Fans of EastEnders<\/a> think the time has come to be introduced to a mentioned yet unseen character on the BBC<\/a> soap. Amid news of a death being announced on the show and a double return being on the way, fans think it could lead to a new character making their arrival.<\/p>\n We learned this week that Stuart Highway is making his comeback to the show for the funeral of his father Jonno<\/a>. Stuart, played by actor Ricky Champ<\/a>, will reunite with his brother Callum Highway for the scenes.<\/p>\n It comes as the soap released pictures from filming showing Stuart and Callum alongside Johnny Carter and returning character Ben Mitchell<\/a>, played by actor Max Bowden<\/a>. Callum will be reunited with his husband who’s currently in prison in the US, amid his fling with Johnny.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Emmerdale’s Mackenzie Boyd ‘to be killed off’ in harrowing scenes already filmed<\/a>READ MORE: Coronation Street teases devastating exit twist for Aadi in emotional Dev scene<\/a> But will the funeral and the death of Jonno lead to another reunion? Fans are speculating we may finally meet the mother of Callum and Stuart who has yet to debut on the soap.<\/p>\n It’s never really been said, or at least fans cannot recall, whether they have the same mother, and who she is. But given the mystery surrounding Callum’s mother, possibly Stuart’s too, could Callum’s mum make her way to Walford now that Jonno is dead?<\/p>\n Some fans certainly questioned whether the plot twist would be on the cards. A fan said on social media: “Do you think that with Jonno’s imminent death, we might finally see Callum and Stuart’s mother?<\/p>\n “Seems she has never been mentioned and with all the new characters, might be a fun one to explore?” Another fan said: “I suppose their mom could have stayed away for her own safety and now that he’s dead, free to return.”<\/p>\n A third viewer added: “Would be good if we finally see who Stuart and Callum’s mom is?” A fourth fan commented: “I’d love to see Callum’s mum, or I wonder if Granny Vi will turn up again!”<\/p>\n A further fan said: “I wonder if their mum will arrive for the funeral or off the back of it but then again with Stuart leaving would there be a point.” It comes amid fans predicting a new twist for Ben and Callum as Ben returns for a brief stint.<\/p>\n Stuart’s return is also only for a few episodes, both airing this autumn. Fans are wondering if Ben will be transferred to a prison in the UK, and if it could lead to a permanent return to the soap for actor Max at some point in the near future.<\/p>\n Get the latest drama from the Dales by joining our Emmerdale WhatsApp group<\/p>\n As drama continues to unfold in the Yorkshire Dales, the Mirror has launched its very own Emmerdale WhatsApp community where you’ll get all the latest breaking news, secrets, and spoilers delivered straight to your phone.<\/p>\n Users must download or already have WhatsApp on their phones to join in.
