Will Bobby leave the Square after he discovers his girlfriend's betrayal?
EASTENDERS fans have slammed the “abysmal” love triangle between Bobby Beale, Anna Knight and Freddie Slater, admitting they “can’t take much more” of the drama.
As EastEnders fans know, Bobby (Clay Milner Russell) is dating his step-sister Anna Knight (Molly Rainford), but she also has feelings for his best friend Freddie (Bobby Brazier).

Anna and Freddie are secretly in love but have been hiding their feelings because of her relationship with Bobby.
To complicate the situation, Anna is also pregnant with Bobby’s baby.
But this week Anna and Freddie grew even closer - though some viewers have been left fuming at the progression of this storyline as they demand the pair be axed from the soap.
However, in Tuesday’s episode (September 17), she went to the clinic to get pills for a medical abortion after deciding she didn’t want the baby.

Bobby is completely unaware of what Anna is going through, though Freddie has already figured it out and headed to the clinic to support her.
He took her home and then clashed with Gina (Francesca Henry) over telling Bobby, before Anna told them both to grow up.
She then told Freddie: “Thank you. If I’d have been smarter, I wouldn’t have let any of this happen, I wouldn’t be in this mess.
“How has it got to this Fred? I did need someone there today. You know me better than I know myself,” she added, before lifting her head to kiss Freddie.

Meanwhile, a worried Bobby looks to the Beales for advice who then tell him they think his girlfriend is pregnant and that she needs his support and understanding.
Bobby decides to take his family’s advice and heads to the Vic to check on Anna - but he is left utterly devastated as he walks in on her locking lips with Freddie.
The Bobby-Anna-Freddie love triangle has been brewing away in Walford for months, but viewers are sick of it.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, after the episode, one BBC viewer raged: “Can’t take much more of this Freddie/Anna/Bobby love triangle.”
While another demands Anna and Freddie are axed from the soap.
They wrote: “Ruining the show! Abysmal abysmal abysmal! Blend these two together and Hollyoaks actors are still superior- it hurts my heart to exclaim such words about the mighty Eastenders! Viva la axe.”
“Who asked for Anna & Freddie?” a third viewer moaned.
“I have not seen one person ship them, no edits of them, no one wanting them together or remotely interested in their relationship. What’s the point?”
Best soap affair love triangles
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning's dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler - not realising it was caught on tape - and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street - extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn't stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband's nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price's best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride's betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well - until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert's ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair - but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair - after which she announced it to the whole pub.
“I don’t believe anyone is remotely interested in this Anna, Freddie and Bobby nonsense,” a fourth agreed.
It’s currently unclear how much longer the BBC soap will be dragging out this storyline, but it has been confirmed that Bobby actor Clay is leaving EastEnders later this year.

Could rumbling his girlfriend and best mate’s budding romance be the reason? And will Bobby’s departure may pave the way for Anna and Freddie to finally be together?
Speculating about what might kick off Bobby’s exit storyline in an EastEnders online forum, one viewer said: “I’m fairly certain Anna will dump him for Freddie and that will be the trigger for him to leave the square.”
