Jim's back

HERE’S a sight to cheer EastEnders fans — John Bardon back in the Square after suffering a massive stroke.

Frail John, 68, who plays Jim Branning, was written out after the attack last summer — and bosses feared he might never act again.

But he has returned to Elstree Studios, Herts, for an emotional reunion with cast and crew. And he filmed a few scenes despite having some trouble speaking.

In the storyline to be aired on August 11, he is thrown a birthday party by grandson Bradley and his wife Stacey — played by Charlie Clements and Lacey Turner. But Jim’s loving wife Dot — actress June Brown — worries that she won’t be able to cope with the fuss.

John Bardon has returned to the set of EastEnders to film a new guest appearance.

The 69-year-old actor, who plays Jim Branning, was forced to take a break from the BBC One soap after suffering a stroke in June 2007.

Bardon made his first return to the role earlier this year for a one-off episode which aired in August. He has now been spotted at the show's studios in Borehamwood, Herts, once again.

An insider told the Daily Star Sunday: "John was asked if he would come back to film scenes to do with a big autumn storyline. It's going to be massive so there was no way he was going to turn down the chance of going back.

"He's still recovering but the fact that he's been back for another stint has really helped."

A spokesperson for the programme confirmed that Bardon had made a return but kept tight-lipped about the details.

Having Jim back to do a scene with Nick would be great but I think it would be too much a strain on Jim as the scenes with Nick in them can be very tense.

Could be about Suzy's departure and/or Jack or Max getting shot??????
