Bobby Beale gets new love interest in EastEnders

AFTER Dana Monroe’s departure for university, Bobby Beale has adapted to single life.

But he could be set to prioritise romance in upcoming EastEnders as he becomes smitten with two newcomers next week.

Bobby (portrayed by Clay Milner Russell) had a rocky relationship with Dana Monroe but was ultimately crushed when she cut off their connection by sleeping with his brother Peter.

Despite this, the pair remained on good terms when Dana decided to leave Albert Square to go to university in Glasgow.

Dana packed up her things and moved away from Walford in early September, 2022, leaving Bobby to start afresh in his own way in the Square.

Since then, Bobby has found a friend in the form of Freddie Slater and he left his love life on the backburner.

But with the Knight family set to make their debut on the BBC One soap next week, Bobby could finally meet his match.

Coming up, Elaine Peacock’s partner George Knight (Colin Salmon) makes his arrival in Walford with his daughters Anna and Gina (respectively portrayed by Molly Rainford and Francesca Henry) in tow.

Bobby is instantly smitten with both Knight girls but his grandmother Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) is less of a fan.

The café owner bites their heads off when they bring their chihuahua Tyson in her establishment.

But to make matters worse, they also misjudge the mood in The Vic as they try to get the party started that same evening… unaware that beloved Walford resident Lola Pearce has just died.

Their father George, on the other hand, has to deal with Linda.

George informs her they’ve all arrived from Marbella to help run The Vic – which Linda hadn’t been made aware of by Elaine.

Incandescent with rage to realise Elaine had planned to invite her fiancé and his family to join them all along, could Linda exact her revenge?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
