It has been 13 years since Chrissie Watts was last spotted on Albert Square, but could Tracy Ann Oberman return to EastEnders?
The former soap star was asked this very question during an appearance on Good Morning Britain today (January 2), and she suggested that she would be open to reprising her character.
The quotes come after new EastEnders showrunner Kate Oates suggested fans of the popular BBC soap can expect "a couple more secret returnees coming" in 2019.
"I think it's humbling," Oberman said of fans calling for Chrissie's return. "EastEnders is an incredible experience and to be part of this iconic show, and then also to have been part of murdering Dirty Den was very exciting. So I'll take it as a compliment.
"She made an impact with people, that character. It was beautifully written. So I do think it's great to have had a character who made that much of an impact."
Oberman added: "You never say never. When that phone call comes... She's done [more time in prison] than most actual murderers!"

The actress starred as Dirty Den's second wife between April 2004 and December 2005.
The February 2005 episode in which Chrissie killed Den drew more than 14 million viewers.
However, Chrissie was eventually caught and arrested for the crime and was last seen in prison, preparing to plead guilty.
EastEnders airs on BBC One.
