EastEnders could be in for a double blast from the past. One fan favourite is openly begging to come back, while another is teasing a surprise return of his own. And the idea of them both walking into Walford together is enough to get viewers buzzing. Keep scrolling to know more.
EastEnders: Patsy Kensit Says She’s Ready To Play Emma Again
Patsy Kensit isn’t shy about it; she wants back in. The actress, who played Emma Harding, spoke out after crossing paths with Danny Dyer at a charity event. Sharing a selfie from the night, she called Danny “divine” and admitted she “absolutely loved” her time on the soap.
She told fans she’d jump at the chance to return as Lola Pearce’s estranged mum, and the reaction was instant. Supporters flooded her comments with pleas for a comeback. Some even claimed they’d start watching again if Emma walked into the Square.
Patsy later told a source that EastEnders was her dream job and one of her proudest career moments. She said she’d love for Emma to return to see her granddaughter, Lexi. She even admitted she’s been dropping hints to bosses for months, hoping someone will make the call. For her, the story isn’t over yet.
Danny Dyer Drops Big Mick Carter Hint
Danny Dyer, who played Mick Carter, is also stirring talk of a return. At the NTAs, he joked that Mick’s body was never found and called for his return. He left the soap in 2022, unhappy with the storyline and dealing with personal issues. But now the door seems wide open. And if he came back alongside Patsy, it could be one of the biggest TV moments of the year.
With the new boss, Ben Wadey, already bringing back names like Zoe Slater and Oscar Branning. And more returns like Max Branning and Ben Mitchell in the works, viewers are wondering if Mick and Emma could be next. But not all news from Walford is sparking joy. Fans are furious over Suki’s plan to manipulate Avani into having a baby for her to raise. Many are calling it “garbage” and “unrealistic.” Could the shock of two huge comebacks be exactly what EastEnders needs to win fans back?
