returning on New Year's Day, what other characters can you see returning in 2016?

I definitely think we'll be seeing a return from Lucas & Jordan.

I've been convinced for a while Max, Lauren and Tanya will all return next summer/Autumn.

Charlie (Slater) is returning in January.

I also strongly believe we'll be seeing a return from Grant & Peggy. It all seems to be coming into place, and with the amount of media coverage a couple of months ago, and Ross Kemp claiming 'I can't really say anything' I'll be surprised if he doesn't return.

Can't see Zainab coming back however. I really did think she'll be back this year, with all the Masood stuff, but nothing. I don't think the bosses want Zainab back.

Any others?

Lou have you not seen all the threads saying she returns on 21 Dec?

edit. weird how EEhave now posted castlist for 21st when it had been missing.

I hope all the fillers or whatever she had done on her face have worn off

Personally I don't want her back and feel she might ruin the new years day Carter focused ep.

A recasted Zoe Slater is possible.

Lucas, Jordan, Peggy, Grant, Queenie Trott

and I'm sure Max and Lauren will return from their breaks during 2016 not so sure about Tanya though

I'd love if Glenda made a full time return later on in the year with a RECASTED Danny Mitchell.

I also wouldn't mind a brief return of Chelsea, we've seen Libby back enough times for visits so why not Chelsea for once?

could also see Kathy's brother Ted Hills possibly making a come back

finally I'd love if Jan Harvey continued making occasional appearances as Gavin's sister as I feel theres alot more to explore with her.

While some people would argue that DTC has/is brought back/bringing back far too many characters during his tenure I personally think he has handled the majority of them well and done them for good reason!!

It's possible they could have a funeral off screen, so it solves the problem of trying to get all of them to return.

No?

I've looked, but it says she's only credited on the 1st.

I'm not too bothered about the Carters anyways (Although I am looking forward to the water stunt), and I think Glenda was a great character. The more Mitchell drama, the better IMO, but each to their own.

The radio times has her credited for the 21st (according to whats been posted) there have been a few threads since last week, also saying that

appears on the same day

EE had posted up cast lists excluding the 21st but for the days after till today hen they have added it.

yes actually now that you say it that is more than likely what they'll do especially considering he doesn't live on the square anymore

I'd quite like to see all the characters who aren't Carters, Mitchells, Beales or Dot axed. Denise can stay but she has to marry a Carter, a Mitchell, a Beale or Dot or else it's no deal.

Then I'd bring back Chrissie, Janine and David and lock every single cast member into a 5 year contract. If they refuse I'll send J-B round to kick the living shit out of them.

I'm getting a bit fed up with constant returns particularly the guest 1-2 episode ones. I want to see some fresh blood in the cast, interesting and dynamic characters but not for them to be introduced then not scene for two months. That would be nice but probably too much to expect. Thanks

Surely Ryan has got to come back eventually at some stage too! otherwise that makes his brief appearance both random and pointless

I agree, we are long overdue some new families. Although, I have to admit, I do like guest reappearances for better continuity.

Fingers crossed for Zainab. Masood mentioning that development about her not wanting anything to do with the family is surely leading somewhere. At least I hope so.

Maybe the producers want to make sure that Nina Wadia's schedule is free, so that they don't have the same problems as they did with Samantha Womack's return. Ronnie went on so many breaks, and it's only the last 6-7 months that she has consistently been on TV.

I took that as the explanation for why Zainab isn't coming back, she didn't have the happiest of times on the Square so I cant see why she would return, her children with the exception of Kamil are old enough to go and visit her in Pakistan if they wish and yet another reunion with Masood would be silly

What about bringing back some of Albert Square's ramdom character's like Sarah Cairns?

I think Alison Pargeter needs to return because in her last Eastenders stunt, they never really gave her character of Sarah Cairns a chance in Walford, and her storyline ended just weeks after it started with her exiting, never been seen again since, and that was a really big shame because it was a waste of a good talented actress and Eastenders should have kept her in the show, plus she deffently does deserve an Eastenders comeback because in Sarah's last stunt, she had some very unfinished business to attend with, and there is still more stories that need to be told about Sarah, and it's time she must comeback seeing now we have a recasted Martin Fowler in the show

Less realistic ones I'd like to see:

Zainab
Janine
Chrissie Watts
