following the recent traumatic events in Walford. He partly credits a friend he has made online, who suggested the idea of a support group.
Alfie and Tommy then come together to host a lads’ night for their struggling neighbour.
Later in the week, social worker Lesley visits Tommy’s family to announce that he can finally come home.
Although Kat and Alfie are pleased with the news, they’re under no illusions over challenges they could face once Tommy is back.
As Tommy settles back into the flat, one of his first priorities is to go online and talk to his mystery internet friend.
Kat breaks the news that she got rid of Tommy’s games console, but she promises to get him a new one as soon as possible.
Later in the week, Kat finds it hard to contain her emotions as she’s on edge over the possibility of further outbursts from Tommy.

Kat jumps to conclusions when Alfie returns from a kickabout with Tommy and is visibly injured.
She also despairs when a row breaks out over the games console situation, which sees Tommy lose his cool. Is he already falling back into old traps?
EastEnders airs these scenes in the week commencing Monday, March 3 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
