EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins has assured fans that Kathy Beale's return storyline will be "convincing".
Future episodes of the BBC soap will explain where Kathy has been since 2006, when she was thought to have been killed in an off-screen car accident.
Hit play below to see Treadwell-Collins and Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale) talk all things Kathy in a video chat with Digital Spy:
Kathy's return aired as a shock storyline twist in a live segment during EastEnders' 30th anniversary week in February.
Since then, Kathy has remained off screen - but Gillian Taylforth has recently been back on set to film another brief teaser scene featuring the character ahead of her full-time return later in the year.
Treadwell-Collins and Woodyatt were speaking to Digital Spy at Wednesday night's House of Fraser BAFTA TV Awards Nominees party. The official ceremony will take place in London on May 10.
