EastEnders: Bobby Brazier Is Back As Freddie Slater!
EastEnders’s Bobby Brazier had been on quite the whirlwind for the past couple of months. First, he hit up the dance floor on a reality show where he stood second, losing to Corrie’s Ellie Leach. Moreover, the actor has been rocking the Strictly live tour ever since!
Guess what? Metro.co.uk spotted the EastEnders star recently at TV Choice awards where he spoke about his return! He said, “I can’t wait to go back to EastEnders. I’ve missed them.” Brazier also mentioned the departure of Max Bowden. It turns out Max has already wrapped up his role.
Bobby expressed, “‘I’m gonna miss him – I didn’t get to say goodbye to him, but he’s a very funny man.” The Strictly star actor hoped to catch up with Max again soon. Nevertheless, Brazier was super pumped, “I feel excited, I’m gonna make sure I learn my lines.” And our boy holds a weirdly different interest in Bobby Beale, “It was maybe an action when I kissed Bobby Beale.” We reckon things are about to get juicy when he returns on EastEnders!
Ben’s Exit Storyline Confirmed?
Max Bowden is saying goodbye to his role as Ben Mitchell after four years on the show. The viewers have been piecing together his exit storyline. His character is joining forces with Johnny Carter to wage war against Dean Wicks. His better half, Callum Highway, will also get in on the action!
Since Johnny returned to the Square, he can’t cope with Linda’s alcoholism on EastEnders. Then he found out his rapist uncle Dean Wicks was back, and he rumbled the whole chaos. Moreover, the lad even squared off with Dean in the Vic, and Ben couldn’t help but sympathise with Johnny.
In addition, Johnny was taken aback by how everyone seemed so apathetic to Linda’s struggles, blaming it all on Dean. That’s when Ben stepped in, promising to help Johnny get rid of Dean on EastEnders. Ben proposed a plan, assuring Callum that everything would be legally bound. However, from the look on Ben’s face, it looks like he’s willing to take more extreme measures to help Johnny.
Could this be the storyline that leads to Ben’s exit? Could he end up behind bars? What’s your take?
