she could just come back for a couple of weeks or so though. her daughter, two brothers and at one point sister are all living on the sqaure! and then there's her nephew Bradley and stepmum Dot. you'd think she could pop in and say hello!

Former EastEnders actress Lindsey Coulson has ruled out a potential return to the BBC soap.

The 48-year-old - who played loudmouth Carol Jackson for six years between 1993 and 1999 – believes the show has evolved since her time on the Square.

Speaking to GMTV of a potential return, she said: "I think not, I think the programme has moved on…my friends Maggie O'Neil [Suzy Branning] and Diane Parish [Denise Fox] are in it now and I think they are carrying the flag and doing great stuff."

Earlier this year, her real-life sister-in-law Patsy Palmer returned to Albert Square as her screen daughter Bianca Jackson after an eight-year break.

EastEnders star Patsy Palmer has claimed that producers should bring back her on-screen mother.

The actress, who plays Bianca Jackson on the BBC One soap, confirmed that she would be thrilled if Lindsey Coulson was recruited to reprise her role as Carol.

Palmer also confirmed that she is keen for Nick Berry and Michael French to return in their respective parts of Simon and David Wicks.

In an interview with We Love Telly magazine, Palmer explained: "I'd love to see Bianca's mum Carol return and it'd be amazing to have Simon and David Wicks back."

Coulson ruled out returning to Walford in a TV interview last summer. She made her final appearance on the soap in 1999.
