Angela Wynter returning to EastEnders
The 65-year-old star will reprise her role as Yolande Trueman, the estranged wife of Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker), this summer after six years away from Albert Square.
Angela said: "I have been really looking forward to playing her again and have had a beautiful time on set so far.
"I can’t thank the cast and crew enough for the warm welcome back."
'EastEnders' boss Chris Clenshaw added: "I'm thrilled to welcome the immensely talented Angela back to the role of Yolande Trueman.
"Although we haven't seen Yolande for some years, her departure from the Square and the breakdown of her marriage to Walford's living legend, Patrick, left some unfinished business between the pair.
"We therefore thought it was important to explore a reunion between the two. We couldn't be more thrilled to have her back!"
Yolande was a Walford resident from 2003 to 2008, and then briefly returned to Albert Square in 2017.
The news comes after it was confirmed that Michelle Collins' character Cindy Beale returned from the dead on 'EastEnders earlier this month, 25 years after she had seemingly been killed off.
Michelle said: "For over 25 years I’ve constantly been asked ‘are you going back’ and now finally I can say I am!
"It’s an honour to be asked to reprise the role of Cindy Beale, a character that has really never left me, and just like the old days, where Cindy goes, drama usually follows."
Adam Woodyatt is also reprising his role as Cindy's ex-husband Ian Beale, and Thomas Law is returning as the pair's on-screen son Peter Beale, after initially portraying the role from 2006 to 2010.
