I always loved Chelsea, she was was played by Tiana Benjamin in the late 00s and I'm surprised but happy to see that the character has been on several ''forgotten EastEnders characters'' lists in various media platforms this week with many calling for her return.

Is it time she was brought back?

Absolutely. I've been arguing for her return for a few weeks now. Let's see how she is a bit older and several years away from the Square.

There would be a clear reason for Chelsea to return. Her mum needs help more than anything else. Denise's personal turmoil, drinking and struggles to care for Patrick suggest that one of her daughters comes back to support her. Plus Kim is giving birth soon so the Foxes need an extra pair of hands around the house. Kim could make an anonymous phone call which leads to her onscreen return, surprising Denise in the process.

For work, she could watch Blades for a while (it's doubtful Dean will be back there) and make use of her beautician experience at Booty to offer such services in addition to the hairdressers. Or have a chat with Sharon about working at The Albert. Chelsea worked at The Vic in the past and she is supposed to have done bar work while in Spain all this time.

Chelsea was one of my favourites during that period, I'd welcome her return. I think she'd work brilliantly with Kim too.

I'd like her to come back - certainly rather she came back than Libby.

I think it would be good for Denise as well.

I wasn't a fan of the character but I liked the actress, I guess if she had quality storylines.

Both Chelsea and Libby need to return if the Truemans and Fox's will play a big part in the show!

I don't really understand why people on here want her to come back- she was a poor character played by a weak actress.

That said, Chelsea coming back could probably work if she were recasted. With the original actress though? No, I really wouldn't want her back.

She was on Casualty a few weeks ago. In that same episode her character's boyfriend was played by James Alexandrou (previous Martin Fowler). Plus the episode featured Joel Beckett who was Jake Moon.

In 2012 she appeared in the movie Fast Girls.

According to IMDb she's scheduled to appear in a BBC drama called The Interceptor this year. Jo Joyner (Tanya) is listed in that too.

She was boring, unlikeable and forgettable. Plus she was played by one of the worst actresses ever cast in EE. No thanks.

Totally agree little-monster, she was terrible, she was like a female version of Dexter (with a little bit of Fats).

She's one who I'd be open to see return, same for Jake Moon. Libby wouldn't suit a return because her life is not compatible with the square really, what would someone with a Phd do in the square, probably end up cleaning the Vic or working in Ian's caf.

Oh dear. She was nothing like Dexter - or Fatboy.

I too hope she comes back. Denise's family need a bit of a boost.

Libby can stay in Oxford.

Libby would be far more interesting. Unless they've done a major remodelling of Chelsea, and she's learned to act, or been recast.

FatBoy is a great character. He wasn't to start with, but then they very rarely are. They grow into their character, and character grows around them. Or it doesn't, which was Dexter.

YES. Yes.

The character had the worst exit. Mum who she believed to be dead comes back from the dead and her serial killer father gets arrested, so logically, she disappears to live in Spain with her sisters abusive fathers mother? Don't buy it. Chelsea loved Denise and hated Liz.

She was never given storylines to get her teeth into as an actress or for us to appreciate her as a character. She had the potential pregnancy storyline, but no that went to Amira. She had the potential drug addiction storyline, but no that got cleaned up before it got started. I think she should return.

The character has so many links and potential links to the square. She'd be a great addition to the Shabnam/Stacey friendship relighting the trio that was Shabnam/Dawn/Carly. Not to mention her family!! Denise's obvious slow burning alcoholism, Kim's premature baby and Patrick's stroke... why hasn't she come back?

I saw tiana Benjamin on the tube in London yesterday and was shocked to see that she has something seriously wrong with her right eye now. It was 100% her and I can't find anything online that mentions her having an injury?! It was very bad her whole right eye was pointing in the wrong direction.

Judging by this 6-year old comment, it appears that she may have had a long term eye issue:
