SHOCK RETURN!!! EastEnders brings back two absent characters tonight – here’s who returns

EastEnders has welcomed two characters back to Walford, as two major secrets are finally exposed.

Anthony Trueman made his first appearance in the show since 2014 in today’s episode, arriving in Walford for a few days ahead of his dad Patrick and Yolande’s wedding.

As he stepped out of the taxi, he reunited with his ex, Kat, and the pair had a friendly catch-up. But when she brought up Patrick, it became clear that he had no idea about his dad’s attack.

Anthony was furious as he gradually uncovered what happened to Patrick and was even angrier when Jack told the family that his dad’s case was being closed due to lack of evidence.

Jack secretly knew the truth though, with Oscar having accidentally admitted that he was responsible last week.

He later told Denise that Oscar is the culprit, so she confronted the teen himself. This was the final straw for guilty Oscar, who went round and finally confessed to Patrick. How will he be punished?

Meanwhile, Lily Slater made a quiet return to Albert Square, having been staying with her dad Ryan since May.

She was meant to come back earlier this month, but the teen scrapped her plans after Joel leaked Stacey’s SecretCam photos and videos online.

Stacey finally managed to persuade her daughter to come home, saying that her online ordeal had blown over – but in today’s episode Lily realised that her mum was still receiving abusive messages.

After a blazing row with Kat and Alfie about this, Tommy began helping Joel wipe stolen phones for Harry – and he found his mum’s missing phone.

He listened to the voicemail that Alfie left last month from Spain, where he admitted everything about his secret search to find Kat’s daughter Zoe.

With Tommy set to confront Alfie about his lies this week, what will he decide to do about this bombshell information?
