Patsy Palmer is believed to be taking on the role of the iconic Bianca Jackson once again on the hit BBC show, EastEnders.
The red-head, 47, is said to be filming her comeback scenes for the soap in coming weeks after her on-screen adopted daughter, Whitney, recently admitted that she killed evil stalker, Leo King.
Bianca who has returned to the soap on three occasions since she originally joined in 1993, will help Whitney through her arrest and subsequent trial.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Bianca is a legendary character and the writers are always delighted to be able to invite Patsy back to play her.”

They went on to say: “Whitney’s admission in Friday’s episode will lead to some tough times for her, so her adoptive mum comes back to help her out.
“Although it remains to be seen how helpful Bianca back will be for her.”
Patsy initially joined EastEnders in 1993 before departing in 1999 – she then returned in 2008 before quitting again in 2014.

It was also revealed that Bianca was returning again last year to be reunited with her daughter, Tiffany.
During her brief stint, Bianca ran into Leo and warned him to stay away from her family after he turned up at Whitney’s disastrous wedding and then rocked up on Albert Square.
Ricky and Bianca’s wedding in 1997 was one of the biggest audiences for a soap, with more than 22 million people tuning in for the day.
