Tommy Moon's behavior towards his mom, Kat Slater, and their family dynamic has become unmanageable on EastEnders. The situation escalated when he made up a false story about Kat wanting her ex-husband Phil back, giving him false hope. This led to Kat ordering Tommy to come home, where he ended up punching her in the stomach and she retaliated by pushing him to the ground.
In the aftermath, Kat struggled with whether or not to tell her other ex, Alfie Moon, about what had happened. Unfortunately, this gave Tommy the opportunity to report her to the police for child abuse. Alfie finally learned the full extent of his son's behavior when he noticed Kat nursing a black eye. Tommy promised to change his ways, but during dinner, he lost his temper and ended up trashing the living room. He then turned on his cousin Freddie Slater, pouring hot soup on his arm before pushing Kat and Alfie away and storming out.
But as Alfie is only Tommy's adoptive father, the question arises: where is his birth dad? All the answers can be found at the Agency. Tommy's birth father is none other than Michael Moon, who joined the show in October 2010 and happens to be Alfie's second cousin once removed.
Michael and Kat had a brief fling while she was still married to Alfie. During their first marriage, Alfie was sent to prison for six months for property fraud, and during that time, Kat slept with Michael and became pregnant. Tragically, just days after Tommy was born, Ronnie Mitchell discovered that her own son, James, who was born on the same day, had died of sudden infant death syndrome. In a panic, she switched the babies and raised Tommy as her own. Kat had her doubts when she saw James in the hospital, but Alfie convinced her that he just looked different because he had passed away. Alfie agreed to raise Tommy as his own son.
After the truth came out, Kat struggled to bond with her son, but Alfie agreed to give their marriage another chance and vowed to raise Tommy. With Michael not wanting any involvement in his life, Alfie adopted Tommy and put his name on his birth certificate.
As for Michael, he later married Janine Butcher and fathered her daughter Scarlett. However, things did not go smoothly between them. Michael became violent when Janine revealed that she wanted Scarlett's last name to be Butcher, and he even pinned her against the wall by her neck.
Desperate to gain custody of Scarlett, Michael plotted to kill Janine by ordering sleeping tablets online and planning to crush them into her drink. Scarlett's nanny, Alice Branning, became infatuated with Michael and agreed to carry out the plan for him so he wouldn't break the terms of Janine's injunction against him. However, when she realized that the dosage would kill Janine, she backed out. On Michael's second attempt, Janine found out and revealed the truth, leading to her and Alice conspiring to frame him.
In a huge argument, Michael tried to strangle Janine again, and Alice ended up stabbing him in the back to protect her. When the police arrived, Janine lied in her statement, saying that Alice had attacked both her and Michael. Both women were charged with murder, but were later found not guilty.
In 2021, Kat was finally forced to come clean about Tommy's true parentage after years of him believing that Alfie was his father. This was due to Scarlett's return to Walford with Janine, and Kat felt pressured to reveal that Scarlett was actually Tommy's half-sister, not his distant cousin. Despite this, Tommy has always seen Alfie as his father, until Kat's marriage to Phil when he began to favor the tough guy of Albert Square.
