The Mirror reported at the weekend that Alex McSweeney had signed up to return to Albert Square and reprise his role as vile criminal Graham Foster – and now bosses have confirmed the news
EastEnders bosses have confirmed they are bringing back a major villain after he has been absent from Albert Square for almost two decades.
Show villain Graham Foster – played by actor Alex McSweeney – is due to return to Walford after almost 18 years.
The character was last seen from behind bars when he taunted Billy Mitchell about being the father of Freddie – the son of Little Mo Slater, who Graham had befriended and then raped, leading to Freddie’s conception.
In recent weeks, fans of the BBC1 soap have seen Freddie asking questions about his paternity – with the Slater family keeping tight-lipped on the circumstances surrounding his father.
