EastEnders fans have suspected that one of the most iconic characters can return to the soap anytime. But who are they speaking about? It is none other than Max Bowden. He is the sixth actor on the soap who played the character Ben Mitchell. Whereas Ben Wadey has taken over as the new executive producer of the soap in February 2025. Now the fans have suspected some clues on their social media which might point towards the actor’s comeback.
EastEnders’ Iconic Ben Mitchell To Make A Comeback?
EastEnders’ new executive producer, Ben Wadey, has taken over the role of Chris Clenshaw. He had worked on the soap earlier as a storyline and story editor between 2019 and 2020. He was also the commissioning executive for Channel 4 for years. EastEnders fans keep their eyes on Ben’s every moment, and now it seems they have noticed something. He is following Max Bowden. The 30-year-old actor has been part of the soap from 2019 till 2024.
Max had confrontations with the producers. They told him that his character isn’t going to get a renewal. He was told that it all was happening because of his party-loving nature and forever-changing love life, which has made the viewers ecstatic. But the situation seems to be changing. As the fans think that following each other on social media can be a huge sign that Max is returning.
Fans Suspect Wadey Considering Renewing Bowden’s Character
One of the fans wrote, “He was interviewed in this week’s Inside Soap. Full of praise for the live episode and Steve McFadden’s recent acting.” The viewer continued by writing, “It seems that he is trying to get people interested in his new project instead of trying to make a return back to the soap.” Another viewer replied, “So I can’t see him coming back anytime soon, honestly,” and added that ‘fans are not getting a new fifth head.’
Whereas another fan replied that ‘the two follow each other, and it is possible that they might be in touch about Max’s comeback.’ The viewer further penned, “But I don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon.” The actor stays busy and booked, the fan explained. Time will tell if we see Max back on the soap or not. Also, if the fans’ suspicion is true. If it is, we would love to see him back anytime soon!
