Spoiler alert! Actress Jo Joyner will return as Tanya Branning for EastEnders' live 30th anniversary episodes this February.
Tanya will arrive back in the square for the final reveal of the long-running Who Killed Lucy? mystery
Talking about her return to EastEnders for two episodes in the special anniversary week, Joyner said: “I'm thrilled to be a part of the 30 year celebrations of a show that I am proud to have been a part of.
"One of the best things about soap is that it’s steeped in history - we all had a generation of characters that we grew up with. Mine were 'Chelle and Sharon and Tiff and Bianca! It's great that people can pop back in and help create that depth to the show.
"I'm really looking forward to working with everyone again, no matter how briefly. I hope I didn't kill Lucy!"
Tanya was last seen in Albert Square in June 2013, when she left to take alcoholic daughter Lauren to rehab. Since leaving the BBC soap, Joyner has starred in Sky TV sitcom Trying Again and is also to appear in upcoming BBC dramas Ordinary Lies and The Interceptor.
