EastEnders fans have been eagerly anticipating the return of Freddie Slater to Albert Square, and it seems that his comeback will be a long-term one. Actor Bobby Brazier has reportedly signed a new contract with the show, following his brief hiatus in recent months.
Bobby took a break from the BBC soap to participate in Strictly Come Dancing, where he wowed audiences with his impressive dance moves alongside partner Dianne Buswell. Since then, he has also joined the Strictly Tour, performing with other talented contestants such as Coronation Street's Ellie Leach and musical theatre star Layton Williams.
But the good news is, Bobby will be reprising his role as Freddie and returning to Walford, much to the relief of fans. According to sources, he is seen as one of the show's brightest young stars and losing him would have been a huge loss. However, after considering all the offers that came his way, he ultimately decided to renew his contract, to the delight of everyone.
In the meantime, Freddie will be back on screen, alongside the iconic Mo Harris, played by Laila Morse. The last time we saw Freddie, he had just defended Stacey Slater against a dangerous stalker, Theo Hawthorne, and was heading off to visit his mother, Little Mo. But now, he will be returning to Walford alongside Big Mo, in an exclusive first-look on the EastEnders TikTok channel. The limited series will follow both characters in Mo's caravan, where she has been living since leaving Walford.

Thankfully, Bobby's return to EastEnders is not the end of his career opportunities. He is also in talks for other projects, but they will not interfere with his work on the show. This is similar to what happened with Molly Rainford's single last year and Tameka Empson's recent play. So fans can rest assured that they will still be seeing plenty of Freddie Slater in the future.
