EastEnders Character Returns

Picture from BBC

Next year BBC One's EastEnders will welcome back another familiar face to the Jackson family, Billie Jackson. Devon Anderson will once again play Billie, a character he first played when he was six years old.

As previously announced, Carol Jackson, played by Lindsey Coulson, returns to Walford early next year, as do three of her children, Robbie, Sonia and Billie.

Devon Anderson said: "I'm really happy to be back at EastEnders playing the role of Billie Jackson again. It was my first acting role and I can't wait to get started again. It is also very exciting that all of the Jackson family will be reunited and I'm sure that will be eventful for the viewers."

Diederick Santer, Executive Producer, said: "Viewers will remember Devon as the original Billie Jackson, the cute kid with the big hair. Devon, like Billie, is all grown up, and 12 years on I'm delighted to welcome this talented young actor back to the show."

EastEnders Scripts Stolen

Scripts for Christmas editions of EastEnders have been stolen in a burglary at the home of one of the soap's writers, the BBC has said.

Executive producer Diederick Santer said he is "keen" to recover the laptop which "contains the twists and turns of our exciting EastEnders Christmas".

Actors destroyed their scripts after filming seasonal scenes to minimise the risk of leaks to the press.

This year's specials will focus on dramatic events in the Queen Vic pub.

Precise details about the main storyline have been a closely-guarded secret.

The festive double bill will be screened on Christmas Day.
