Over the years we've seen plenty of soap stars return to EastEnders after 'dying'; from Dirty Den making a comeback after he was shot and fell into a canal to Kathy Beale being dead for nine years but then returning to the Square - thanks to Phil Mitchell.
However one character who has been dead for a good few years but is often spoken about is the loveable Heather Trott.
She was brutally murdered by Ben Mitchell after he hit her over the head with a picture frame but now Cheryl Fergison - who played the character - has teased she could return to the show from the grave.

Sharing a photo of herself on Instagram she explained, "Ok so I’ve had lots of people asking if I could go back to @bbceastenders as Hevs long lost twin... so writers there’s a challenge and actually there is a storyline that could defo make that possible...
"Remember Hev’s mum (she was a wicked one) and aunt babes terrible past story of selling babies!! If you would like to see this epic come back let @bbceastenders know ... 👍".
It's safe to say that her followers were onboard and rushed to supports her 'return' with some even pitching storyline ideas.

Another said, "100% bring Hev back, mess with Ben's head a little hahah this is a most definite make happen @bbceastenders".
