Details from the filming reveals that Lauren's return to the country gets dramatic when a sniffer dog finds some sort of substance in her bag. Also featuring in the scenes are Lauren's young son Louie Beale, and her cousin Penny Branning, now played by Kitty Castledine.

"I didn't expect to start my EastEnders journey so soon out of drama school – I can't actually believe it!" Castledine said when her casting was announced.

"The inclusion of disabled talent on screen is so important to me as a wheelchair user, so I'm thrilled to be playing a character as feisty and cool as Penny. She's thrown into the middle of the drama straight away, and I can’t wait to see what she gets up to."

Jossa recently revealed that her return wasn't a "flying visit" and is "as permanent as anyone there is permanent". However, she joked she might "ruin" the show after being away for so long.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
