EastEnders Tommy Moon's fate 'sealed' as fans 'work out' devastating exit twist

EastEnders fans are convinced that Tommy Moon is on the brink of being sectioned following his escalating violent behaviour.

In Wednesday's episode (October 23), viewers witnessed the aftermath of Tommy Moon's (portrayed by Sonny Kendall) altercation with Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), which saw him scald Freddie with hot soup.

An urgent family meeting was called by the Slaters, during which Freddie, sporting a bandaged forearm, recounted how Tommy had lashed out. This led to growing concern from Jean (Gillian Wright) and Alfie (Shane Richie) about the teenager's mood swings.

Although Kat (Jessie Wallace) received some support, the anxious mother attempted to justify her son's actions as a passing phase.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Tommy yelled at his twin brothers Bert and Ernie, leading to the revelation that he was not only abusing his mother but also his siblings, reports the Daily Star.

Faced with the harsh reality of Tommy's violence, a frightened Kat abandoned her attempts to confront him about his abusive behaviour, instead awkwardly asking him about his dinner preferences.

Jean found it difficult to handle Tommy and, after a conversation with Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), she decided to seek professional help.

The episode concluded with Jean contacting social services. But what does the future hold for Tommy?

Speculation among EastEnders viewers quickly spread on social media, with many predicting that Tommy will be removed from Kat's care and sectioned.

Viewers took to social media with concern for a character's wellbeing on the popular soap, with one person commenting: "Could Tommy get sectioned? #EastEnders", while another insisted: "Tommy needs to get sectioned NOW! ! ! #EastEnders."
