The star, who briefly played Emma Harding — Lola Pearce's estranged mum — said she 'absolutely loved' her time on the soap and would jump at the chance to reprise the role.
Speaking during a fun catch-up with Danny Dyer (who played Mick Carter), Patsy admitted she's been dropping hints ever since she left Walford.
Taking to Instagram, Patsy posted a selfie with Danny as they reunited at a Paul Strank Charitable Trust event in London.
She wrote in the caption: "With the divine @officialdannydyer who I just think is sublime at the @paulstrankcharitabletrust - what a great evening!
"I had a wonderful time on @bbceastenders I would love to be back on that show."
Fans were quick to call for her return too, as they flooded the comment section.
One wrote: "You'd be great on EastEnders 😍 Absolutely I might even start watching again."
Another added: "I would absolutely love to see you back."
In an interview with The Sun, Patsy admitted she would love a soap comeback after revealing that EastEnders was her "dream job" and a career highlight.
Speaking on the red carpet of this year's British Soap Awards, Patsy revealed: "Soap is something that I love and I loved my time at Emmerdale and my 4 years at Holby City, but then I went into EastEnders.
EastEnders fans SWITCH OFF slamming 'worst episode' as backlash grows to controversial pregnancy storyline
" EastEnders was actually my dream job, I've wanted to be in that show for years.
"If I could throw a wish out there it would be that Emma could come back to see Lexi (her granddaughter)."
Meanwhile, Danny is rumoured to be plotting his own comeback as Mick Carter.
Danny claimed to have thrown in the towel three years ago because he couldn't believe his character got paired up with Charlie Brooks' Janine and got her pregnant.
Best soap affair love triangles
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning's dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler - not realising it was caught on tape - and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street - extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn't stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband's nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price's best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride's betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well - until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert's ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair - but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair - after which she announced it to the whole pub.
Talking on Sky's Smart TV he said: "Mick's got a kid with Janine, how mad's that? That's why I left.
"They f*ing put me with Janine, I thought I've gotta fk off! It's the truth!"
However, he later revealed: 'I was off my nut a lot of that job . . . a lot of Valium and diazepam.'
He accused show chiefs of a lack of duty of care for the cast, and also said show bosses tried to stop him from drinking real beer while filming in the Queen Vic pub.
But at the NTAs, Danny said: "Bring Mick back, which is the character I played in EastEnders.
"So I could be back for it. You never found my body, f*** knows where I am - bring Mick back!"
Could a double return be on the cards?
The new EastEnders boss Ben Wadey has already brought back some iconic characters, such as Zoe Slater and Oscar Branning.
And even more returns are in the pipeline - from the likes of Max Branning, Ben Mitchell and Anthony Fox.
However, fuming EastEnders fans have recently threatened to switch off their TVs as backlash grows over a controversial pregnancy twist.
Suki's (Balvinder Sopal) twisted plan to manipulate Avani (Aaliyah James) into having a baby – just so she can raise it herself - has received a huge public backlash.
Viewers are slamming the storyline as 'unrealistic' and 'garbage', with some even vowing to ditch the soap for good.
To make matters worse, Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suddenly spiralled into a gambling problem, despite two decades of betting without a hitch.
Viewers were left scratching their heads and branding the writing "tedious" and "a challenge to watch."
Can the soap win viewers back?
EastEnders airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Call The Midwife star Helen George goes public with new boyfriend Dan Innes at Good Night, Oscar press night - after meeting 'on notorious celebrity dating app'

