According to Britain’s The Sun, Eastenders star Bianca Jackson, Ricky Butcher and Grant Mitchell will all be returning to the show. As a matter of fact, new Eastenders producer Kate Oates says one of the reasons why these three actors are coming back is because she wants to apparently inject some nostalgia back into the show. Kate Oates was the head producer of ITV’s Coronation Street and is now the new boss of the BBC’s highly-rated soap.

It’s a move that both the staff of Eastenders and fans are very much looking forward to. Kate told The Sun in a new interview, “We’re going to be bringing some people back. I haven’t made the calls yet but there will definitely be two, possibly three old faces returning.”
And while Kate hasn’t revealed many details about what to expect, she did say that Bianca, Ricky, and Grant will all have comeback storylines in the next six months. Viewers should definitely be on the lookout!
