Charlie Brooks to return?

[parkerman]

Yes, we know Charlie is returning for Frank's funeral but in the Daily Mirror she is quoted as saying, "The script was so good that it has made me want to rejoin the show for longer....I'm quite excited about the possibility of returning to Eastenders, but we'll have to wait and see."

Well, we can hope...

why ruin the memory? what could she possibly do to top the Barry storyline? she was great in the past, let's keep her there, as part of the glory days of Eastenders, bringing her back would be a bad move - as is bringing back Ricckaaay and Biance, who in my opinion weren't that good back in the day.

i have to agree bringing back old characters dont always work why would you want to risk that with an great character like janine

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has revealed that she would not rule out a permanent return to the soap.

The 26-year-old, who plays scheming Janine Butcher, returns for a four-episode stint next week in a bank of tribute episodes for late comic and acting legend Mike Reid.

Speculating about a possible full-time reprisal of the role, she said: "We've spoken about it briefly, I don't know yet. We'll just have to play it by ear. It's definitely given me a taste for the place again.

"I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. I just slipped Janine on like an old pair of shoes! She just came straight back and she's just so much fun to play. She's such a cow," she continued. "I really don't know, though - It might not be right for the show but it's something that I'd never not do. We'll have to wait and see.

"I feel like Janine was so wicked, I wouldn't want to ruin it. I don't know if it would, or whether it'd enhance it. I just wouldn't want her to be softened."

She added: "But I'd absolutely have the confidence that they wouldn't ruin Janine - however, they'd have to regulate her."

Not sure yet what to think about this just yet. :hmm:

nice to see Charlie Brooks seems to have a sensible head on her shoulders, oh but how i loved Janine!

[Johnny Allen]

I'd love Janine back but like Charlie Brooks says so long as she's not toned down or softened. If Janine comes back she's got to be as bitchy as ever.
