Frank, like actor Chris, suffered cerebral palsy, who during his run on the show he lost his beloved grandfather, found himself unlucky in love and gambled away his friend's money.
Last year show star Dani Harmer, who played Tracy Beaker, was forced to pull out of a panto show at the last minute.
The actress, 35, was starring in the Beauty and the Beast as Fairy Bon Bon in Nottingham but suffered a concussion that meant someone had to stand in for her.
Taking to her Story to share the news she said she was 'absolutely gutted' at the change of plans and assured fans she would be back as 'soon as humanely possible'.
She penned: 'Absolutely gutted not to be able to do the shows today.
'I have a concussion, so under doctors orders to rest until I feel less dizzy and nauseous.
'Sending love and fairy dust to the amazing Shannon Lockey who I know will make the most magical Fairy Bon Bon.
'You guys are in for a real treat. And I will be back as soon as humanely possible.'
The star then updated fans again and said she was still suffering with dizzy spells.
