EastEnders is bringing back Little Mo Slater’s son Freddie – but with a new face. Model and influencer Bobby Brazier is set to join the BBC One soap as Freddie in a recast this autumn in his acting debut, taking over from previous child actors Alex and Tom Kilby. Bobby is the son of presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Big Brother contestant Jade Goody, so he certainly has show business running through his veins. BBC Freddie Slater was last seen as a boy who leaves Walford with mum Little Mo to start a new life, but now he returns as a teenager with a mission that could bring serious disappointment. “I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders – it’s been great so far,” said the young actor. “Everyone was so nice to me and made settling in easier than I could have hoped for. “Getting into the world of acting has always been a vision of mine and to do it with EastEnders as Slater is a blessing, I’m so grateful. [I’m] I’ve loved every minute of Freddie so far and can’t wait to see what he has in store at Walford.” BBC Producer Chris Clenshaw added: “Freddie Slater is a chaotic 18-year-old with a sensitive soul. A modern lad in touch with his spiritual side. He’s philosophical, accepting, but full of mischief and makes mistakes. “Bobby is a terrific young addition to the EastEnders cast who brings heart and humility to the role of Freddy Slater and I can’t wait for audiences to get to know him.” This autumn is set to be huge for the Slaters as Laila Morse returns to Walford as beloved character Big Mo Harris. Shane Richie’s own return as Alfie Moon has also recently appeared on screen – but it’s unlikely that Kacey Ainsworth will ever return as Little Mo. EastEnders airs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7.30pm. on BBC One, with some episodes shown on BBC Two during summer sporting events. The show is also streaming on BBC iPlayer.
