List of East Enders Characters (2003) - Graham Foster

Graham Foster, played by Alex McSweeney, first appears as a customer in The Queen Victoria pub and befriends barmaid Little Mo Mitchell (Kacey Ainsworth). They become friends after discovering they both love crosswords and Graham gives Mo a pen to use when she does them. He also buys her a rose when a flower salesman is in the pub.

One night in pub when he and Little Mo are alone, Graham refuses to leave until the song that is playing on the jukebox ends (Mo does not know he has put the song on repeat). Graham eventually makes his intentions towards Mo clear by trying to kiss her. She tries to flee, but Graham chases her and rapes her on the pub floor. This resuls in her conceiving their son Freddie.

Little Mo's father, Charlie Slater (Derek Martin) subsequently assaults Graham, resulting in three months imprisonment and a suspension of his taxi license. Graham then sues Charlie for compensation, which is paid by Little Mo's sister Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and her husband, Alfie (Shane Richie). They offer and Graham accepts £10,000, which they have borrowed from Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs).

On 5 November 2004, Graham appears before magistrates. After Mo gives her summary of events and her husband Billy (Perry Fenwick) defends her in his testimony, the court takes a recsess. It is during this Mo witnesses Graham verbally abusing his mother, Mo feels sorry for her while explaining that it reminds her of how her late husband Trevor spoke to her. Once back in the courtroom, Graham lies under oath claiming that he sees his other children often (who were also born by means of rape), only for the judge to reveal its been over a long number of years since he last had. With this Graham gets into a rage from the dock, shouting at his mother knowing that she has informed the judge of this. He is eventually sentenced to eight years in prison. It is before the case starts, that Mrs Foster tells Mo that she is upset at having another grandchild she cannot see, so Mo gives Mrs Foster her address and asks her to remain in contact.

Graham last appears in January 2005 when Billy goes to visit him in prison after receiving a visiting order, which he requested. Graham goads Billy about not being Freddie's real father and points out Freddie has siblings, two sisters. He tells Billy that Freddie will probably look like him, and he is looking forward to seeing him when he is released in four years time, although has never made another appearance in the square.
