Keep scrolling to know more.
Bea Walks In With A Past Linda Doesn’t Want Back
Ronni Ancona is known for her comedy work and also for her impressions on The Big Impression. And now she has officially joined the BBC soap as Bea. However, they haven’t revealed Bea’s surname yet. And if you think about it, it seems like her past is important than anyone else. Elsewhere, her first appearance is connected to Linda Carter’s high school reunion.
Moreover, Linda will remember her school years in one way. However, Bea remembers something entirely different. And now two people are going to meet with memories that are completely different from one another. And this is why we might get to see trouble in Linda’s life. Bea’s appearance is not meant only for a guest role; rather, she has layers. Elsewhere, with her personality, she is likely to clash with Walford residents.

Also, while describing her, the show stated that Bea would leave an impact on everyone she meets. It means she isnt a background character. She will be in the centre of the upcoming chaos. Elsewhere, Linda will be the one who feels the impact first.
Ronni spoke about joining the show and is honoured to be part of something as huge as EastEnders. She also shared that Bea is unpredictable and complex. And that means viewers won’t get a simple introduction. The actress even said she hopes fans enjoy Bea as much as she enjoyed bringing her alive on set.
EastEnders Prepares For Bea’s Arrival
Ben Wadey also confirmed that Bea will leave a great impact. He says she is mysterious and even praises Ronni’s talent. Also, Ronnie has already started filming for her character. And this means fans will not have to wait longer to see her. Elsewhere, it’s basically a school reunion of Bea and Linda. And it will air in early 2026. However, exact dates have not been revealed yet.
Moreover, this storyline will get personal for Linda. She has already been dealing with many stresses. And this new face will surely bring trouble to her doorstep. Bea will show up at a reunion. And maybe the secrets that Linda never wanted to face again will be revealed.

We also got a hint that Bea will get mixed up in Walford easily. And that means she won’t disappear quickly after the reunion. With Ronni Ancona stepping into the Square, viewers know the drama will not stay quiet. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
