Who is Freddie’s dad?

Freddie’s dad – as Tommy worked out when he was eavesdropping on his mum’s conversation – is a man called Graham Foster (not to be confused with his Emmerdale namesake!).

He met Mo when he started drinking at The Queen Vic back in 2003.

What happened with Mo and Graham Foster?

Mo – who was married to Billy at the time – and Graham struck up a friendship, bonding over their love of crosswords. But things took a sinister turn when he stayed in the pub one night after closing. He told Mo he wouldn’t leave until his favourite song had ended – though he’d actually put it on repeat.

He then made a move on Mo and tried to kiss her. She made it clear she wasn’t interested but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He raped Mo on the floor of the pub.

What next?

When Mo found out she was pregnant, she told her family what had happened and not surprisingly, her dad Charlie was FURIOUS.

He assaulted Graham, and ended up being sent to prison and losing his taxi licence.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Graham then SUED the family for compensation.

We know! The absolute cheek of the man.
