Eastenders fans were left emotional after Thursday's episode of the long-running soap.In the emotional episode, Freddie Slater, played by Bobby Brazier, made the huge decision to cut his father Graham out of his life, after he came to the realisation his dad was a rapist.The decision came as Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) revealed his mother, Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth) was raped by his father.Freddie was left shocked at the revelation and left the room to get some water, causing worry among his loved ones.Kat began to panic when she realised Freddie had disappeared, sparking a search party for the teen.And whilst Billy privately admitted to Alfie he felt he made a mistake not raising Freddie as his own - it was Gina (who had been outside to take cocaine) who came across the teen on the roof of the Queen Vic.As Freddie confided in Gina he recalled his mum never being seen with a man and her fear when the door was not locked.Gina deemed his mother a very strong woman, and Freddie told Gina that he couldn't see his father again.The teen returned to his loved ones just as Kat reported him missing to the police, prompting everyone to leave as he wanted to be alone.In his bedroom, we saw him listen to a voicemail from Graham, who said how excited he and his daughters were to see Freddie.In tears, Freddie was then seen deleting Graham's number.Following the emotional episode, fans flocked to social media to share their thoughts on the drama.@MarkySciFi1980 said: "Truly heartbreaking aw Freddie"And @yasmin_ali10 added: "In tears, Caught the end very quickly omg oh Freddie." @niallhoran wrote: " Freddie ‘s acting (Bobby) tonight was world class - so good!
