EastEnders villain Graham Foster was last seen in Walford over 17 years ago.
The evil character was famously played by actor Alex McSweeney from 2003 until 2005.
Fans of the BBC One soap will remember he befriended Little Mo Mitchell (Kacey Ainsworth) when she worked as a barmaid in the Queen Vic.

One night in pub when he and Little Mo are alone, Graham refused to leave until the song that is playing on the jukebox ends.
Little Mo was unaware that he’d put the song on repeat and Graham eventually makes his intentions towards Little Mo clear by trying to kiss her.
She tried to flee, but Graham chased and raped her on the pub floor which resulted in her conceiving their son Freddie Slater.
Graham was sentenced to eight years in jail and has never made an appearance in Albert Square.
However, a grown-up Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) made a shock return to Walford in recent scenes.

However, things took a turn when Freddie introduced himself to Billy as his son.
Billy struggles with what to say to him in upcoming scenes because even though Billy and Little Mo were married at the time she was raped, he ultimately couldn’t come to terms with bringing up the rapist’s child and Mo and Freddie left Walford.
