Bobby's character Freddie was conceived on the show in late 2003, to mother Little Mo Mitchell.

In May 2006, Freddie was admitted to hospital with bleeding on the brain, and the character left Walford on May 26, 2006, with his mother, in an effort to start a new life in Devon.

Freddie returned in November........
