TOMMY Moon grows terrified of his bullies and turns to Phil Mitchell for help.
But after a shocking mistake, the EastEnders bad guy is horrified to find the young boy has been viciously attacked.
While a lifetime in prison awaits him, Phil (played by Steve McFadden) ties up every lose end he can before facing justice for his villainous deeds.
This includes responding to Tommy’s (Sonny Kendall) cry for help when the latter asks him to pick him up from school so he doesn’t have to deal with his bullies.
In upcoming scenes of the BBC One soap, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) first tells Phil it’s not fair for him to still be close with the kids when he’s going away for a long time soon.
