EastEnders fans heartbroken for Freddie Slater as he finds out about his father

EastEnders fans are convinced they may have ‘rumbled’ a shocking act of revenge in the coming weeks, as Walford icon Cindy Beale prepares to retune to the soap. As regular viewers will know, Cindy Beale will be returning to Albert Square imminently, despite previously being presumed dead by her loved ones.

As Peter and Cindy Beale make their surprising return to Albert Square this week, many fans at home have been raising a few eyebrows over just how close both of Peter’s siblings Anna Knight and Bobby Beale have been getting. Although the pair are completely unaware of their shared sibling connection, and have no biological bond, things are far from simple when it comes to navigating the complexities of the Beale family tree. But fear not soap fans, as OK! has you covered with a quick run down of who's who in the Beale family tree.

Peter Beale is to return to Walford during the episode on Tuesday, 22 August, spoilers have revealed. Peter's return has been teased for weeks since he was filmed in France with Cindy and Ian. However, as his sister Anna Knight steps up her search for her mum, Cindy, Peter soon finds out about his two extra sisters Anna and Gina.

Bobby Brazier's upcoming appearance on Strictly Come Dancing would have made his late mum Jade Goody 'burst with pride', according to her widower.

Following Thursday night's episode of EastEnders, fans were left in fear for 12 year old Lilly Slater and her baby after Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) “manipulated” Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) amid his continued obsession with her. Theo convinced Stacey to kick Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) out of the Slater family home after she destroyed the kitchen in a drunken rage, after coming face-to-face with the woman who killed her twin sister.Turning to Theo for advice, he suggested that it may be unsafe for Eve to be around Lily and her soon-to-be-born baby.This lead Stacey to tell Eve that is was best if she found somewhere to live, leaving viewers concerned for Lily and her baby.

As EastEnders prepares to welcome back Walford legend Cindy Beale full time, the return of the character has sparked some serious questions among fans, specifically around her connection to Bobby Beale. In recent weeks, Bobby has been growing closer to newcomer Anna Knight, who moved in to the Queen Vic pub alongside her father George and sister Gina earlier this Summer.

EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier has revealed the bizarre way that he is preparing to become an "elegant" dancer on Strictly Come Dancing later this year. Bobby has been announced as one of 15 celebrities taking on the dancing challenge in a bid to walk home with the Glitterball trophy. Strictly will return to our screens later this year, but Bobby is already doing some small things that he feels will help him on the show.

EastEnders fans have all been saying the same thing this week, as writers of the show appear to have forgotten about a huge health condition that previously affected fan favourite Alfie Moon. As regular viewers will know, Alfie previously suffered from a brain tumour, which required him to undergo surgery in 2017 after suffering from hallucinations, headaches and of course dizziness.Thankfully, despite nearly dying on the operating table, Alfie survived the procedure and made a full recovery - but fans couldn’t help but notice how it hadn’t been mentioned once, either by Alfie or his doctor, when he was warned he may be suffering from prostate cancer on Tuesday night’s episode, 15 August.

EastEnders legend Alfie Moon is set for a health scare as he suffers from a punch from his young son, Tommy Moon. During the episode, which aired on Monday, 14 August, Alfie struggled to control young Tommy after he ran out while Alfie was looking after him. Alfie found Tommy in the park drinking with his friends, but when they returned home and tried to talk, things took a nasty turn.

Peter Beale (Thomas Law) returns to Walford to meet his half-sisters in EastEnders spoilers, but Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) forbids him to tell them the truth about Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins). After George Knight (Colin Salmon) and Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) give their blessing, Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) calls her mum and leaves a message for her. When she hears nothing back, Anna later sends a stroppy text.

EastEnders fans have been left stunned as one character revealed they have a big birthday coming up. During a conversation with Anna Knight, Bernadette Taylor explained that she turns 21 this week, although she isn't planning on marking the occasion, due to money troubles for the Taylor family.

Annabel Croft has said her late husband was a “huge fan” of Strictly Come Dancing but she will not be taking herself “too seriously” on the dancefloor this year.The former British number one tennis player and broadcaster is among the star-studded line-up of the new series of the BBC’s flagship show. Annabel, 57, was the youngest Briton to compete in the Wimbledon Championships for almost a century at the age of 15. She then became a junior champion at the tournament in 1984 at the age of 18.

With the full line-up of contestants for this year's Strictly Come Dancing finally complete, viewers are already placing their bets on who will take home the coveted glitterball trophy this Christmas. Huge household names have been announced, including former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach - who starred as Faye Windass on the soap for 12 years – as well as Emmerdale's Adam Thomas (who played Adam Barton), EastEnders' Freddie Slater actor Bobby Brazier and TV newsreaders, Angela Rippon and Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

TV presenter Jeff Brazier has reacted to the news that his eldest son Bobby Brazier will be joining the 2023 Strictly Come Dancing celeb lineup.The proud dad, 44, revealed that Strictly viewers will be impressed by his son's "politeness and his manners." Jeff also took to Instagram to share his excitement with his 260,000 followers. Just moments after Strictly Come Dancing uploaded a dazzling clip revealing 20-year-old Bobby as the 12th celeb to join the show, Jeff reposted the glitzy video to his page. He sweetly wrote: "Go on the boy," followed by a red heart emoji alongside the clip.

And just like that, we have another contestant confirmed for Strictly - this time Bobby Brazier - best known to fans as Freddie Slater from EastEnders.The handsome curly-haired 20-year-old is set to join forces with Adam Thomas and set hearts racing as he dons full-on glitter, tight trousers and plenty of fake tan and takes to the dancefloor next month. But first, OK! takes a look at the actor's life away from the Square. Before finding fame and arriving on-set last September though, Freddie worked in a milkshake shop.

It's the big soap conundrum that's got everyone scratching their heads – who's the victim of the EastEnders Christmas killer? And, perhaps more importantly, who's the murderer? All kinds of fan theories have circulated about the killer's identity ever since fans were treated to a special flash-forward to the nail-biting Christmas Day episode ealier this year, which showed a body lying on the floor of the Queen Vic. The body was surrounded by Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Kathy Cotton, Stacey Slater, Denise Fox and Sharon Watts, who is wearing a wedding dress. Some have suggested it could be Nish Panesar, while others think it's Vinny Panesar.

Bobby Brazier has been announced as the twelfth celebrity contestant hoping to take home the glitterball trophy in the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing - which will be kicking off in just a few weeks' time. Bobby is a 20-year-old model and actor, best known for his role as Freddie Slater in EastEnders.

It was another emotional night in Walford on Tuesday, as baby Peach’s due date presented Whitney Dean and Zack Hudson with a poignant milestone. As regular viewers will know, the couple made the heartbreaking decision to terminate their pregnancy earlier this year, after it was revealed that Peach had Edwards syndrome, a rare genetic condition that would affect her growth and development.
