EastEnders are set to welcome a newbie onto Albert Square in scenes set to air next week, but the arrival of Don will leave Sam Mitchell speechless.
The character, played by Nick Nevern is no stranger to fans, having appeared in a string of gangster films including the likes of Vendetta alongside Walford's Danny Dyer.
Next week, fans will see the hardman rock up on the BBC soap as Sam Mitchell's estranged ex-boyfriend as he attempts to win the heart of Phil Mitchell's little sister once again.
But unbeknownst to Don, Sam has secretly been enjoying a flirtationship with barman Zack Hudson, the brother of Sharon Watts.
Speaking to The Sun, a soap source said: "It's a huge coup for the show, Nick will really shake things up on his arrival.
"He'll be a great addition to Albert Square."
But Don's arrival doesn't please everybody, with Kat Slater being left stunned as she finds the strange man inside her home before discovering who he really is.
Don later finds Sam at Peggy's bar but she instantly takes the opportunity to manipulate her ex-boyfriend and use the situation to her advantage.
Following his arrival, it's unclear why Don is looking for Sam but after finding her, she spots a golden opportunity to use him.
The character played by Kim Medcalf Sam pretends to still be in love with him but it appears she could be using him to help her financially after being left out on her ear.
In a dramatic twist, she turns to her former flame, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Zack ( James Farrar ) but they refused to help her, leaving Sam in quite the pickle.
But after confessing her "love" to Don, he sees this as the perfect opportunity and attempts to win her heart even more by proposing to her with an elaborate performance.
While Don may be set to make his first appearance, it could be all over for one star as Suki Panesar's husband teased a dramatic showdown after confronting his wife.
After being bars for two decades, Nish Panesar returned to his family but was left speechless when Suki hadn't expressed a romantic interest in him, leading him to believe that there had been somebody else.
A furious Nish teased that whoever had been romantically involved with his wife would be on the firing line, but the true extent of Suki's romance is yet to be uncovered.
