EastEnders fans will see the return of a familiar face this summer, as Libby Fox arrives back on Albert Square.

The youngest member of the Fox family, played by Belinda Owusu, will return to the soap for two episodes later this year.

Owusu spoke to the BBC about her excitement, saying: "It's great to be back again! I'm always excited to see how Libby has grown and be back with the Fox family!"

Libby will be returning to celebrate her birthday with her family, but could there be more to her visit than she's revealing?

Libby moved to Albert Square in 2006 with her mother Denise, and featured in a high-profile storyline which saw her abusive father Owen Turner attempt to kill her.

She also had a long-term relationship with Darren Miller, before leaving the Square in 2010 to attend Oxford University.

She was last seen in Walford in May 2014, when she attended the funeral of Lucy Beale.

Don't tell me she's pregnant as well.

Could be ... or she got married on the quiet ..

Or she knows who killed Lucy. Doof doof.

Or she's going to tell Denise that many years ago she was raped by Dean.

It would actually be quite clever if she did know something about Lucy. Libby appeared in that episode and I believe Denise left her an answer phone message in the final minutes. Perhaps Libby was out witnessing something to explain why she didn't answer her phone. It must be something which incriminates her a little if so I'd have thought, or someone has a hold over her in some way. Libby is a very moral person and would have said something before now. We were led to believe that Libby directed the taxi away from the funeral because she saw Ian with Jane outside of the church, but it could be for her own conscience too.
