EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has revealed full details of Chelsea Fox and Lucas Johnson's Christmas comebacks.
It was announced earlier in the autumn that Chelsea – who was last seen in 2010 – would be returning to Walford, with Zaraah Abrahams taking over the role from Tiana Benjamin.
What to Read Next
Although further details about Chelsea's story were kept under wraps at the time, the news came following the announcement that her serial killer father Lucas would be returning as well. Don Gilet has reprised his role as evil Lucas.
New spoilers for EastEnders' Christmas Day special have revealed that "lies and deceit will be exposed as Denise comes face to face with a ghost from her past – Lucas".
While Denise's blood runs cold as she comes face to face with Lucas again, there is a bigger concern – he has Chelsea in tow.
Fans will have to tune in to find out just why father and daughter are together again, but Chelsea is equally shocked to see her mum with her young son Raymond.
As Denise arrives home following her encounter with Lucas, she gets an opportunity to explain herself when Chelsea knocks at the door.
Worried for her daughter, Denise desperately warns Chelsea that Lucas is extremely dangerous.
Denise isn't the only one in turmoil over the situation, either, as it soon becomes apparent that a protective Patrick has gone on a one-man mission to track down Lucas himself.
Patrick's fears are shared by Kim, who has a plan to try and keep Denise safe. Patrick and Kim then join forces to approach Jack – in the hope that he'll support their idea.
While Kim is determined to do whatever it takes to protect Denise, it's clear that Patrick is a bit more uneasy about what they're planning to do.
Despite this, Patrick follows it through as he take matters into his own hands – but has he crossed the line and made things much worse?
EastEnders will air Lucas and Chelsea's return in a 55-minute special at 9.10pm on Christmas Day.
