Linda Carter is in for a shock later this year when Nancy and Lee Carter return to Walford, with Maddy Hill and Danny Hatchard reprising their roles on EastEnders.
The family has weathered plenty in their absence, so their upcoming reunion may not be entirely smooth. While the reason for their return is yet to be revealed, stepping back into the Carter fold is rarely without complications.
On her return, Maddy Hill says: “I am SO excited to be returning to Enders for a short stint and stepping back into Nancy’s shoes (or basketball shorts!). I’ve missed her! I’m especially looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces and acting alongside my incredible on-screen family.”
On his return, Danny Hatchard says: “I’m absolutely over the moon to be returning to EastEnders as Lee Carter. Albert Square has always felt like a home away from home, so I’m proper buzzing to be back grafting with the Enders family.”
Executive Producer, Ben Wadey added: “We are absolutely thrilled to have Maddy and Danny back in Walford, bringing two much-loved pieces of the Carter family back together. And whilst Linda is delighted to have her children all together again, she’s got a lot to catch up on…”
