EastEnders favourite Patsy Palmer will make her long-awaited return to Walford next month, with the Albert Square stalwart promising that - naturally - trouble isn't far behind.
After five years away from the BBC soap, Palmer is reprising her role as Bianca for the upcoming wedding of screen daughter Whitney to Callum.
"Like any Walford wedding, things don't quite go to plan… at all," Palmer told the BBC.
"Bianca ends up getting in trouble with Kat and it all ends in disaster. It's a classic race to the wedding and whether or not they'll even make it in time."
Palmer said Bianca has "a lot of stuff going on that nobody knows about".
"I don't want to give anything away, but viewers will learn in the coming weeks why Bianca's been so quiet and what's been going on. I'm not going to spoil anything but it does give answers."
When asked what the wedding day holds, Palmer replied: "I think Bianca would have loved to have not got into trouble and really been in the thick of it all, but that's just what seems to happen to Bianca - trouble follows her (laughs).
"As always, Bianca has the best intentions and always wants to do the right thing, but amidst the chaos of a wedding, things definitely don't go to plan."
Palmer's association with EastEnders stretches back to her debut as Bianca in 1993.
"My agent got the call from EastEnders saying that they had a story idea for Bianca to come back," she explained.
"I've always thought that if there was a big storyline, like a wedding or something, where it would be weird if Bianca wasn't there, I would go back. This is the first time I've been asked since I last left."
"It was like I'd never left, honestly, now I'm here I feel like I've always been here," she added.
"It's been five years but there's something about this place, it gets into your DNA, for sure. I think it almost becomes a part of you and when you've been in the show so long it becomes a second home, you can switch between your family at home and your work family."
EastEnders airs on RTÉ One and BBC One on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
