Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) is at long last returning to EastEnders, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
The news of the iconic superbitch’s return broke tonight, after a source claimed that the character will take centre stage in a ‘huge story’ later this year.
‘Bosses have a huge story planned for Charlie’s return,’ The source told The Sun
‘They are keeping tight-lipped about whether Janine will come back as a reformed character after all the chaos she has caused in the past.
‘But she certainly has a lot of history in Albert Square so whether she will be welcomed back with open arms or not remains to be seen.
‘One thing the viewers can be sure about is that it is bound to be explosive. Wherever Janine goes, drama is never far behind.’
Social media went into meltdown in the aftermath of the confirmation, with one fan even branding Janine’s comeback a ‘miracle’.
‘Honestly this is huge for Eastenders bloody hell,’ said one fan. ‘how have they managed to pull off Janine returning.’
‘JANINE F**KNG BUTCHER,’ exclaimed another excited viewer. ‘IN 2021 ITS A F**KING MIRACLE’
‘JANINE IS COMING BACK,’ added one more. ‘NAH IM SO SO HAPPY THIS IS THE BEST NEWS
EastEnders bosses declined to comment when Metro.co.uk reached out, but our own sources stated that the return will be later in the summer.
‘The potential for Janine is huge,’ they said. ‘She has enemies all around the Square who she’d gladly go to war with, and she’s shown before she isn’t afraid to kill to get her way.
‘It could have huge repercussions for some of the big names in EastEnders. She’s not going to come back and play nice.’
