Meanwhile, Anna has been on the search for her mum, Rose Knight, who walked out on her nine years ago. However, this decision has caused friction between her and sister Gina (Francesca Henry).
What Anna has yet to discover is the fact that Rose Knight was actually the identity taken on by EastEnders legend Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) during her witness protection.
Following their heart to heart, Freddie decides to bow out of the party planning as part of his plan to play matchmaker between Bobby and Anna. He believes that his presence would get in the way of them bonding and decides to take himself completely out of the equation.
However, it is Bobby himself who ends up messing tings up when he pretends to be someone that he’s not. A polite Anna makes her excuses to leave, claiming that she has to go to work.
When Bernie’s party rolls around, it is a roaring success, though things aren’t quite going to plan for Bobby. He is left gutted when he grows suspicious that Anna may feelings for best friend Freddie.
What he doesn’t know is that Anna has been distracted by an unexpected update from her investigator in the middle of the party.
After talking it through with Freddie, she decides to go ahead and meet up with him, despite having promised Gina that she would drop the whole search.
With Freddie and Anna able to confide in one another, could they been on track to develop feelings as Bobby suspects? And where does that leave him?
