Who are Freddie’s parents in EastEnders?

But the EastEnders favourite is due to be reminded he should be careful what he wishes for. Who are his parents?
Who are Freddie Slater's parents in EastEnders?
Bobby Brazier made his debut in the BBC One soap in 2022 as the long-lost Slater relative ahead of Kat Slater's wedding to Phil Mitchell.
His on-screen alter ego, Freddie Slater, hadn't been seen in Walford since 2006, after he was made to leave the Square alongside his mother, Little Mo.
The daughter of Charlie, Maureen "Little Mo" Slater is a member of the Slater family fans may have forgotten all about.
She was portrayed by actress Kacey Ainsworth and was first introduced alongside her family in September, 2000, the day of Ethel Skinner's funeral.

Freddie has spent most of his life with his mother, who raised him alone, but always craved to know more about his father.
When he rocked up Albert Square, he was adamant that market trader Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) was his father, only to be told he had the wrong man in mind.
The topic has mostly been swept under the rug but with Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) all set to discover where her mother Rose aka Cindy Beale vanished off to, Freddie is in need of answers again.
Spoilers have recently confirmed Freddie Slater will finally come face to face with his biological father, Graham Foster, as actor Alex McSweeney reprises his role.

What happened to Little Mo in EastEnders?
Unlike her grandmother, Big Mo, Little Mo was known for her timid disposition.
Life in Walford has not been easy for Little Mo and she is perhaps best known for being part of a powerful domestic abuse storyline, years before Chantelle and Gray Atkins.
While she settled into the Square without him, her husband Trevor Morgan eventually joined her and it was soon revealed he was abusing her.
Little Mo was worn down so much, she had become unable to leave Trevor - until New Year's Eve in 2001.
In iconic scenes, Little Mo struck back by repeatedly hitting Trevor with an iron, leaving him for dead.
When it was revealed she hadn't killed him, she was charged with attempted murder but she made a deal with Trevor not to press charges.
Trevor was eventually killed off during a fire in the Slater home.
Little Mo was then able to move on from Trevor by embarking on a romance with Billy Mitchell and everything seemed to fall into place.
Unfortunately, things took another nasty turn for Little Mo as she was working behind the Queen Vic bar.
Graham was Little Mo's friend as well as her father Charlie's darts-playing buddy.
One night, Little Mo found herself alone with Graham in the Vic and raped her while Billy Mitchell was at home, preparing a romantic surprise for his other half.
Little Mo, who had already gone through a similar ordeal with Trevor, decided she wouldn't stay silent and told her family everything, prompting Charlie to attack Graham.
Mo was tested for STIs after reporting Graham to the police and all the tests came back negative, except one - she found out she was pregnant.
In a shocking twist, Mo decided to keep the baby to her family and Billy's dismay and insisted the unborn baby shouldn't have to pay for Graham's crimes.
Billy was unable to cope or accept her decision and the pair separated with Mo leaving the Square only to return for Graham's trial.
Mo gave birth to her son, Frederick William aka Freddie and Graham was eventually sentenced to eight years in prison.
After a failed reconciliation with Billy, Little Mo tried to move on with her life but she decided to leave Albert Square altogether in May 2006, with a young Freddie in tow - and viewers already know the rest.
But with EastEnders revisiting Little Mo's rape ordeal through Freddie's journey, fans of the long-running drama have been hoping to see her come back to the Square.
