EastEnders' Freddie shaken as Graham makes contact leading to heated showdown

EastEnders' Freddie Slater becomes embroiled in a heated showdown with his father Graham Foster next week on the BBC soap, as the villain returns to the show.

Graham recently made a comeback to the soap 18 years after his last appearance on the show, as Freddie tried to find his dad after finally learning his identity. But Freddie was devastated and ended contact with his dad, when he found out the truth about how he was conceived.

Freddie found out his mother Little Mo was raped by Graham and that this was how she fell pregnant. Little Mo had her baby son and left Walford where she raised Freddie for 18 years before he decided to go back to Walford. Freddie was keen to find his father, but once he learned the truth he halted contact with Graham.

Next week, spoilers reveal Graham once again reaches out leaving Freddie shaken. He gets a friend request online, and immediately blocks Graham. But soon Freddie decides to confront his dad and heads to his office to meet him, with Anna Knight in tow. Things get very heated very quickly as Freddie calls his dad a rapist.

Confronting him and telling him he knows what he did, Freddie is called out by Graham and refuses to admit what he did. Soon, he orders Freddie to leave and threatens to call the police leaving Freddie in turmoil. Freddie can't believe his dad was so remorseless over his crime, and he fears he could end up as vile and cold as his dad.

Anna is worried about him and tries to get Bobby Beale to forgive Freddie after their recent falling out. Freddie slept with Anna knowing Bobby liked her, and Bobby has refused to forgive him. But when Anna shares her fears about Freddie lashing out after the row with Graham, Bobby helps look for him.

It comes as actor Bobby Brazier revealed he would be taking a break from the BBC soap, with Freddie leaving Walford briefly. Bobby is currently on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing so has taken some time out of filming to focus on the show. Speaking to the press, he said: "I'm taking a break. I’ve filmed it all, and I’m not telling you. I’ll be back."
