EastEnders ended on a massive cliffhanger last week with the return of Rob Kazinsky as Sean Slater, 17 years after he was last a permanent Albert Square resident. <\/p>\n

Sean is back as Jack Branning is frantically searching for his daughter Amy Mitchell, who has gone off with disgraced detective Craig Ingram<\/a>.

Longtime fans will know that Sean was previously married to Amy’s late mother Roxy Mitchell and believed Amy was his daughter for the first few months of her life.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Sean’s return<\/a> and him aiding Jack in the search for Amy, Rob revealed: “Sean never stopped thinking of Amy as his child, he held her in his arms as his daughter and finding out she wasn\u2019t his was the hardest thing that ever happened to him.<\/p>\n

“He will protect her and love her as only a father ever could. He swore to Roxy that he would do so and nothing stops him keeping promises to Roxy Mitchell.”

Rob also touched on Sean’s tempestuous relationship with Jack, saying: “I actually think that this relationship is the most storied for Sean; enemies to grudging acceptance.<\/p>\n

“The speed with which two men who have a fight can become friends is almost ridiculous and Sean and Jack have one thing that binds them together \u2013 they both love Amy. Will that mean they become friends or will Jack resent her first father coming back into her life?”<\/p>\n

The actor spoke about how it was stepping into Sean’s shoes once again, saying the character was the one he was “most protective of”. <\/p>\n

“Perhaps because of his tragedy or his ability to conquer his demons if he loves someone enough, but I find him deeply human,” Rob added. “I\u2019ve never lost my connection with him and putting Sean\u2019s shoes and coat on again felt wholly right.”<\/p>\n

As for what’s ahead for Sean now he’s back in Walford, he teased: “42-year-old Sean Slater is much more interesting than 21-year-old Sean Slater, be prepared for something old and something new.”<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast. <\/p>\n
