Just one day after Shane Richie revealed he is returning to EastEnders, former co-star Jessie Wallace has confirmed she is also making a comeback.
Her decision means popular couple Kat and Alfie will be reunited on the BBC show later this year.
Speaking about her return, Wallace said: "I've really enjoyed playing different roles over the last few years but am excited to slip back into Kat Slater's stilettos. I've missed her."
The actress was last seen in the soap on Christmas Day in 2005 when her character departed Walford with husband Alfie.
Since then she has appeared in ITV1 drama Wild At Heart and taken part in BBC One talent series Strictly Come Dancing.
Viewers will see Kat and Alife back in Albert Square in the autumn.
Meanwhile, some other familiar faces will be back next week as part of the soap's 25th anniversary celebrations. Carol and Robbie will both be back for Bianca's wedding and will join fellow Jackson family members Sonia and Billie, who also returned to the show recently.
Which other characters would you like to see make a comeback? We think Grant Mitchell's return is almost guaranteed later this year as part of Peggy's exit, but we'd also love to see Simon and David Wicks back in Walford. And what about a return for Mary the punk?
Let us know what you think...
