EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has confirmed when Linda Carter will return to Walford, following Kellie Bright's maternity leave.
Linda has been away from the Square since last September, but made a brief reappearance at Christmas. In real life, Kellie, who plays her, welcomed her third child with husband Paul Stocker last year.
We already knew that Linda's comeback wasn't too far off thanks to some recent paparazzi pictures that show her making a scene at Tina's funeral. However, it's now been confirmed she'll be back from Monday, April 4.
As the Carters prepare to say their final goodbyes to Tina next month, Linda threatens to throw the day into jeopardy when she turns up as well.
Official spoilers released on the EastEnders website have now offered the first teasers of what to expect:
