Walford legend Robbie Jackson is heading back to EastEnders as Dean Gaffney confirms his return
Exciting news for EastEnders fans as a familiar face is set to return to the Square later this year. Dean Gaffney will reprise his role as Robbie permanently. We last saw Robbie back in 2015, when it was revealed he'd split from his wife, Nita. He'd been living in India but decided to head to Milton Keynes for a fresh start with Bianca and her brood.
But what brings Robbie back to Albert Square?
Dean has said about his return: "I’m really happy to be back. I’m so lucky to be given the chance to work again with such a talented group of people. A big thank you to Sean and the team. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun."
EastEnders Executive Producer, Sean O'Connor, said: "I’m thrilled to welcome back Dean as Robbie Jackson, one of EastEnders’ most loved and most popular characters. Bridge Street Market has never quite been the same without Robbie policing it in his hi-viz jacket. Dean brings a wonderful warmth and fun to his portrayal of Robbie and I’m sure that audiences will take him to their hearts again, just as they have always done.”
