EastEnders fans were delighted when Libby Fox returned to Walford after a decade. But the returnee soon clashes with her sister and secretly steals a ‘one-thousand-pound’ cheque sent by serial killer Gray Atkins’ relatives.

Sibling Reunion Takes A Dark Turn Over Secret Letters From Gray Atkins
Libby arrived after Chelsea Fox reached out to her after Denise’s devastating blood cancer diagnosis. The daughter returns to the Square to support her mother. But EE is known for dramas to welcome returning characters; well, that’s what happens in the Fox household.
The reunion takes a dramatic turn when the siblings clash over a hidden package involving Jordan Fox. A stressed Chelsea confessed that she had been receiving letters sent on behalf of her hospitalised son from the relatives of her abusive ex-husband.
Chelsea is terrified of her past domestic trauma and she says, “I can’t have that man know anything about my son. Not even indirectly, because Gray is evil, Libby.”
Soon, an urgent phone call from the hospital distracts her. That’s when the returning character secretly pockets the enclosed birthday card and a one-thousand-pound cheque. In fact, Viewers wonder if she is hiding a dark secret of her own.
