Freddie's old school teacher Theo has just been exposed as Stacey Slater's stalker, and it's clear he's not done yet. Freddie is the reason Theo came to Walford thanks to their past, and he will no doubt be shocked to find out what he's been up to. But might Freddie try to protect Stacey and get on the wrong side of Theo? Theo used to torment Freddie at school, so might he target him once more?
Bobby revenge
Bobby was devastated in recent scenes when he found out best friend Freddie had slept with his crush Anna Knight. Their friendship was in tatters, and viewers were left convinced Bobby could turn dark again. Bobby was a troubled child and in 2014 he accidentally killed his sister Lucy Beale, before going on to violently attack stepmother Jane Beale and pal Dennis Rickman. So might Freddie face a similar fate?
