Hollyoaks announced Charlie Clapham's return to the role of Freddie in January.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy at the time, Charlie commented: "It's very explosive. I don't know how to say this without being too R-rated, but Freddie is always in a position where he's either about to run, fight someone or potentially have sex! There's those three in every single scene!
"From what I've read and heard, Freddie is as glorious and flawed as he was before. It's going to be great to play that out. It just makes any interaction that Freddie has with older characters great as there's a history there, and it's brilliant with the new characters too."
Hollyoaks airs Freddie's return on Tuesday, April 2 on Channel 4 Streaming and Wednesday, April 3 on E4.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
