EastEnders' Freddie Slater 'to embark on first ever throuple' in BBC soap history
EastEnders' Freddie Slater, played by Bobby Brazier, might be heading for a "throuple'" situation on the popular BBC One soap.
Freddie, who first graced our screens in 2022 as the son of soap legend Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth), has quickly become a fan favourite.
He's been involved in some major plotlines, including confronting his abusive father and defending Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) from her creepy stalker Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis).
Last year, he had a brief romance with Anna Knight (Molly Rainford), resulting in a one-night stand, despite his best mate Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) having feelings for her.
Anna and Bobby have since become an item, and when Freddie returned to Walford after a few months away, he discovered their relationship, leaving him a bit heartbroken, reports the Daily Star.
But in an attempt to move on from Anna, in Tuesday's episode (June 25), Freddie arranged a romantic date for Anna and Bobby - with Bobby taking all the credit.
However, fans believe that Freddie and Anna still have feelings for each other and speculate that the soap could introduce its first throuple.
On a Facebook fan page, one viewer commented: "I'm getting throuple vibes from Bobby Anna and Freddie." Another agreed: "Yea I thought that."
"Like an open relationship between the 3 of them," they suggested. However, a third viewer disagreed: "no thanks that's a storyline too far."
While on Twitter, another viewer penned: "Why don't Bobby Anna and Freddie get into a throuple for goodness sake stop all this nonsense! " A second person said: "We need more poly relationships."
Freddie made his way back to the square this year after some time away, and he wasn't alone as Laila Morse returned to our screens as the iconic Big Mo Harris.
She was last spotted in Walford in 2022 when she showed up for the doomed first wedding attempt of her granddaughter Kat (Jessie Wallace) to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
Since then, Mo has popped up only occasionally on the BBC soap, having left in 2021 to embark on a cruise with her fiance Fat Elvis.
On her return, she expressed: "I'm delighted to be coming home to Walford to bring Mo back to life. EastEnders holds such a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to be reunited with my on screen family, who are like my family, as well as old and new faces."
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
