In recent months, viewers have watched on as Laurie Brett returned to her role as Jane Beale, for the first time since 2017.

Elsewhere, Patsy Palmer has returned as Bianca Butcher. At first, it was to accompany Whitney Dean’s exit storyline as Shona McGarty departed the soap, but she has since been on a warpath to free her sister Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) from prison.

Just some of the other returns include Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Penny Branning’s (Kitty Castledine) arrival back in Walford, as well as Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) making their comeback.
