Freddie learns Anna’s secret. BBC

He keeps this to himself, and when Anna finds him she begs him to keep her secret – she’s having a termination, and Bobby must never find out. Anna is determined to go through with this alone, and brushes off Bobby’s invitation out.

Freddie tries to persuade Anna to tell Bobby the truth, but she refuses; while Peter Beale (Thomas Law) stuns Bobby when he shares Lauren Branning’s (Jacqueline Jossa) theory that Anna could be pregnant.

Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) advises Bobby to speak to Anna so they can deal with the situation together, but Anna is already at the clinic talking through her options before deciding to go through with an abortion.

Anna is touched to find Freddie in the waiting room, and after he takes Anna back to The Vic, they share an emotional moment and end up kissing. Bobby walks in and sees them, and Freddie rushes after him.

Bobby accuses Freddie of getting Anna pregnant, and Martin Fowler (James Bye) has to restrain Bobby. Anna insists to Bobby that this is not what he thinks, and the row moves over to the Beale house as all hell breaks loose.

With Anna on the verge of terminating her pregnancy and Bobby set to leave Walford this year, how will this story end?

Meanwhile, the gossip continues over innocent Sonia Fowler’s (Natalie Cassidy) imprisonment for the murder of Reiss’s wife Debbie (Jenny Meier), who was secretly smothered to death by Reiss himself.

Teddy piles on the pressure to Reiss that he needs the books back by tomorrow, as his ex’s solicitor is pushing for them. Teddy then offers to help prove Sonia’s innocence if Reiss meets the deadline, prompting Reiss to agree.

Teddy is delighted when Reiss completes the work, and later, Reiss is approached by a reporter who wants an interview after being tipped off that he’s defending his wife’s ‘killer’.

Reiss is pleased when the interview helps cast public doubt over Sonia’s guilt, and even Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) changes her tune and shows her support as Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) pitches up with a box of ‘Save Our Sonia’ t-shirts.
