EastEnders icon Bianca’s return ‘exposed’ after shock exit as fans spot four-word ‘clue’

EastEnders fans reckon Bianca Jackson is heading back to Walford.

The telly legend, played by Patsy Palmer, is a firm favourite on the BBC One soap. Since making her debut in 1993, she has become one of the programme’s most iconic characters.

Earlier this year, Bianca made her return to our screens as part of Whitney Dean’s (Shona McGarty) exit storyline.

After Whitney said her goodbyes, and following a fall-out with Bianca, the latter remained in Walford. Bianca then moved in with sister Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) and her partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman).

However, Bianca discovered that Reiss had been funding his and Sonia’s IVF journey by stealing from his coma-induced wife Debbie. Horrified, Bianca clashed with Sonia and ended up revealing the secret in the Vic while drunk.

Bianca then got into her taco van, and under the influence, she drove out of the square, leaving Walford behind her.

However, viewers are certain that Bianca is heading back after actress Patsy, who lives in LA, appeared to drop a ‘clue.’

On X, one fan shared a screenshot of one of Patsy’s Instagram posts, showing her and her children enjoying a meal out at a restaurant in California.

She captioned the photo: “Lovely dinner @zinque behave kids.” She then added; “I’ll be back soon,” appearing to hint she was leaving the States. Patsy finished off her post with: “Love you all so much.”

Suspicious, a fan wrote on X: “Another Bianca stint looms.” Someone else said: “Ooh would love a Bianca return especially since her exit was ambiguous and we don’t really know what happened after she drove off!” (sic)

A third wrote: “Looks like the cast are gonna get some very familiar faces come september (not definite from me, just a bit of speculation).” (sic)

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
