In other EastEnders news, it was recently confirmed that Bianca Jackson will be returning to Albert Square once again.

Star Patsy Palmer revealed this week that her character will be back as she tries to prove Sonia’s innocence, with Sonia facing charges for Reiss Colwell’s murder of comatose wife Debbie.

“Before she left the Square, Bianca felt that something wasn’t right with Reiss and he was up to something,” she said.

“She was putting two-and-two together after getting little clues about him here and there, and she was right! Now she’s found out that her sister is in jail for the murder of Reiss’ wife, and she’s on a mission to prove Sonia is innocent.”

Patsy added: “I think Bianca is a pretty good judge of character. Even though she can be quite chaotic, but she’s got a high level of intuition about things.

“Bianca is the only person who has been paying attention to all the red flags about Reiss.”
