Patsy Palmer will be returning to EastEnders as Bianca Jackson tonight after exiting the BBC programme five years ago.
Patsy will reprise her role as part of the Whitney Dean exit storyline, seeing the actor star in episodes taking place in Milton Keynes.
During a recent appearance on The One Show, the 51-year-old actor said: "I remember coming onto the other lot and just feeling so surreal because there was Pete Beale and Dot Cotton - I just remember feeling in awe of everybody.
"It always feels new - you always want to go back with a fresh head. You never really want to go back with the same head - I'm not here with the same mindset that I was when I left.
"It's a fresh experience, but in exactly the same place."

She also discussed her character's infamous relationship with Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen), adding: "Sid and I have a chemistry - we've been friends since we were kids anyway cause we went to drama school together.
"We already had a friendship before I came onto EastEnders - I think that's why they put us together as our chemistry is brilliant."
The storyline will feature two special flashback episodes, showing the couple visiting Bianca after an unexpected pregnancy.
The episodes will air on Monday (March 4) and Tuesday (March 5).
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
