The BBC has sent fans wild with a new EastEnders<\/a> trailer, which confirms the return of two legendary characters. Viewers have been questioning when Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean<\/a>) would be making a return to the soap after she left before Martin Fowler’s funeral. Leaving off screen, it was announced that she had gone off to visit Michelle in Australia<\/a>, after struggling with the aftermath of Martin’s death.<\/p>\n

Now, a rare trailer has confirmed Sharon will be back on screens soon, as well as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan<\/a>). Zoe made her shock return to the soap earlier this year during Ben Wadey’s debut episode, but quickly fled to Barcelona after a close run in with mother Kat.<\/p>\n

Alfie then went off to try to find her, but unfortunately failed. It looks like she’ll be making her return to Albert Square soon, however, and fans can’t wait.<\/p>\n

In the trailer, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace<\/a>) can be seen applying her signature red lipstick in the mirror, as her daughter Zoe can be seen getting out of a black cab.<\/p>\n

Halfway through, a small clip of Sharon standing under an umbrella with Patrick appears, as well as another with Freddie and Stacey standing laughing together.<\/p>\n

The drama picks up by the end of the snippet, as Kat and Zoe finally come face to face – leaving Kat looking stunned.<\/p>\n

The exact date of the pair’s return hasn’t been confirmed yet, but with a trailer being released, we can expect it to be very soon.<\/p>\n

Fans are overjoyed to see the duo back on the Square, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a>, to celebrate. “so much to unpack here, Zoe, SHARON, cinematic trailers being back,” penned one excited fan.<\/p>\n

“Kat and Zoe!! and Sharon’s back!!!” exclaimed another, while another nostalgic fan said: “Omg an Eastenders trailer are we in 2008!!!”<\/p>\n

“The return of Sharon\u2019s 2018 weave omg!!” said another, noticing her new hairstyle. “Flawless classic Eastenders trailer. The best show on television is back!!!” another tweet read.<\/p>\n

As well as Sharon and Zoe’s return, the BBC<\/a> soap have confirmed the return of a handful of other legendary characters. Max Branning, Ben Mitchell, Stuart Highway <\/a>and Anthony Trueman will all be making their way back to the Square anytime soon…<\/p>\n
