Will he, however, seek assistance from Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth) when he eventually learns the truth?

When they set out to find him, they wonder if he might be going to meet Little Mo.
Bobby the actor and executive producer Chris Clenshall discussed Freddie’s arrival in a Q&A with Express.co.uk and other media.
He comes because he believes Billy Mitchell is his father, but many in the audience will recall that incident and be aware of the truth, Chris teased. Soon after, Freddie realizes Billy is not his father.

The EastEnders actor talked about the poignant scene he and co-stars Perry and Emma were a part of.
“That was a major event for me. It was perhaps my largest personal moment to date,” said Bobby.
“I had an extremely emotional sequence when Freddie was completely overtaken by sadness, anger, and other strong emotions.
“I had prepared, but I hadn’t really gotten into the feeling of Freddie, so I made the decision to isolate myself in my dressing room to truly get into the character’s emotions, feel the situation, and comprehend it.
“I performed the scene and believed I somewhat smashed it. I was shaking because I was so shaken up by emotion.
“Freddie, not I, was responsible,” I can only say that I felt like I was performing.
“When I was done, I moved around the corner to let the others to continue the scene. As soon as they were, Emma and Perry got up and came around the corner to give me a big kiss and a cuddle.
It was really beautiful. That was a major occasion for me, and they made sure I knew I performed well. I really appreciate stuff like that, I love stuff like that, and I truly cherish something like that.
