EastEnders lines up heartbreak for Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) next week, as confirmed in my new pictures, as he walks in on girlfriend Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) kissing Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier).
The Beales Eels manager, as viewers know, struggled to forgive best mate Freddie for previously sleeping with Anna, so this betrayal will likely come as a huge blow – one which could lead to his exit.
The kiss comes after Freddie offers support to Anna, who has discovered that she is pregnant with Bobby’s baby.
Anna claims that she’s happy about the pregnancy but she subsequently tells Gina (Francesca Henry) that she’s not ready for a baby, resolving to have an abortion.
Freddie, however, finds out that she’s pregnant. Anna begs him to keep her secret, with Freddie accompanying her to the clinic to discuss her options. When they return to the Vic, the pair kiss – and Bobby witnesses it.
With Bobby set to exit the Square, will Anna and Freddie’s betrayal be what causes him to leave?
Elsewhere, Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) is accosted by Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian), who wants him to work on his books to hide his wealth, even if it means doing so illegally!
Reiss also gives an interview to the press during the week in question, which helps in the crusade to clear Sonia Fowler’s (Natalie Cassidy) name. The question is: will it be enough?
Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliah James), meanwhile, is spotted kissing Mason, the 18-year-old boy she’s been messaging. Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) confronts Mason, revealing that Avani is only 15, but Avani brushes over such a thing, with she and Mason sharing a kiss.
Barney is left conflicted when Avani asks him to keep her secret.
It’s going to be a busy week in the Square!
