Apparently he is to make an "explosive" debut during the February "live" week.
No doubt his debut will rock the Square and the inhabitants' lives will never be the same again.
EastEnders bosses have cast Richard Blackwood to play a new villainous character on the BBC soap.
The actor and TV personality will make his first appearance on the show next month, featuring in one of the first live scenes in the highly-anticipated 30th anniversary 'live week'.

With secrecy surrounding many of the anniversary storylines, show chiefs are keeping tight-lipped about the character that Blackwood will be playing.
However, insiders have promised an "explosive" and "thrilling" debut for his new alter ego, who will be shaking up life on Albert Square.
In a statement, Blackwood thanked EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins and the show's casting director Julia Crampsie for trusting him with the role.
He commented: "I wanna thank Dominic and Julia for giving me this amazing opportunity. EastEnders is a show I've grown up watching, so to film on Albert Square is something I'll never get used to! To know my first-ever scene will be a live one hopefully means the team believe in me and I won't let them down!"

Treadwell-Collins added: "Richard Blackwood has always been on our EastEnders wish list - and now the perfect part has come along.
"Richard's an authentic Londoner and a terrific actor, bringing with him warmth, humour and energy which will add so many layers to this 21st century EastEnders villain. The status quo in the Square is about to be well and truly shaken…"
Blackwood's previous acting work includes appearances in a number of TV and theatre productions. He is also known for his stand-up comedy, presenting and music work.

Richard Blackwood has described his EastEnders character as being "connected to everybody".
Speaking about his upcoming stint in Albert Square to A.Dot on BBC Radio 1Xtra, the actor, comedian and musician said he "didn't see [the role] coming."
Asked to describe his villainous character, Blackwood said: "I'm your best friend and your worst enemy.
"He has just got layers, villain is just too basic of a word. He's connected to enough people."
He continued: "I'm connected to everybody."
The actor was also asked if he knew who killed Lucy Beale, a mystery which will be revealed during the EastEnders 30th anniversary celebrations.
Blackwood said: "This is the thing - I don't know, and I'm being really honest... I was there and I rehearsed the scene and then they said, 'Everybody's got to clear the lot now'."
The actor will make his debut in the soap during a live scene on Tuesday, February 17.
"I am so looking forward to it... I come from a live background," he said.
