A first glimpse at Sean Slater's EastEnders return has been revealed, as Rob Kazinsky has begun filming.
Last week, Kazinsky confirmed that he will be returning to the BBC soap for an "explosive" short stint, although details had been kept under wraps.
But new on-set pictures have suggested that Sean will be sleeping rough in an old car and working at a stable. He has bruises and cuts all over his face.
Kazinsky has also been spotted filming with Gillian Wright, who plays Sean's mother Jean Slater.
Sean's original exit storyline back in 2009 saw him plunging into a frozen lake with Roxy Mitchell. He survived and fled Walford.
"EastEnders is still the most important serial on British television, never afraid to combat hard storylines and tell hard truths," Kazinsky said, at the time of the initial announcement.

"I have always been proud of what EastEnders has done for social awareness throughout my lifetime, and that is why I'm back – to tell a story that means something to me with the family that I know can tell it right.
"I can't wait to see my Slaters again and see what's in store for Sean as he brings an evolved animal to Albert Square."
EastEnders airs on BBC One.
