EastEnders has been rocked by more returns than a school reunion lately, as well as a brand new family arriving in Walford.
Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) is set to come back from the dead in upcoming scenes alongside her husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyat) as the pair make their way back to the Square.
Fans also learned Kim Medcalf is heading back to the show as Sam Mitchell later in the year for a major story that will see her son Ricky (Frankie Day) expecting to welcome a bay with his 12-year-old mum-to-be Lily Slater (Lillia Turner).
And now, another familiar face is set to rock up to Albert Square in the form of a former member of the Mitchell clan – Lisa Fowler.
Lucy Benjamin is to reprise her role as the drama magnet for the first time in three years.
But as Lisa returns, many are wondering if her daughter Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) will be coming with her. Here’s what we know.
Is Louise Mitchell returning to EastEnders?
It looks unlikely that Louise Mitchell will be returning to the Square alongside her mother.
Lisa’s return is only set to be a temporary one, and because of this, Metro.co.uk understands there are no plans for Louise to come back.
Fans last saw Louise in 2020 when she left the Square with her mother Lisa during a tumultuous time in her life as she struggled with losing her best friend Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite).
Louise left the Square shortly after giving birth to Peggy, the daughter of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), who accompanied the pair to Portugal.
Louise’s motivation for leaving followed the explosive revelation that Keanu had been sleeping with her stepmother Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), with Louise believing she had had Keanu killed after arranging his death.
However, Keanu was helped by Martin Fowler (James Bye) to fake his death, eventually returning to the soap to shack up with Sharon to raise their own child, Albie.
When Lisa returns, she’ll be with Peggy – creating a messy situation for Keanu and Sharon.
It is unclear yet why Lisa is bringing Peggy to Keanu, or why Louise is not with the pair when they arrive, but we’re sure there will be plenty of drama afoot with Louise back and in close proximity to her ex Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
On her comeback, Lucy Benjamin said: ‘I can’t wait to make my return as Lisa Fowler again after leaving for Spain with Louise and granddaughter Peggy, back in 2019.
‘No doubt, in true Lisa fashion, she will bring with her plenty of drama for many of the characters on the Square, which is why playing her is such a delight.’
