Bobby Brazier eyes up steamy EastEnders romance and names his dream female partner
EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders heartthrob Freddie Slater is heading back to Walford and actor Bobby Brazier wants his character to get invovled in a "crazy love affair with someone special"
Bobby Brazier is hoping for a steamy storyline when he returns to EastEnders as Freddie Slater.
The 20-year-old actor will make his comeback as his alter-ego in upcoming scenes after taking a break from the BBC One soap to take part in Strictly Come Dancing as well as the show’s UK tour.
He attended the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday (May 11) and spoke to Daily Star about his dream storyline. He said: “I’d say he goes through a crazy type of love affair with someone special.
When pressed on which actress he’d love to play Freddie’s new love interest, Bobby added: “I would pick the actress who plays Maeve Whiley in Sex Eduction [Emma Mackey]. She’s a great actress.”

Mo has since made only brief appearances on the BBC soap, having originally departed in 2021 to join fiancé Fat Elvis on a cruise. Speaking of her comeback, she said: “I’m delighted to be coming home to Walford to bring Mo back to life. EastEnders holds such a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to be reunited with my on screen family, who are like my family, as well as old and new faces.”

EastEnders’ executive producer Chris Clenshaw added: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome back Laila Morse to the role of Mo Harris. Although her time away from the Square has been short-lived, the Slater family has endured a huge amount of drama since she last appeared on screen and Mo’s return will be no different. We’re delighted to welcome Laila back permanently as she is thrust into the heart of the drama alongside great-grandson Freddie.”
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
