EastEnders star Steve McFadden has praised the decision to bring Letitia Dean back to the soap.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Dean had signed up to reprise her role as Sharon Watts and will return to screens in the summer.
Reflecting on the news, McFadden - who plays Phil Mitchell - told The People: "We've a lot of history in the show. When Letitia was here, it was the golden era of EastEnders.
"I'm happy about her returning. I reckon they must have some good plots in the pipeline for us.
"Letitia is a pretty lady so they'll probably put her behind the bar or give her a central storyline. Now she's coming back, I'm sure it will be brilliant."
Sharon's love triangle with Phil and his brother Grant was one of EastEnders' most memorable plotlines in the '90s.
Storyline details for Sharon's return are currently being kept under wraps, but Dean has said that she "cannot wait" to find out what is in store for the character.
