The actor who played Ricky Butcher is returning to Albert Square.
The BBC has confirmed that Sid Owen will rejoin the cast of 'EastEnders.'
The announcement comes after his former co-star Patsy Palmer said she would return to her role as Bianca Jackson.
The pair endured a stormy relationship which eventually ended, and viewers will see Ricky return to Albert Square with his new fiancee.
"I'm over the moon they've asked me to come back," Owen said. In contrast Palmer's character arrives as a single mother and is struggling to survive.
"It will be interesting to see what has been happening to Ricky and Bianca over the last few years," Owen said.
"Although, I must admit I'm not looking forward to her nagging me by shouting his name," he added.
Palmer said that she is "really excited about rejoining the cast and working with old friends again".
