Beloved EastEnders character makes long-awaited comeback, but not without a significant physical ailment.

Kat Slater had recently returned to Albert Square after taking some time away to spend with her sisters, Little Mo and Lynne. The break was much needed and she had been enjoying some quality time with her family at their nan's beachside caravan. However, her return was not without some drama as she arrived on crutches, nursing an unexpected injury.

It turns out that Kat had a little too much fun during her time away and had ended up drunkenly falling over and injuring her ankle on the beach. Her ex-husband, Alfie Moon, explained to their friend Harvey Munroe what had happened, while Kat sheepishly admitted that she may have had one too many vodka tonics.

But things were about to take a dark turn for Kat as she becomes embroiled in a child-to-parent abuse storyline. Before her break, viewers had seen her son Tommy physically attack her, displaying worrying and violent behavior. Things escalated when Tommy called social services on his own mother, threatening to tear their family apart.

Although Tommy eventually confessed to the police that he had lied, the damage had already been done. And as it was announced earlier this summer, the storyline will continue to explore how Tommy manipulates his mother's love for him to control and dominate her.

Chris Clenshaw, executive producer of EastEnders, shared that the performances of Jessie and Sonny have been thoughtfully portraying the complex realities of child-to-parent abuse with compassion and understanding. The storyline will delve into how Tommy's behavior affects their relationship and the wider Slater-Moon family.

The show airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and is also available on BBC iPlayer. If you have any soap or TV stories, videos or pictures, feel free to get in touch with us via email.
