Soap star Pam St Clement is poised to return to EastEnders.
Pam St Clement is set to return to EastEnders.
The 83-year-old actress is poised to reprise the role of Pat Evans for a special episode in Nigel's dementia storyline on the BBC soap.
Pam - who last appeared on the show back in 2016, when her on-screen character returned as a figment of Peggy’s imagination on the night of her death - said: "I was both surprised and excited to be asked back to tread the streets of Walford once again and to be involved in Nigel‘s touching dementia storyline. It was lovely to be welcomed back by those with whom I had worked for so long. It was just like coming home."
Ben Wadey, EastEnders executive producer, is also thrilled to be welcoming Pam back to the soap.
He said: "It’s an honour and a privilege to welcome Pam St Clement back to EastEnders for a special episode in Nigel’s ongoing dementia storyline.
"Pat Evans is one of the most cherished and iconic characters to have graced the streets of Walford, and I know I speak on behalf of everyone when I say what a delight it was to see Pat and Pam back in The Queen Vic as she helps Nigel in his time of need."
Earlier this year, Anita Dobson - another of the soap's biggest stars - returned to EastEnders as part of the show's 40th anniversary celebrations.
The actress reprised the role of Angie Watts to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the BBC soap, and Anita admitted to having a "wonderful" time on set.
Anita - who first played Angie, the wife of Den Watts, between 1985 and 1988 - told the BBC at the time: "I have to say a huge thank you to everyone on the EastEnders team for making me feel so welcome. It was joyful.
"When I first put the costume on, it was like ‘Wow’. It was very wonderful and weird at the same time."
