Who is Jed in EastEnders, and how old is he? Who is Harry to Frankie? Link explained

EastEnders fans want to know all about who Jed is, his link to Frankie and their shared link to a character named Harry.

Youngster Harry died off screen before the characters were introduced, but he was revealed to be the late younger brother of Frankie.

Frankie dropped a bombshell on Mick Carter late last year when she revealed she was his daughter.

Mick didn't realise it was true until he learned her mother was his former care worker Katy Lewis, who sexually abused him when he was 12 years old.

Horrifying scenes recently confirmed there were other victims too, including newcomer Jed - but how old is Jed, and is he Harry's dad?

However, it was revealed in a recent episode that he was in fact Harry's dad - but agreed to keep silent about it, also hiding the fact Katy abused him.

Jed had stayed in Harry's life prior to his death, and was visiting his grave to pay his respects too before the truth came out.

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
