EastEnders Pat Butcher’s return ‘sealed’ for 40th anniversary – but there’s a twist
EastEnders Pat Butcher is a soap icon - but over 10 years after her exit and on-screen death, fans reckon the character is making a surprising return with a huge twist
EastEnders’ Pat Butcher could be making a surprise comeback to the soap for its epic 40th anniversary.
The soap legend, played by Pam St Clement, made her Walford debut back in 1986. A hit with viewers, Pat soon went on to become one of the soap’s most iconic and longest-serving characters.
For 25 years, she was a staple on the soap, having been involved in countless big storylines. During her time in Walford, her character was married four times and had many explosive rows with her frenemy Peggy Mitchell.
However in 2012, the man-eating character hung up her earrings for good. Fans will recall how she was killed off in January shortly after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
