Tomas Covalenco (Ukrainian: Томас Коваленко) was abandoned on 9 April 2007 by his mother, Anya in a church in Kent, and found by Dot Branning, who believed that Jesus had given her a second chance to be a good mother, after she aborted a baby at 21, and her son Nick grew up a criminal. Dot left her address on a notice board in the church, and Anya arrived in Walford to collect her son on 10 April. She was later arrested by immigration officials Warren Rice and Paul Jenkins for being an illegal immigrant, but didn't tell them she had a baby, leaving him with Dot and Jim. Jim later told his family that Tomas was the product of an affair between Nick and a prison nurse with no maternal instincts. He was then known as George Merton, until Dot was persuaded by Reverend Stevens and her oldest friend, Harold Legg to tell Social Services that she had him. He was collected on 8 June by social worker Natasha Powell.
