Janine Butcher

didn't I predict a Frank Butcher funeral and Janine return?

OMG this funeral will be immense, a right east end burial. Can't wait to see the confrontations between Janine and Pat/Ricky.

Promising times ahead for Eastenders!

That will be good, it see old faces again, more realistic

Me and my friends were talking about this the other day. Why don't actors come back for the one off episodes for weddings and funerals, to make it all the more realistic.

Granted they have other commitments, but surely a couple of hours filming for a few scenes wouldn't harm them? The show gave them so much, they could at least try and repay it in some way.

Take Stacey's wedding for example, not a single Slater sister returned!

Yeah, and there wasn't even a simple phone call or letter to explain why they couldn't come. Lynne might have been difficult because Elaine Lordan got sacked for turning up to work 90% of the time, but Little Mo didn't move too far away and could easily have returned. I don't see why Belinda couldn't have come either - she's come for a lot of other weddings.

Glad to see that Janine will be there to pay her last respects to her father though, as she didn't really spend that much time with him when he was alive.

Bry was right, i had a feeling this would be a way of getting baracters back in the show for a while. I am so glad Charlie is coming back. I mean it is unrealistic when a characters mother or father dies and they don't even make it to the funeral I think these will be good episodes.

Yeha i thought this when i read this in the paper, it would be the first time to my memory that family members have actually come back for an event like this, quite good really Mike was well liked so i expect Sid,Sophie & Charlie felt it was only right to go back for this

I remember that Pat saved Janine's skin because she did not testify against her in court because of Frank - I can feel the sparks flying now
