EastEnders is bringing back Glenda Mitchell for a brief but memorable return.
Glynis Barber will reprise her role as Glenda in the show's New Year episodes, but producers are keeping tight-lipped about why the feisty character heads back to Walford.
It's been nearly five years since Glenda left Albert Square as public enemy number one in March 2011, when her affairs with both Phil Mitchell and Ian Beale had been exposed.
Glenda was left disappointed when all of her family members turned their backs on her, but with a difficult Christmas now ahead for the Mitchells, she'll be back at the centre of the drama.
When Glenda reappears, it's just as her daughters Roxy and Ronnie are reaching crisis point over their ongoing feud.
Roxy also faces a terrifying ordeal when her partner Dean Wicks attacks her, while Ronnie's battles with Vincent will reach dangerous levels over the festive period - forcing her to choose a side between the Mitchells and the Hubbards and take drastic action.
An EastEnders spokesperson teased: "It's a pivotal time for the Mitchells and the big question that remains is: what brings Glenda back?"
EastEnders airs a dramatic double bill at 6.30pm and 8pm on New Year's Day on BBC One.
