EastEnders has confirmed when Bernie Taylor will return to Walford.
Bernie has been off screen since last October, as Clair Norris took a short break from the role.
However, she will be back in the Square from Tuesday, March 29 for the next chapter of her story.

Speaking to Digital Spy about Bernie's decision to leave last year, Clair said: "I think that Bernie is overwhelmed with everything and definitely needs some time away to clear her head. She needs a break. I think it will do her good to get away and take care of herself and the baby for a bit. That's her number one priority.
"We know Bernie will be returning to Walford, but who knows what she will be coming back to? She knows how much this is going to hurt Stuart and Rainie, but Bernie is determined to put the baby first."
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on BBC One.
