EastEnders has confirmed that Halfway will be hiding a secret when he returns to Albert Square later this month.

Halfway makes a surprise reappearance in Walford in a week's time – much to the delight of Whitney Carter (Shona McGarty), who's been keeping in touch with her love interest via video chats during his time away in the army.

When Halfway arrives back, Whitney takes him straight over to the Queen Vic to celebrate with the Carters – and they're all keen to thank the man who helped them to save the pub a few weeks ago.

Despite the jovial atmosphere, Whitney soon notices that Halfway's mind seems to be elsewhere. What is he hiding and does it relate to his recent time away?

EastEnders bosses announced last month that they'd decided to bring back Tony Clay as Halfway following a positive response to his initial stint in the show.

Speaking at the time, Tony revealed: "I'm really happy and excited to be back on EastEnders and working with such a brilliant cast and crew. Halfway is such a lovely role to play and I'm really looking forward to exploring his story further and seeing where it takes us."
