NEWEST UPDATE!!! EastEnders confirms return of familiar face this month in new advanced spoilers

EastEnders spoilers have confirmed that a familiar face will return to Walford later this month. As Albert Square comes to terms with the events of the wedding night that changes everything, which former character is making a surprise comeback… and for what reason?

Last month, when asked about whether there might be some more returning characters in the future, executive producer Ben Wadey teased: “I would keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks; there may be a couple of nice surprises on the horizon.”
