Most notably, he was wrapped up in a shocking love triangle with Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and her daughter Zoe (Michelle Ryan), who was raised as her sister.
As Anthony's father Patrick (Rudolph Walker) prepares to marry Yolande (Angela Wynter), Anthony has been confirmed to be returning to the Square to attend the big event.
But with Zoe also making a comeback to Walford, will there be old sparks being reignited?
Fans certainly seemed to think so, sharing their theories on Instagram as the announcement was made.
"Not this happening at the same time Zoe comes back 🤣" wrote one.
"I'm all for this return. Now please can Anthony have a scene with Zoe 👀." wrote another.
While a third wrote: "OMG 😍👑💙 Nicolas Bailey can't wait to 👀 him reunited with Patrick and Yolande and Kat and Zoe 👑👑👑👑"
Anthony Trueman hasn't been seen on the Square in over 11 years - though his first time around proved to be eventful.
Shortly after arriving in 2000, Anthony struck up a romance with Kat – despite the protests of his mother, Audrey, who deeply disapproved of her.
While their romance fizzled out, things turned toxic quickly when he moved on with Zoe Slater – the teenage sister (later revealed to be daughter) of Kat.
Anthony Trueman and Kat Moon meet as he returns on EastEnders
Although he even got engaged to Zoe, he still held a flame for Kat, and when Zoe left the Square the pair slept together once again – on the day he was supposed to marry Zoe.
With Kat and Anthony back on, their differing social circles became more apparent, with Kat growing close to Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie) who helped her with her table etiquette ahead of an important dinner.
Kat would later discover she was pregnant by Anthony, and considered having an abortion, only to suffer a miscarriage before she could even tell him.
Realising they were too different, Kat broke up with Anthony to be with Alfie, who she ended up marrying.
When he accidentally causing the death of a pregnant patient, Anthony decided he needed a fresh start and left Walford in 2003 to go travelling.
Since then, we've known that he returned to the UK, moved to Scotland and got married – making brief returns for his dad's first wedding to Yolanda, and his brother Paul's funeral.

Michelle Keegan stuns fans with bikini snaps just months after giving birth
Former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan became a first time mum in March this year - but she is already back promoting her swimwear brand and showing off her latest designs Michelle Keegan may have given birth to her first child just four months ago, but she is already back to work and flogging bikinis that she has designed - winning support and praise from fans in the process. The 38-year-old former Coronation Street star became a first time mum in March this year as she welcomed her daughter, named Palma, with her husband - reality star Mark Wright, 38. Most new mothers in the UK take advantage of the 26-52 weeks statutory maternity leave once welcoming their bundle of joy. But Michelle proved she was ready and raring to get back to work this weekend as she modelled her latest line of bikinis and beach wear from her Orfila Bee fashion line. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Michelle shared a collection of snaps of herself wearing a brown bikini and a cowgirl hat. She paired the items with a lightweight white sarong which was tied around her waist and a white summer beach top that covered her arms. The star uploaded the images to her main grid alongside a caption stating: "We really did make the chicest cover up @orfilabee." Fans were stunned to see Michelle back at work - and showing off her toned figure. One impressed follower remarked in the comments section: "Thought she just had a baby?" While another echoed: "How have you just birthed a child?" Earlier this month, it was revealed that Michelle has been "torn" over her future - with the possibility of big acting roles and her new role as a mother pulling her in opposite directions. A source told The Mirror last weekend: 'Michelle has always been a hard worker, so she's torn between staying at home with Palma and getting back out there. 'It's not an easy industry – you're self-employed so you never know when your next job might be. It's still really early days, but these are the questions she's asking herself, because she's very much in demand. Everything Michelle touches lately seems to turn to gold.' Weeks earlier it was reported that Stockport-born Michelle had signed a six-figure deal to become the new face of Sky – alongside Luther star Idris Elba. Arguably still most famous for playing Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street from 2008 until 2014, Michelle went on to carve out an impressive acting career across a variety of genres. She made an impact as an army soldier in the hit BBC show Our Girl from 2016 until 2020. And more recently she enjoyed success on the Netflix drama Fool Me Once, and has won fans for her comedy work on the Sky series Brassic. Away from acting, she has drawn further attention for her fashion collaborations - and her romantic life. She began dating The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright in 2013 - and they became engaged that same year. It wasn't until May 2015 that they tied the knot - and then almost 10 full decades later, the happy couple started their own family with the arrival of Palma.

