Emma Barton in EastEnders

Emma joined the EastEnders cast in 2005.

She left the show in 2008 but made a brief return in 2014 before returning to the role permanently the following year,

Recently Honey’s relationship with Jay Brown came to an end and she reunited with ex-husband Billy Mitchell.

As she got back together with Billy, they both got a shock when Little Mo’s son Freddie arrived in Walford believing Billy to be his dad.

Later Billy got another shock when he learnt he has been set up for a murder and could be facing life behind bars.

As Freddie tried his best to help Billy, Honey pleaded with him to tell Freddie the truth about his dad.

Eventually Freddie found out that Billy wasn’t his dad when Billy’s cousin Phil told him in a fit of a rage.
