The character made their debut last year when they arrived as the drag artist hired by the Carter's to perform at Elaine's hen-do.
Things soon took a dramatic turn when Elaine recognised him and ordered him to leave.
The landlady was then forced to reveal to her daughter Linda (Kellie Bright) that Drew was the mystery person that her father had an affair with all those years ago.
And while Elaine and Drew managed to talk things over and put the past behind them it looks as though more drama is on the way as Drew makes a shock return in upcoming episodes.
The character is featured on the cast list for next week's episodes meaning that his return isn't far away.
The guide hints that it is a huge week for the character of Elaine as she makes a shock discovery before making a decision about her marriage to George Knight (Colin Salmon).
She starts to suspect husband George is cheating on her.
Things go from bad to worse when Junior Knight turns up and reveals George kissed his mum Sabrina on Christmas day.
It's another blow to their marriage after the drama with Cindy Beale, after George helped her relaunch The Albert.
Actor Paul, who played Sophie's dad in Peep Show, sparked rumours of a potential return after posing for a photo with Harriet, shared to the actress's Instagram, back in March.

Elaine hasn't had an easy time since arriving in Walford.
The character permanently moved to Walford with George in 2023, taking over the iconic Queen Vic pub with her daughter Linda Carter.
She recently discovered Cindy's shock affair with her stepson Junior.
The pub at the heart of Albert Square then suffered a devastating explosion that rocked Walford.
The Knight family were forced to move out until renovations were complete after they received the good news that the insurance would be paying out.
Now it seems the pub could be changing hands - after EastEnders accidentally leaked a massive spoiler.

Cain is left reeling after unexpected new discovery in Emmerdale
Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) is a man who takes risks in Emmerdale, always in the hope they'll be worth it. But pretending he's the manager of Cain Dingle's (Jeff Hordley) garage was a risk that was never, ever going to pay off. A few days ago, Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) received confirmation that she was now officially divorced from Tom King (James Chase). Once Tom's relatives Nicola and Jimmy King (Nicola Wheeler and Nick Miles) discovered the development, they offered Belle some support, and Nicola wondered how long it would be until she started getting back into the dating scene. Belle set up a profile on an app and Nicola managed to grab her phone and swipe on a few accounts, one of them being Kammy's. Of course in the moment his phone pinged with the notification, Kammy didn't know that Nicola had swiped, which meant the next time he saw Belle, he was coy and giggly, wondering how long it would be until they went out on a date. Because of Belle's anxieties surrounding relationships, she quickly shut Kammy down and said she wasn't interested at all. In tonight's episode though, it was clear that wasn't entirely true. Belle arrived in the café and found Kammy. They joked about Kammy lying on his profile and pretending that he's the boss at Cain's garage. And then he arrived. Cain questioned Kammy about this and it left him fearful, but it was clear he wasn't being totally serious. As he approached the counter for a drink, Cain glanced back at Belle and Kammy. They were laughing together and Cain realised that his sister was very much enjoying Kammy's company. A while later, Cain found Kammy in the village. He apologised again about the profile lie, but then found himself feeling even more awkward when Cain wondered if there was something going on between him and Belle. Kammy reassured Cain and said they're just mates. Cain can clearly sense something is going on though as if not, he wouldn't have felt the need to remind Kammy that Belle has been through an awful lot, and doesn't need someone messing her around. More Trending In the pub, Belle discovered what Cain had said to Kammy, and reiterated that they were just friends. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Great British Bake Off to return as trailer reveals hosts and judges lineup
The Great British Bake Off has dropped a trailer for its upcoming season of the hit baking show.

After various shots of the big bang mixed with baked goods, the camera pans out of Paul Hollywood 's eye. 'Once there was nothing, and then there was Bake Off,' Wilkinson states.
