Maisie Smith is returning to EastEnders
The 20-year-old actress was last seen as Tiffany Butcher - a role she landed when she was just six years old - in Albert Square in December but she's agreed to return for a cameo appearance as part of Zack Morris' exit storyline as her alter ego's ex-husband Keegan Baker.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Bosses felt Tiffany had unfinished business with Keegan that needed a resolution before he left.
“So they decided to ask her back for one episode. Viewers will have to wait to see if they manage to fix their relationship or whether the bad blood that we’ve seen between them continues.”
Maisie announced she was leaving the show in October and the lead-up to her exit saw Keegan cheat on Tiffany with Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero).
Announcing her departure at the time, she said: “It’s time to say farewell to Tiff.
"I’ve grown up on 'EastEnders' since 2008, and have learned from the best.”
Zack confirmed earlier this week he was walking away from Walford after five years.
He said in a statement: "After five beautiful years on this incredible show, I have made the tough decision to leave Walford and give Keegan Butcher-Baker some well-earned rest.
"This show has quite frankly changed my life for the better. It will always hold a real loving place in my heart. The cast and crew of this show deserve every accolade that comes their way. The hard work, love and dedication that goes into making four episodes a week is immense and it's not to be taken lightly.
"This show has given me so much, not just as an actor but as a man. These invaluable lessons I have learned at 'EastEnders' will stay with me for the rest of my life. I will forever see this whole experience as the biggest blessing I could have ever asked for. I loved every second."
