Patsy Palmer has revealed that she is in talks to appear in a US drama, after taking time off from her role in EastEnders.

Palmer, who plays Bianca in the soap, is currently on maternity leave after her fourth child Bertie was born in December.

She has previously said that she will return to EastEnders "when the time is right", but now says that she will be back on the square if the US deal doesn't go through.

She told the News of the World: "I've got a meeting but I'm sure I won't get the job. When you see me back on EastEnders you'll know I didn't!

"Instead of Hollywood, chances are I'll end up back in Borehamwood."

Palmer has said that returning to work will be difficult because she wants to spend "every minute" with Bertie. She also has three other children - Charley, 19, Fenton, 10, and Emilia, 9.

Her on-screen partner Sid Owen is also planning to take a break from EastEnders in order to pursue charity work, although the pair are tipped to make a comeback in 2012.
