Beloved characters Freddie Slater, portrayed by Bobby Brazier, and Big Mo Harris, played by Laila Morse, are making a highly-anticipated return to the iconic British soap opera, EastEnders, this week after some time away.
Freddie was last seen leaving Albert Square to spend quality time with his mother, Little Mo Slater, following a tumultuous stint involving an attack on stalker Theo Hawthorne. His departure allowed actor Bobby Brazier to pursue other ventures, including a stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 and various other projects.
Meanwhile, Big Mo’s absence from Walford has been noticeable for much longer, dating back to Kat’s failed wedding to Phil Mitchell in 2022. The character, known as the grandmother of Kat, was introduced alongside the Slater family in 2000 and remained a regular fixture on the BBC soap opera until 2012, with occasional appearances thereafter.
