Aunt Sal (Anna Karen)
Aunt Sal's return to EastEnders could spark big trouble for show newcomer Claudette Hubbard.
Peggy Mitchell's outspoken sister heads back to Walford next week for a family gathering, but it appears that she's far more interested in Claudette when she pays an unexpected visit to her.
In scenes which are bound to spark intrigue among viewers, Sal (Anna Karen) takes time out from the Mitchells' dramas and warns Claudette that she knows her secret. Should Claudette be worried about what her old acquaintance might say?
Ellen Thomas, who plays Claudette, told Inside Soap: "I can't wait for you to find out what little old Claudette has been up to. She thinks the past is long dead and buried - but unfortunately for her, some people return to dig it all up again.
"When she was younger, Claudette was around Walford at the same time as Peggy Mitchell and Aunt Sal. There are a lot of things that went on in those days that come back to haunt her. Let's just say that Aunt Sal Martin knows Claudette Hubbard of old very well indeed!"

It's clear that Claudette is the woman pulling the strings of her mysterious son Vincent (Richard Blackwood), but fans might have to wait until the festive season for all of the puzzle pieces to fall into place.
Thomas continued: "Christmas is magic. We've been filming some scenes recently that are off the hook. All I'll say is fasten your seat belts, because it's going to be a very bumpy ride.
"The scripts are real page-turners. After the cast received them, we were all phoning each other up saying: 'Have you read them yet?' Believe me, the audience is going to be very surprised."
EastEnders airs Aunt Sal's warning to Claudette on Thursday, November 26 at 8.30pm on BBC One.
