It was Joyner's first scene on the show since leaving in 2013.
The popular soap star - who is back on EastEnders for at least two 30th anniversary episodes - later took to Twitter and admitted that she was "gutted" over the slip-up. She was immediately supported by co-star Laurie Brett (Jane), who shared the scene with her.
