Dr May back in Albert Square

[Perdita]

LOCK up your bunnies ... Mad May is back. Yes, the woman who single-handedly turned Albert Square into an East End version of Fatal Attraction is returning.

The GP from hell was last seen being arrested and sectioned following a failed plot to steal Dawn Swann’s baby by giving her an unwanted Caesarean last June.

Dawn (Kara Tointon) was pregnant by May’s husband Rob Minter (Stuart Laing) who got embroiled in his wife’s dark scheming.

The storyline was so stark that show bosses axed their ending at the 11th hour. Most of the climax was re-written and re-filmed.

But May, played by Amanda Drew, returns when she manages to meet Jase Dyer (Stephen Lord). He has no idea what she did in the past.

May hears Jase talking about Dawn and her daughter Summer. A show insider said: “Is May back to baby-snatching? Does she plan more trouble for Dawn? It’s an explosive storyline.”

Producers have shrouded Amanda’s return in secrecy. Scripts even give her character a different name.

Amanda told TV Biz: “May is a gift of a role for any actor because of her complexity. I am so excited to be playing her again.

“It would be a shame to give too much away but she has changed in many ways.”

Executive producer Diederick Santer added: “It’s great to have Amanda back. Dr May is a hugely popular and exciting character, brilliantly performed by Amanda, and I’m sure viewers will be keen to see what she gets up to and how she’s changed.”

Another EXPLOSIVE storyline????? I am not sure it is a good idea to bring her back, even tho we loved to hate May's character. Are they going to bring Rob back ?? She has to have her sniveling weak hubby in tow

Hmmmm who else are they going to bring back to EE
