EastEnders confirms Sharon Watts' return in explosive new trailer - and she's not alone
BBC has sent fans wild with a new EastEnders trailer, which confirms the return of two legendary characters. Viewers have been questioning when Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) would be making a return to the soap after she left before Martin Fowler's funeral. Leaving off screen, it was announced that she had gone off to visit Michelle in Australia, after struggling with the aftermath of Martin's death.
Now, a rare trailer has confirmed Sharon will be back on screens soon, as well as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan). Zoe made her shock return to the soap earlier this year during Ben Wadey's debut episode, but quickly fled to Barcelona after a close run in with mother Kat.
Alfie then went off to try to find her, but unfortunately failed. It looks like she'll be making her return to Albert Square soon, however, and fans can't wait.
In the trailer, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) can be seen applying her signature red lipstick in the mirror, as her daughter Zoe can be seen getting out of a black cab.
Halfway through, a small clip of Sharon standing under an umbrella with Patrick appears, as well as another with Freddie and Stacey standing laughing together.
The drama picks up by the end of the snippet, as Kat and Zoe finally come face to face - leaving Kat looking stunned.
The exact date of the pair's return hasn't been confirmed yet, but with a trailer being released, we can expect it to be very soon.
Fans are overjoyed to see the duo back on the Square, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate. "so much to unpack here, Zoe, SHARON, cinematic trailers being back," penned one excited fan.
"Kat and Zoe!! and Sharon's back!!!" exclaimed another, while another nostalgic fan said: "Omg an Eastenders trailer are we in 2008!!!"
"The return of Sharon's 2018 weave omg!!" said another, noticing her new hairstyle. "Flawless classic Eastenders trailer. The best show on television is back!!!" another tweet read.
As well as Sharon and Zoe's return, the BBC soap have confirmed the return of a handful of other legendary characters. Max Branning, Ben Mitchell, Stuart Highway and Anthony Trueman will all be making their way back to the Square anytime soon...
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Joanna Page admits one experience on Welsh beach made her reconsider living in England
Actress Joanna Page has opened up about a personal predicament following the conclusion of Gavin & Stacey and her contemplation of relocating her family back to Wales. The 48-year-old star confessed she had considered the move after taking up surfing and feeling remarkably energised by the activity, sparking thoughts about whether she should uproot her family from England. Joanna, alongside husband James Thornton, whom she wed in 2003, shares four children: Eva, Kit, Noah, and Boe. Reflecting on the experience with womanandhome, Joanna remembered: "Over the summer, I did my first-ever surfing lesson in Wales. I came home so invigorated, I wanted to move to Saundersfoot, thinking, 'It's about time I went back to Wales. I want to surf and live on the beach.' "Then trying to put that into action with four children who've never lived in Wales and are very settled into their school is difficult! Now I just want to continue surfing whenever I can. It's good for the mind as well as fitness." Beyond discussing relocating her family westward, Joanna also revealed she has occasionally pondered adopting another child, reports Wales Online. Despite having her "tubes tied," she has explored the possibility with James as she remains deeply maternal. Joanna elaborated: "I've been thinking about fostering or adopting. It's something I've chatted about with James because I'm still very maternal, and it's something that I would think about in the future." Joanna Page has previously hinted at a move from England to Wales. Earlier this year, during her BBC One show Wynne and Joanna: All at Sea, she confessed that she had discussed the idea with James. During the programme, she revealed: "It's made me think, why am I not living by the sea? I've already spoken to James and I've said to him, 'that's it, I'm done.' "I had to move to England for drama school and I've lived there ever since. It's time. It's time to go home! I am from the sea, I'm from the sea, and I need to be back here." "I am so excited to go back home and see everybody, and just to bring both the old me and the new me back home, and just go, 'come on! Let's live by the sea, let's do yoga on the beach' – that's what I want to do now." In addition to discussing her feelings about potentially adopting, Joanna also shared how liberated she felt being away from her children while filming the final Gavin & Stacey episode. She said: "Every night, I was in bed by 10.30pm because I was so excited to have a hotel room and bed to myself... I'd climb into bed, lie on my back and spread out. It was heaven! "I was away from the children and wasn't being Mum, having responsibility for everyone and just doing all the cooking. "Mentally, I created some space to relax and have a bit of time for myself to breathe and sleep. That made me feel really quite good, coming home and feeling that I'm not just Mum, I'm Jo as well."
