In an interview with "Buzz", Richie said that although that Kat and Alfie have received Tommy back, the couple still have problems to face. He commented: "Kat and Alfie are happy to have Tommy back, but they still buried the baby they thought was their son. That destroyed them and their relationship. The cot-death storyline is just the start of what's going to happen to Kat and Alfie. I've also heard rumours about whether Alfie is really firing blanks. He had a fertility test in Spain. Could it be wrong?" Wallace and Richie have hinted that the plot could have a long lasting impact on Kat and Alfie. Shane Richie added: "While Alfie happily throws himself into being a dad to Tommy, it's Kat who's going to be finding things difficult."
