Tune into EastEnders early next year and you could be forgiven for thinking that you're watching an old episode on UKTV Gold.
Last week it was revealed that Ricky and Bianca would be returning to Albert Square and now it turns out that Janine and Diane are also making a comeback.
The pair will return for Frank Butcher's funeral - EastEnders' bosses are to kill the character off after actor Mike Reid's death earlier this year.
It's possible that even more vintage characters will return for the special episodes. Is all this fuss over the return of these stars a sign that the current cast aren't up to scratch and the show's not as good as it used to be?

Posted by: guyhadden on Sun Nov 18 10:27PM | Report abuseWhy call for a ban on East Enders ? why don,t you just stop watching it,quite simple,press a button on yr remote,on,off or change channel,some people do enjoy it you know.Something else that makes me laugh,why do people come on here and say "get a life"?would that be the same exciting life that they obviously have,a life that is so exciting that the highlight of their day is to comment on a message board they have no interest in,wow you really know how to live,you must share your secret.
