Kacey opens up about her Walford return

Former EastEnders star Kacey Ainsworth has teased the return of Little Mo Slater as she revealed a coincidental visit to her home by screen son Bobby Brazier.

Although they have never shared a scene together, Bobby plays her son, Freddie Slater. Freddie was born when Little Mo was raped by Graham Foster.

Kacey left the soap following Freddie’s birth, exiting the series in 2006. He then joined the cast of EastEnders in 2022, seeking the truth about his father.
