Brave EastEnders star John Bardon is set for an emotional return to the show after battling back from two strokes.
John, 68, who plays Dot Branning’s husband Jim in the BBC1 soap, was forced to quit two years ago and has since fought to regain his speech and ability to walk.
He received no sick pay and was facing financial ruin. But June Brown, 82, who plays Dot and often visits John in Hitchen, Herts, said: "He’s coming back next month and I can’t wait. Dot has missed him.
"It’s been a long road and John is improving all the time. He won’t be grumpy and he will talk as much as he can."
John’s wife Enda, 60, added: "We’re hoping his return will be permanent and waiting to hear when he can go into rehearsals."

Can't understand how he didn't recieve sick pay poor John. Glad he is back but I still have a lot of concerns for him whether he is really fit to return or is it because he needs the income.
Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx
