EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has confirmed a new love interest for Bianca Jackson following her return to Albert Square.
The character made her way back to Walford earlier this year, with the storyline involving the departure of her adopted daughter, Whitney Dean.
Her return coincides with the arrival of Junior, the son of George Knight, and the two will eventually meet in scenes set to air next week.
George has turned to underground boxing as he was consumed with rage and guilt over several personal issues, with his family urging him that fighting isn’t the best way to quell his demons.
Gina attempts to blackmail George into escaping the fight but her plan doesn’t work, with things getting messy as Elaine, Cindy and Anna all clash.
Anna leaves a message with Junior regarding their father’s fight, with George later shocked as Junior arrives to call off the fight.
The group return to The Vic following the ordeal, but Junior promptly leaves as he feels out of place, deciding to head to Peggy’s instead.
Whilst there, he bumps into Bianca, with the pair getting close as they eventually sleep together. Will this cause any friction and awkwardness in the Square?…
Bianca’s return saw Patsy Palmer reprise her role five years after her previous appearance, with the star recently reminiscing on her time on the soap as well as previewing her upcoming scenes.
“I remember coming onto the other lot and just feeling so surreal, because there was Pete Beale and Dot Cotton – I just remember feeling in awe of everybody,” she said.
“It always feels new – you always want to go back with a fresh head. You never really want to go back with the same head – I’m not here with the same mindset that I was when I left. It’s a fresh experience, but in exactly the same place.”
