SHOCK RETURN? EastEnders child star drops huge hint he’ll return from the DEAD six years after shock screen death
EASTENDERS child star Bleu Landau has dropped a huge hint that he’ll return from the dead six years after his shock on-screen death.
The 21-year-old played the role of Dennis Rickman Jr for five years before tragically being killed off in a boat accident for the soap’s 35th anniversary in 2020.
Five years after leaving the BBC One show, Bleu has sparked rumours that Dennis will be returning from the dead.
He took to TikTok to share a video in which he shared “Secrets of the Square”.
Bleu revealed that when filming is taking place inside The Queen Vic, you can see inside the café when you look down the bar because they are next to each other on set.
He also admitted that as a child actor, he would have to come in two hours before filming and leave two hours after filming to make sure school work was getting done.

One fan asked him if he had any plans to return, to which he replied: “Well obviously as you know, if you did watch, Dennis died on the boat party for the 35th anniversary.
“So it’ll make it a little bit hard for me to come back to EastEnders.
“However, we know how the show goes, you can never count it out, can we?,” he teased before playing the iconic Duff Duff.
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts as one said: “You should never have been killed off.”
Another person stated: “I mean they brought Kat and Kathy back from the dead.”
Somebody else commented: “I wish you were still on the square mate, there needs to be a descendent of Den Watts on the square IMHO. Could see Dennis working behind the Vic bar.”
Yet another penned: “It’s been years and I still don’t understand why you left.”
While a fifth suggested: “You could come back as a new character, as a dream scene, a flashback or hallucination.
“Recently with Nigel and Phil there has been lots of past class members returning for the hallucination scenes.”
At the time of his exit, Bleu took to social media to share an emotional post about leaving EastEnders.
He wrote: “Dennis The Menace Rickman RIP, what an amazing 4 an arf years you’ve given me.
“222 episodes and an experience I will never forget! Big thanks to the cast and crew at @bbceastenders for all your help and support over the years, I have made some life long friends.
“Sad that it’s come to an end but now on to new beginnings and am excited to see what the future holds. Bleu.”
After leaving the soap, Bleu went on to make his film debut in Guy Richie’s 2017 film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
He also appeared in comedy drama series Code 404 as well as crime drama series Grace.
In 2023, he revealed he had swapped the square for the footy pitch as he took to social media to share a snap of himself in hit kit.
Bleu wrote: “22/23 Season. It has been an unreal and unforgettable season.
