EastEnders fans will see two familiar faces back in Walford next week after some time offscreen.

A third return could feature in scenes too if fans are correct about an upcoming storyline. Amid two huge storylines, including the fallout to a DNA plot and a character going missing after suffering psychosis, two residents are confirmed to be featuring in new scenes.

Cindy Beale is back on the Square next week, just weeks after she fled to go and visit her daughter Cindy Jr - with her returning at a time her ex George Knight needs support after his recent DNA discovery. George recently found out the truth behind his adoption, and this week a shocking murder twist sees him finding out what really went on in his childhood.

George will be left struggling in the fallout after learning all about his past, and what his adoptive parents have been hiding for decades. Meanwhile, Cindy Jr had no idea her mum was alive and didn't really die in 1998, with her mum having been in witness protection the entire time right up until last year when she came back from the dead on the show.

Cindy Jr will no doubt struggle with this news given her mother seemingly died while giving birth to her, leaving her feeling guilty for much of her life. But Cindy Sr will return next week, shortly after leaving to pay a visit to her daughter - so what goes down, and could it lead to the return of Cindy Jr?

Viewers certainly think so, believing now is the time for the character to return to the show for the first time since 2015. But whether Cindy does join her mum in Walford is yet to be known, while there is a second confirmed character comeback airing next week.

Spoilers reveal that we will be seeing more of serial killer Lucas Johnson, after his surprise return in a recent episode. His ex Denise Fox went to see him in prison, as she continues to hide the events from Christmas Day from her loved ones.

Denise's mental health has spiralled and next week she flees Walford, struggling to cope with what happened. Viewers know that Denise was one of six women involved in the murder of Keanu Taylor, with them then burying his body under the floor of the café.

Denise is experiencing psychosis and after visiting Lucas recently hoping for some clarity from her killer husband, she goes to see him again next week amid her sparking concern with her loved ones. As she visits Lucas, will she end up confessing her sins?

It's not too clear what happens there, but by the end of the week everyone is concerned for her. Denise ends up rushing off out of Walford before fleeing into the woods - but will anyone come to her rescue?
