Billy Jackson to make 'EastEnders' return

Sonia Jackson's long-lost brother Billy will return to Walford later this year, The Sun reports today.

Billy, played by actor Devon Anderson, was last seen in 1997 after he witnessed a crime, forcing the Jackson family out of the Square on a protection programme.

Now the character will be coming back as a special guest at Sonia's wedding to Martin Fowler, although producers are as-yet unsure whether to bring back Devon or cast a new actor in the role.

Also due back for the storyline is Dean Gaffney, who plays Sonia's older brother Robbie.
