Bobby Brazier has raised hopes of an imminent return to EastEnders<\/a>, following his enormous success on the BBC\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>, which raised his public profile to new heights.<\/p>\n

The actor and model, who is the son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, placed third in last year\u2019s edition of the competition, coming in just behind Layton Williams<\/a> and winner Ellie Leach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A stint on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour<\/a> has followed, leaving soap fans to wonder when Brazier would once again grace the iconic sets of Albert Square. Fortunately, it appears the wait is almost over.<\/p>\n

In a fresh update this week, he told Daily Mirror<\/a>: \u201cI can\u2019t wait. It\u2019s soon, EastEnders, and I can\u2019t wait. I miss it.\u201d<\/p>

Brazier plays Freddie Slater on the long-running soap opera, son of Graham Foster (Alex McSweeney) and \u2018Little Mo\u2019 Slater (Kacey Ainsworth), who exited the show under dark and dramatic circumstances.<\/p>\n

Freddie was arrested by police on suspicion of attempted murder, following his brutal attack on stalker Theo (William Ellis), who had previously attacked his cousin, Stacey (Lacey Turner).<\/p>\n

After being released on bail, he left Albert Square to stay with his mother, Little Mo, leaving Stacey alone to grapple with a huge shared secret \u2013 that the two of them planted a weapon on Theo to strengthen their own case.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, there will be plenty more drama in store for Freddie when the character is re-introduced, with an announcement seeming ever more likely based on Brazier\u2019s latest comments.<\/p>\n

Previously, he told Heat Magazine: \u201cI miss everyone and I miss acting. Every so often, a dance will feel like a scene \u2013 like when I was being Patrick Swayze [in Movies Week] \u2013 and it feels like I\u2019m stepping into a role, which makes me miss work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rising star also said he could \u201cpotentially\u201d do more work on the stage, following reports that he was being sought by West End casting directors following his impressive showing on Strictly.<\/p>\n