Helen George and her new boyfriend Dan Innes made their first public appearance as a couple while attending the Good Night, Oscar press night at London's Barbican Theatre on Wednesday evening. The Call the Midwife star, 41, was hand-in-hand with Dan, who is 10 years her senior - as they ventured out in the English capital, four months after confirming the romance. Helen looked incredible in a black lace minidress with a plunging neckline and delicate lace detailing after arriving to watch the new play, which includes former Will & Grace star Sean Hayes among its cast. She elevated her height with a pair of pointed black court heels and toted her essentials in a stud-embellished black clutch. Meanwhile, Dan looked dapper in a grey suit teamed with a light blue shirt as he beamed alongside the actress. The divorced father-of-two looked smitten, unable to take his eyes off Helen as the couple made their way into the venue. Also spotted at the star-studded event were Bruno Tonioli, Edgar Wright, Vanessa Feltz, Simon Callow, Laura Carmichael, and Richard E. Grant. TV favourite Bruno, 69, made a bold statement in a black paisley print shirt, which he wore open for a relaxed look. Actor Richard, 68, opted for a smart-casual style in a black blazer, white shirt, and black pinstripe trousers. Laura, 39, looked effortlessly chic in a flowing black dress with off-the-shoulder straps. Vanessa, 63, turned heads in a vibrant yellow floral lace dress as she smiled for the cameras. Director Edgar, 51, kept it classic in a black three-piece suit as he arrived at the theatre. The newest play to hit Broadway stars Will & Grace alum Sean Hayes, and was written by Doug Wright and directed by Lisa Peterson. The play takes place in 1958, and follows the character and star, Oscar Levant, who appears on a late-night talk show hosted by the character of Jack Paar. According to the official website, the premise follows Oscar, who 'will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar's audience—and the rest of America—won't soon forget.' Helen's outing comes after she shared loved-up Instagram snaps of the pair earlier this year. The Call The Midwife star confirmed her romance with Dan is going from strength to strength after they spent Easter together. Helen reportedly started dating Dan in January. It is believed they met on celebrity dating app Raya. The pair looked happier than ever as they posed arm in arm for a photo with friends, before sharing several snaps with her children on holiday. She captioned her post: 'A beautiful start to spring. Waters near and far.. from The Thames to Tenerife. Easter moments with friends, family and finally some vitamin D (and Rosé)' Helen shares two daughters, Wren Ivy and Lark, with her ex-partner of seven years, Jack Ashton, whom she split from in 2023. The actress was previously linked with her Call The Midwife co-star Olly Rix, who played her onscreen husband Matthew Aylward. They reportedly grew close following splits from their respective long-term partners. Olly had separated from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri, whom he had been dating since 2016. In November 2023, she was snapped leaving Olly's home, which sparked rumours of a growing connection between the pair - but they have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. However, Helen and Olly drifted apart, and after joining Raya in a bid to find love, she is now dating the property marketing agency boss. According to Dan's LinkedIn profile, he has worked in real estate for more than 25 years, and his specialist skill is that 'he sees the bigger property picture - which now activity embraces technology'. Dan split up from the mother of his two children, who are 14 and 12, Kate Wetten, in 2016. They married in 2008.

EastEnders' Patrick terrified with anxiety as he's released from hospital

EastEnders icon traumatised following shocking attack in his own home. EastEnders legend Patrick Trueman is left visibly shaken and deeply traumatised this week as he returns home from hospital following a brutal and unexpected attack that has left him riddled with anxiety. Patrick, played by the legendary Rudolph Walker, is clearly traumatised after being attacked in his own home. The once-cheerful, confident cornerstone of Albert Square now struggles to feel safe in the place he's always called home. It all starts when Patrick and Howie place a risky bet behind Yolande's back. The gamble pays off, and they walk away with £6,000, but the victory is short-lived. Yolande is furious when she finds out and calls off their wedding, leaving the household tense. While the family drown their sorrows at The Vic, trouble is quietly brewing at home. Oscar, desperate and foolish, breaks into No.20 to steal the winnings. But when Patrick unexpectedly catches him in the act, Oscar panics. In a split-second decision that would change everything, he shoves Patrick, who falls and hits the ground hard, leaving him unconscious and alone. Oscar, attempting to flee, is stopped in his tracks when Howie returns home to a nightmare. Oscar hides until he decides to make a run for it. Howie spots a figure fleeing, but can't make out who it is. Moments later, Kim and Denise walk in and find Patrick lying motionless on the floor. Panic sets in fast. Yolande and the family then rush to the hospital, where they wait helplessly for news, riddled with guilt and fear. For Yolande, the sight of Patrick fighting for his life is devastating. Their argument over the bet seemed suddenly meaningless as she fears she might lose the man she loves. Howie blames himself, while Kim and Denise are left reeling. More Trending But outside the hospital walls, suspicions were rising. Lauren begins to notice Oscar's strange and sketchy behaviour. When she confronts him, her worst fears are confirmed: Oscar has stolen Patrick's money and must be behind the attack. Patrick is released from the hospital, and with Yolande and Howie by his side, he returns home. But the attack has shaken him and knocked his confidence.
