EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has teased that her legendary character Janine Butcher will have a new love interest when she steps foot in Walford.
The iconic villain, who's been away from Albert Square since 2014, will be back and causing havoc with her daughter Scarlett in tow.
Speaking to hosts Rochelle Humes and Alison Hammond on This Morning, Charlie was quizzed on whether romance was on the cards for Janine.
"I think she needs to love herself before she can love someone else," she said, but added: "There is one night that she spends with somebody when she comes back..."
Opening up on what it was like to be back, she said: "I am so happy. I'm really happy to be here.
"The timing felt right, the character had been away for a significant amount of time... who knows what she's been up to?"
However, Charlie admitted she was "nervous" when she first came back as she hadn't seen anyone on the soap in a long time.
She said: "I was thinking, 'Who is Janine now?' I feel like I've got big shoes to fill and I need to meet everyone's expectations."
"
Everyone has been so nice," Charlie continued. "Such an amazing bunch of new people and old faces as well.
"To come back, it's like nothing's changed really with a lot of people
"We've got a couple of younger, new characters," she said. "When they first walk onto the square, I love being there with them for that experience.
"It's really nice to relive that sometimes."
Teasing what was to come with Janine and Scarlett, she said: "High drama - where Janine goes, drama and chaos follows.
"She's good at being bad, so let's say we can expect a bit more of that... there's a big fire that happens, which I can't say too much about."
