'EastEnders' exec teases possible character comeback

EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has teased that a former character could make a return to the soap.

Asked if there is anyone he would like to bring back to Albert Square, Kirkwood admitted that there is but refused to name the individual.

"I'm going to keep that close to my chest for now," he told ITV's This Morning. When questioned if this was because it "might happen", he responded: "Very possibly."

Since taking over from Diederick Santer, the former Hollyoaks executive has overseen the returns of Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie as Kat and Alfie Moon.

It was also recently announced that Nicola Stapleton will reprise her role as Mandy Salter, 17 years after leaving Walford.

Meanwhile, discussing the characters who will have an "eventful" summer in the programme, Kirkwood said: "Well there's a few actually. The Moon Brothers - Tyler, Michael and Anthony. Eddie has his fair share. Max and Tanya have a bundle of fun over the summer months as well."
