EastEnders will air Denise Van Outen's first scenes next month as her character Karin Smart arrives on Albert Square looking for Phil Mitchell.

It was announced earlier this year that the actress had been cast in a guest role, but details surrounding her character have been kept under wraps until now.

Karin's arrival comes as the war between Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Phil intensifies, with Phil desperately searching for ways to seek revenge on Max after he deceitfully took over The Arches earlier in the year.

When Karin arrives in Walford in search of Phil, she is quickly intercepted by a curious Max and the pair start talking.

Unaware that there is more to Karin than meets the eye, Max is soon doing a business deal with Karin after she makes him an offer he can't refuse.

The Carters are shocked by Buster's unexpected return to Walford. Not everyone is pleased to see Buster, as his presence reminds Mick of all the lies and deceit within the Carter family. As they catch up, Buster invites Shirley to move to Greece and start a new life with him, which she agrees to.

Later, the tension between Mick and Shirley continues to build as Stan's condition deteriorates. Shirley shares her plans to move away that night, but when she bumps into Phil, he encourages her to think carefully about whether it's the right decision. Concerned about her family, Shirley then takes matters into her own hands - with dramatic consequences.

Stan and Jim die the same week

[Jessie Wallace]

New EastEnders pictures have been released showing the aftermath of Dean Wicks's surprise return to Albert Square.

Dean (Matt Di Angelo) reappeared in Walford at the end of Friday night's episode, arriving back at the Queen Vic with his father Buster Briggs.

The return of both men will make a big impact on the Carter family next week, starting off when Buster tells Shirley that he wants to move to Greece to start a new life with her and Dean.

Shirley agrees to the suggestion, but when she later bumps into her ex-partner Phil Mitchell, he gives her food for thought and leaves her wondering whether it's really the right decision. Concerned about her family, Shirley then takes matters into her own hands by making a surprising move.

At the same time, one of Stan Carter's last wishes is granted when Dean arrives to see him at the hospital, despite Mick (Danny Dyer) being against the idea.

Dean gives Stan (Timothy West) some whisky as a present, but Mick is furious when he turns up and witnesses this, immediately giving Dean his marching orders.

Later, there is a further twist for the Carters when Dean is arrested. Viewers know that Dean breached his bail conditions with his disappearance, and Buster is quick to blame Mick by suggesting that he must have tipped off the police over Dean's return.

After the latest row, however, Buster realises that Shirley may have actually been responsible rather than Mick. Is he right?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday (April 6) at 8pm and Tuesday (April 7) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
