The Sharon Rickman actress, who makes her on-screen return in tonight's (August 13) episode, believes that the BBC soap requires "old blood" in the cast.
The 44-year-old was asked by the BBC's Newsbeat whether critics were right to suspect that EastEnders producers' choice to bring her back signalled a lack of fresh ideas.
She responded: "I think with any sort of ongoing drama like EastEnders you need old blood, new blood, it just needs a balance."
The Albert Square legend's first stint on the show spanned a decade, from 1985 to 1995, before she reprised her role from 2001 until 2006.
Co-star Steve McFadden, who plays Phil Mitchell, shared Dean's view - comparing her comeback to that of his own, Ross Kemp's and Barbara Windsor's.
"You know I went and came back. And I know that when me, Ross and Barbara came back it sort of invigorated the show," he hypothesised.
"What Letitia is doing is bringing back some history and you can't buy that. It takes years to build that up."
Letitia Dean's first episode back on EastEnders is to be screened tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
Just how far up their own ar$es are these people
I like Sharon, glad she is back. Like to see her interact with some new additions. The Brannings to start with.
Well she interacts quite a bit with Jack Branning :pQuote:

So what is her secret, hooker i think
Sharon Rickman made her dramatic return to EastEnders this evening (August 13) - and has immediately given fans something to speculate about with talk of a secret.
The Albert Square legend seemed rattled in tonight's second episode as her jilted fiancé John threatened to reveal something to Phil Mitchell that she would rather keep hidden.
As they argued over the cancelled wedding, John ranted: "Don't you dare walk away from me. I picked you up, I made you… You were nothing, you were nobody. Does he know, your friend? Does he know your dirty little secret, eh?"
Sharon replied: "No, and he ain't gonna" - but with this being soapland, that could be wishful thinking!
Letitia Dean, who plays Sharon, also hinted at a forthcoming revelation in her recent Daybreak interview, saying: "There's something that comes out later, that's happened to her in the States…"
Whether the two are linked remains to be seen - but can you guess at what Sharon's secret might be?
