EastEnders fans predict shocking revenge twist after brutal attack

Will Theo seek revenge on Stacey and Freddie?

EastEnders viewers are speculating on a revenge twist in the aftermath of a brutal attack on the character of Theo Hawthorne. After attempting to rape Stacey Slater, Theo was interrupted and assaulted by Stacey's cousin, Freddie Slater. Fans believe that as Theo recovers, he will plot revenge against both Stacey and Freddie.

Theo's disturbing obsession with Stacey

Theo Hawthorne, played by actor William Ellis, has become fixated on Stacey Slater after spying on her through a hidden camera. He has gone to extreme lengths to win her affections, even tutoring her young daughter for free. However, when Stacey rejected his advances, Theo's behavior became increasingly erratic and dangerous.

A violent confrontation in Stacey's kitchen

After terrorizing Stacey, Theo broke into her home and attempted to rape her. Luckily, Freddie Slater walked in and intervened, using an iron to assault Theo and leave him unconscious in the kitchen. Stacey, Freddie, and solicitor Eve Unwin quickly devised a plan to defend Freddie's actions, fearing that Theo may have heard their conversation.

Is Theo still a threat?

EastEnders fans are concerned that Theo survived the assault and overheard Stacey, Freddie, and Eve discussing their cover-up. They believe he may use this information to threaten Stacey in the future. Some viewers even speculate that Theo's attack could be connected to the upcoming Christmas murder mystery, involving several female characters from Walford.

Freddie's exit and future return

Actor Bobby Brazier, who portrays Freddie Slater, has confirmed that he will be temporarily leaving EastEnders to participate in the new season of Strictly. However, he assured fans that this departure is not permanent and they haven't seen the last of Freddie. The timing of his exit from the show has not been revealed.

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

Questions left unanswered

As Theo's fate hangs in the balance, viewers are eager to know if he will survive the attack and how Freddie's exit storyline will unfold on screen.
