What is Bobby Beale up to in EastEnders and who is his friend?

Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) hasnt had the easiest time of it since his return to Albert Square last month.

Hes clearly been struggling to adapt to life back in Walford since he was released from prison, and his return hasnt been without drama either.
