Bobby Admits He Was Unaware Of Zoe’s Past
Bobby had joined EastEnders in 2022. He played Freddie Slater on the show, and he was the son of Little Mo. He recently revealed he didn’t know Zoe’s past before Michelle Ryan returned. Fans were quite surprised by his revelation.
Fans love Zoe, especially her bond with her mum, which made her one of the BBC soap’s favourite characters. Bobby said her return felt new since he didn’t know her story. He also talked about working with Michelle Ryan. He cannot describe how much he has enjoyed the chance to share scenes with her.
EastEnders’ Freddie Caught In the Middle of Slater Tensions
Right now, Zoe is struggling to settle in Walford. Her family tries to help, but she won’t open up. Freddie has been struck right in the centre. Bobby says that Freddie is someone who naturally tries to understand everyone’s situation. He is not interested in taking sides. However, he prefers to support Zoe, Kat and Big Mo equally.
Freddie was a calm person on the soap and was always the peacekeeper during tense situations. With so many clashes taking place, people need a person like him to be around them. However, Bobby’s time in EastEnders is coming to an end. We got this news earlier this year. A major cast change took place after Bem Wadey took over as the new Executive producer.
Characters like Claire Norris as Bernie, Mathew James Morrison as Felix have both left earlier this year. Even Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey, has confirmed that she is taking a break from the soap. Her exit storyline will soon be shown. Bobby spoke about how his final months on the set were full of emotions. He had enjoyed his final months even more than before. This character means everything to him. It would be way more difficult for the fans to say goodbye to a character like him.
When fans received this news, they were sad. They wanted more of his scenes with Zoe Slater. People expressed their disappointment all over social media. It would be interesting to know how the future story unfolds. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
