EastEnders fans convinced huge star is returning after spotting them on BBC set in behind-the-scenes video
EASTENDERS fans are convinced a huge star is returning after spotting them on the BBC set in a behind-the-scenes video.
The BBC soap’s social media accounts include a regular ‘Day in the Life’ segment, where a member of the cast is followed through their day on set.
The latest offering featured Kellie Bright – who plays Linda Carter – as she arrived at the North London set and got into character.
Kellie, 47, gave fans a glimpse of her dressing room and Linda’s earring collection before heading down to the make up room to get glammed up.
Heading into the room, she greeted one of the show’s make up artists before sitting down in the beauty chair.
However, there was another woman in the room that the camera briefly swept across before the video sped up to show Kellie’s transformation.
Taking to the comments section, some EastEnders fans were convinced the woman in the background was Laurie Brett, who played Jane Beale.
Laurie, 54, was last seen in Walford in 2017 before she left in a taxi after being intimidated out of the Square by Max Branning.
In 2020 she was mentioned after she filed for divorce from husband Ian Beale.
After watching the vid, one fan wrote: “Is that Jane sitting on her phone as Kelly comes out of getting her make up done???”
Another added: “Was that Laurie Brett at 2:35!!??!??”
A third commented: ” ooooh I hope so – I’d love Jane to come back.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “i will FREAK out OMG it looks like her!”
But unfortunately, it seems they were mistaken, as one fan who had taken a closer look said: “you can definitely see it’s not her.”
Another added: “nope it wasn’t I thought it was too, slowed it down defo not out lolz x.”
EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
