Her Son Is Taken Away From Her… | Walford REEvisited | EastEnders
In a heart-wrenching turn, Cat Slater faces her worst nightmare as she battles to keep her son Tommy, who is at risk of being taken away. It begins when a
social worker, Jackie Furst, and Detective Constable Perkins arrive, requesting to speak with Tommy and the twins without her present. Cat’s desperation and
fear rise as they press for answers about Tommy’s troubling behavior and bruises found on his siblings. Cat struggles to defend her son, insisting he’s just a normal, spirited boy, but the officials push back, suggesting Tommy’s actions are more serious than she realizes.
Meanwhile, Cat’s close family and friends rally around her, yet hidden tensions emerge. As Cat stands her ground, secrets about Tommy’s actions are brought to light—his little brothers have been hurt, and it seems he’s responsible. Distraught, Cat wrestles with the truth. As she pleads with the social worker, the fear that Tommy might be placed in care looms large. Jackie gently suggests finding family support to prevent this, but Cat’s options are limited. Eventually, her relative Zach steps up, offering to take Tommy temporarily. Though Cat reluctantly agrees, the solution leaves her feeling more alone than ever.
The weight of Cat’s frustration spills over onto her friends, particularly Stacey, whom she suspects might have reported her. In a fierce confrontation, she accuses Stacey of betrayal, reminding her of the times she stood by her family. Stacey defends herself, pointing out the challenges Cat has been ignoring. Cat is left reeling, realizing her attempts to protect Tommy may have masked deeper issues she didn’t want to face. As tensions rise, Cat feels her support system slipping away, but she clings to the hope that she’ll bring Tommy back home soon.
With Tommy now temporarily in Zach’s care, Cat faces an agonizing wait as authorities monitor his behavior.

This separation from Tommy, though painful, forces Cat to confront the difficult choices that lie ahead in safeguarding her family. Her emotional journey stirs doubts, questions, and realizations that, despite her best efforts, things may never be the same in Walford.
As the dust settles, Cat’s relationships with her loved ones are fractured, and her resilience is tested like never before. Will Tommy’s time with Zach give him the stability he needs? Or will it push Cat further into isolation? One thing is clear—Walford won’t soon forget the struggle and heartbreak Cat faces as she fights to keep her family together.
