Arrival – Sophie Lawrence – EastEnders
Who's she playing? Diane Butcher of course, like she used to all those years ago. She turns up for her sister Janine's wedding, which is nice.
Should we be excited? Well, it's always nice to see an old favourite return, isn't it? But it does make us feel old that she left the soap over 20 years ago in 1991 (though she has been back a few times since, most recently in 2008).
