EastEnders legend Kacey Ainsworth has been a huge topic of conversation among fans of the BBC soap this week, after dramatic scenes saw Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) follow in mum Little Mo\u2019s footsteps by beating Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) with an iron.<\/p>\n
With actor Alex McSweeney having returned to the role of Graham Foster as Freddie discovered the horrific truth behind his conception, fans have been wondering if Kacey may be set to head back to Albert Square as Little Mo, 18 years after her exit.<\/p>\n
Though fans are desperate to see the return of the youngest Slater sister, it seems we may be waiting a while longer, as Kacey is a very busy woman, having had an exceptionally successful career outside of EastEnders.<\/p>\n
And it seems that the grind never stops, with Kacey having just announced her next role on social media.<\/p>\n

\u2018Amazing!\u2019 Another added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter\/X have been calling for Kacey to return to EastEnders, as Freddie headed off to visit Little Mo at the end of the most recent instalment.<\/p>\n

Bobby Brazier is currently taking a break from the show in order to compete in Strictly Come Dancing, but Metro.co.uk can confirm that his exit is only temporary.<\/p>\n
With Freddie set to eventually return to the Square, fans are desperate for Little Mo to tag along with him.<\/p>\n
It looks unlikely that Little Mo will be back any time soon with Kacey so busy working on other projects, but we\u2019re still hoping that maybe one day the stars will align\u2026<\/p>\n
