EastEnders has confirmed a romantic exit story for Anna Knight and Freddie Slater next week, as the pair finally head off into the sunset together. But it seems their departure won't be smooth-sailing if Anna's sister Gina has anything to do with it.

Over the past year, viewers have been watching Anna and Freddie navigate various obstacles amid their frustrating will-they-won't-they relationship. The pair had to put their mutual attraction aside as Anna dated Freddie's best friend Bobby Beale.

Things didn't become any easier when Bobby was finally out of the picture, as Freddie had a one-night stand with Gina last Christmas ? leaving Anna devastated. Though the pair managed to repair their friendship, they reverted back to hiding their true feelings for each other.

Last night's (17 November) episode saw Freddie's cousin Zoe playing matchmaker after she noticed a spark between the youngsters. At the pub quiz, she sent over some drinks for a delighted Anna, saying they were from Freddie.

With the ice broken, Anna admitted how much she appreciated the kind gesture and the pair shared a touching moment. Zoe's meddling appears to have done the trick, as next week will see a big development for Freddie and Anna's relationship.

In upcoming episodes, Anna reveals her travel plans to Freddie, telling him she's going on an exciting holiday to Australia.

Fueled by their reignited feelings, Freddie offers to accompany her on the trip ? which Anna happily agrees to.

However, their joy isn't shared by Gina, who makes her thoughts abundantly clear. She tells them that taking a trip together isn't a good idea, especially when they're traveling to the other side of the world.

Will Anna listen to her big sister's qualms, or could this be the happily ever after she's been desperate for?
