Kat, meanwhile, worries about Joel’s influence on Tommy but gets no support from Alfie, who is elsewhere. Where is he?
Kat is desperate to track down Alfie so they can discuss Tommy, but after a conversation with Alfie, Kat doesn’t feel any better.
She feels Alfie isn’t being completely honest with her, and later, Kat makes another attempt to speak to Alfie about her fears for Tommy.
Then Alfie tells her he needs to go and see his brother Spencer (Christopher Parker) in Australia, as Spencer is in turmoil.
Is this what Alfie has been distracted by, or is there more to his behaviour?
4. Phil Mitchell tries to support Linda Carter amid Elaine Knight’s careless behaviour
Phil worries Linda isn’t coping with having to do the lion’s share of the work at The Queen Vic following recent events in her family.
Elaine is neglecting her duties as the drinks start flowing at her party, and Elaine is joined by Kim Fox (Tameka Empson), Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) and more.
The night gets messier by the minute, and Linda is shocked when Elaine declares the prosecco is on the house all night. Phil again notices how much Linda is struggling with running the bar alone, so he helps her out.
A tipsy Elaine is oblivious as she offers to book Priya a singles cruise, saying she can pay her back later.
Linda is horrified to see £5k leaving the business account, but when she confronts Elaine, her mum dismisses her concerns.
The next day, a hungover Elaine refuses to engage with a reeling Linda. As Phil realises just how much pressure Linda is under, he chastises Elaine for treating Linda so carelessly.
But when Elaine tries to talk to Linda, Linda downplays how overwhelmed she really is.
Can Phil convince Linda to be honest?