Danny Dyer reveals he ran 'NAKED' through a council estate while filming new series of Mr. Bigstuff
is back in the buff in series two of Sky's Mr Bigstuff as he revealed he 'ran through a council estate naked'. The actor, 47, portrays geezer Lee, who rocks up to his brother Glen's carpet factory hoping for a new chapter, in the Sky series, which will return to screens on Thursday. Danny has now joked about striping off in 'broad daylight' and how he was worried about it being 'too cold'. Laughing, the former EastEnders star told The Sun: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally. 'I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.' Danny said he didn't mind filming naked scenes as it was important to the storyline with his character chasing down a thug, who threw a brick through a window. The actor, 47, portrays geezer Lee, who rocks up to his brother Glen's carpet factory hoping for a new chapter, in the Sky series, which will return to screens on Thursday He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.' The show follows two estranged and rather contrasting brothers, Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny), as they discover that their father, who they thought was dead, is actually alive. It comes after Danny opened up about his daughter Dani Dyer's wedding to West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, calling it 'the best day of his life'. The celebrity couple tied the knot in a 'Bridgerton-themed' wedding on May 31 at the plush £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Iver, Buckinghamshire. Dani wowed on the occasion in a £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress created by the award-winning wedding dress designer Suzanne Neville. Jarrod - who wiped away tears as Danny walked his daughter towards the alter - wore a three-piece black suit for the ceremony. Danny, a lifelong Hammers supporter, has regularly gushed about the fact his daughter's seeing his favourite footballer. And he amusingly told Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast about that on Dani's wedding day he gave her away to the 'man of his dreams'. He said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold! It was broad daylight' Speaking about the wedding, he told the hosts: 'I was in pieces, darling. 'The best day of my life. Honestly, it was just so beautiful. 'I managed, you know, to give my daughter away to the man of my dreams - I don't think that's ever happened in the history of any father giving their daughter away! 'So it was the perfect day. Let me tell you that now, it was just beautiful.' It comes as Danny is reportedly teaming up with acting heavyweight Stephen Graham for a powerful new TV drama - and it's tipped to go head-to-head with 2025's biggest hit, Adolescence. The pair, who last worked together in the 2009 cult horror Doghouse, are in early talks to create a hard-hitting series tackling some of the toughest issues facing society today. A source told The Mirror: 'It's a gritty new drama. They are currently thrashing out what they want to do but it will be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.' Adolescence, which starred Stephen and was co-created by him and writer Jack Thorne, has become Netflix 's most-watched series of the year. It sparked a national debate and was even discussed in Parliament over its depiction of teenage misogyny and online safety. The series, which follows a father whose teenage son is arrested for murder, hit No1 in 71 countries and clocked up a staggering 66.3 million views in just two weeks. After the shortlist for this year's Emmy awards was announced on Tuesday, it was revealed Adolescence received 13 nominations. Of those Emmy Award nominations, Owen Cooper who starred as Jamie Miller in the series has become one of the youngest nominees ever. He is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category at the Primetime. And at just 15-years-old the school boy will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars' if he scoops the accolade for his role in Adolescence. Danny, 47, has publicly praised Stephen's work on the globally successful series, saying: 'It's such an important subject, Steve. You've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this.' Away from the cameras, it is reported the duo are also planning to reunite on a more personal level, organising a double date with wives Joanne Mas and Hannah Walters. MailOnline has contacted Danny and Stephen's representatives.
