Digital Spy readers have given Amira's shock EastEnders return their backing.

Last month, actress Preeya Kalidas confirmed that she will reprise her role as Syed Masood's (Marc Elliott) ex-wife Amira Shah.

Albert Square fans last saw pregnant Amira in April 2010, when she left Walford behind after discovering Syed's affair with Christian (John Partridge).

In an exclusive Digital Spy poll, 80.5% of voters backed Amira's sure-to-be dramatic return to the Masoods' lives. The remaining 19.5% are less than thrilled at the prospect of trouble for the popular Walford couple.

Details of Amira's October return are sketchy right now, but we'd guess that Dr Yusef will be involved. What could all this mean for Christian and Syed's engagement and adoption plans? We can't wait to find out.
