EastEnders star James Farrar reveals new romance for Nancy Carter and Zack Hudson

EastEnders fans recently learned Sharon Watts had a secret brother, with them sharing the same father.

Sharon's dad Gavin Sullivan died off screen recently, and she soon discovered he had a son, Zack Hudson.

James Farrar will soon head to Walford to join his sibling on the Square, and there are tough times ahead.

But there's also set to be new romance too it seems, as James teased new scenes with returning character Nancy Carter.

Nancy's return story and details are yet to be explained, as the character was living in New Zealand with husband Tamwar Masood - after they both left Walford in 2016.

With him not appearing to return with her, it seems their marriage could be on the rocks - especially if she's set for lust with newcomer Zack.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, actor James teased Nancy's return will lead to Zack having his eye on the fan favourite.

He said: "There’s a certain blonde that is returning that I have a feeling there might be some friction with.

"Considering a lot of my scenes are with the Carters I’m sure you’ll be able to guess who that is…"

It was recently confirmed Nancy would be back five years after leaving Walford, while details are being kept under wraps.

Actress Maddy Hill said: "I’m SO excited to be coming back and reconnecting with all the hilarious, warm, talented cast and crew and meeting some lovely new faces.

"I absolutely loved playing Nancy and have often wondered what she’s up to, so feel very grateful to be able to rediscover her 5 years on!"

Jon Sen, Executive Producer, said: "We’re delighted to have Maddy back and I can’t wait for audiences to see what’s in store for Nancy.

"There’s a lot of mystery surrounding her return and she’s coming back to a family that have been through a very difficult year – things are definitely not as Nancy left them. Maddy is a fantastic actor and we feel very lucky to have her back in Walford."

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
