EastEnders teases the return of fan-favourite character Sean Slater in a look ahead at next week's episodes.
Robert Kazinsky will be reprising his role as Sean for the first time in over a decade for an explosive reunion with on-screen mum Jean (Gillian Wright) and sister Stacey (Lacey Turner).
Check out the first look in a trailer below:
"Why are you even here?" Stacey wants to know as he shows up in the Vic, before telling him: "Everywhere you go, you hurt people! Everywhere you go, you cause trouble!"
A conflicted Stacey has been trying to get in touch with her brother for weeks, after finding out her mum Jean was desperate to reunite with him while battling ovarian cancer.
Sean has always been volatile and he certainly won't be mellowing, even with his mum's cancer battle. Filming pictures from earlier this year teased he'll have a graveside brawl with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).
What to Read Next
Friday's trailer revealed that they are brawling at Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell's (Rita Simons and Samantha Womack) grave, having both been married to the Mitchell sisters at different times.
Earlier this month, Gillian Wright said that she actually pitched bringing back Sean to EastEnders while discussing Jean's cancer storyline with the soap's new senior producer Kate Oates.
"Kate asked me various questions such as 'What would be on Jean’s wish list?' and that’s when I said Jean would want to find Sean," she recalled. "So it was a discussion really, it was great."
Oates previously told Digital Spy that Jean hasn't seen her son in "ten years", when they finally are reunited in Walford next week.
EastEnders will air Sean Slater's return scenes on Friday, April 26 at 8pm on BBC One.
