Freddie Slater has been doing his best to hide his feelings for Anna Knight, but it's been a BIG struggle!
After sharing one drunken night of passion last year, a guilt-stricken Freddie parked his feelings for Anna, knowing that his best friend Bobby Beale was completely smitten by her.
When Anna started dating Bobby, everything seemed to have worked out smoothly,. But both Anna and Freddie have been secretly harbouring feelings for each other and neither of them want to admit it!
Feeling confused after Freddie abandoned her after being sent by an oblivious Bobby to cheer her up, Anna visits Freddie to check if he's upset with her for some reason.
Awkwardly telling Anna everything is good, he's put on the spot when she asks whether he wants to go birdwatching with her. She suggests going for a meal with Bobby and her sister Gina Knight instead and feeling more comfortable about being in a group, Freddie agrees.
Anna and Freddie arrive for the meal at Walford East but both Bobby and Gina have been delayed. When waitress Priya Nandra-Hart teases them about being on a 'date', Freddie internally cringes and makes an excuse to leave.
Poor Anna is horrified that he's left her on her own and when Gina turns up she tells her how weird Freddie is being with her.
Playing detective, Gina wants to get to the bottom of things and she works out that Freddie's in love with Anna!
