Exciting news!
Former EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa has hinted that her character, Lauren Branning, could be making a return to Albert Square.
Lauren Branning's departure from Walford came back in 2018, following the tragic death of her sister Abi.
Lauren and Abi fell from the roof of the Queen Vic pub in a freak accident, with just Lauren surviving the fall.
Following her heartbreaking loss, Lauren and her lover Peter Beale fled London to start a new life in New Zealand.
