freddie slater (also mitchell), played by twins alex and tom kilby, was conceived in late 2003 when his mother, little mo mitchell (kacey ainsworth), was raped by her friend, graham foster (alex mcsweeney). her refusal to abort the baby caused the break-up of her marriage to her husband billy mitchell (perry fenwick). little mo stayed with her sister, belinda peacock (leanne lakey), where she gave birth to freddie. in november 2004, after graham is sentenced to eight years imprisonment, little mo and billy make another attempt at their marriage, but they separate again after billy admits that he struggles to accept freddie. freddie then lives at the slater household with little mo, her grandmother mo harris (laila morse), her father charlie slater (derek martin) and her cousin stacey slater (lacey turner).
