3. Kat takes action for Tommy
Kat feels like her hands are tied when it comes to her son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall).

Kat remains on edge as she waits for someone to pick up a package for Phil but Isaac intervenes.
He quickly tells her about the extent of Tommy being bullied.
With the safety of her son in school hanging in balance, Kat chooses to take action to help him.
4. Will is in a dangerous situation
After she reappeared in the Square, Jada (played by Kelsey Calladine-Smith) has attracted the attention of Will (Freddie Phillips).
Since then, he has been getting himself into trouble in a bid to get her affection and is now set to be thrown into another dangerous situation.
Will has already been manipulated to take part in underage drinking.
Jada and her friends first come up with the idea of a party and Will enters the salon asking for an invite.
Confused, Jada then realises that her friends have sent out a massive invite on her behalf, despite her trying to cancel everything.
The party still goes ahead and Jada succeeds in getting Zack Hudson (James Farrar) and Martin Fowler (James Bye) to leave.
Jada's friends and Will come round, ready to party, but when nobody else shows up, the girls begin to ask questions.
Will then takes an unnecessary risk until Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) ends the party after checking in.
Sonia takes Will home but consequences are looming on the horizon for Jada.
5. Janine leaves Walford
Since her return to the borough in September, 2021, Janine (Charlie Brooks) has caused a lot of trouble.
However, she has also shown an interest in The Vic landlord Mick (Danny Dyer).
While she comforted him after he learned the truth about Tina Carter's death, their connection grows stronger.
But Janine isn't completely satisfied and informs him that they should take some space from one another.
She makes a drastic move… away from the Square.
Mick is more puzzled and feels like a fool when Janine rejects the flowers he bought for her to thank her for her support.
Janine opens up about her decision and insists she needs time away from Mick as she wants their relationship to be real and not built on pain or desperation.
