Poll: Who should return for 'EastEnders' 25th?
Published Friday, Sep 18 2009, 19:33 BST | By Kris Green | 53 comments
Last week, I asked if you're excited about Emma Atkins's return to Emmerdale as Charity Tate.
Well, you voted in your thousands and your overwhelming response is 'Yeah, I can't wait!'. Nearly three-quarters (70.2%) of those polled are looking forward to her screen comeback on Thursday, October 1.
Meanwhile, 17.1% don't understand why the producers made the decision to write the character back into the show and the remaining 12.7% are yet to be convinced.
I'm a big fan of Emma's and was extremely pleased that series producer Gavin Blyth manages to lure her back with the promise of a big storyline.
Then when I saw the trailer promoing her return, I realised that this is potentially one of the best moves Emmerdale's made in a long time.
It's no secret that the show's been through a troublesome time over the past 12 to 18 months and Gavin's made a series of positive signings since he took office in January. In my eyes, though, managing to persuade Emma to sign on the dotted line was him dealing his first ace card.
I've yet to see her first episodes - I'm hoping the post person hurries the hell up! - so I could change my mind when I see the comeback on screen, but I highly doubt it.

Moving onto this week's poll now, in which I ask 'Who do you think should return for 'EastEnders' 25th anniversary?'
As you've probably all read, EastEnders is to broadcast its first ever live episode on Friday, February 19 2010 at 8pm to mark its 25th anniversary.
With that in mind, there's been a lot of speculation on the forums as to which faces from the show's rich back catalogue could return for its special week of silver anniversary episodes. So I thought, 'Let's have an official poll'. And here it is in all its glory...
All you have to do is select your THREE choices. If your ideal returnee isn't there, then simply choose the 'other' option and type away.
Don't forget, if you choose the 'other' option, to name your selection!
