Warning: Spoilers ahead
Guess who's heading back to Albert Square with her Sausage Surprise?
That's right, it's Jean Slater - and she has a devious plan to get her daughter Stacey out of prison.
Gillian Wright recently returned to the show's set to film a guest stint as Jean, while Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey, will be back on our screens on a permanent basis.
New details of Jean's return were revealed on This Morning today (July 10) as EastEnders released some exclusive story teasers to the ITV daytime show.
Soaps correspondent Sharon Marshall, also a regular scriptwriter for EastEnders, commented: "We know Stacey's on remand for Archie's murder, but her mother Jean thinks she's got a way of getting her out of prison.
"But how far is Jean willing to go to make her daughter listen?"

When Jean's return was announced last month, producers promised emotional scenes ahead as the show continues to explore how bipolar disorder affects both her and daughter Stacey.
And new on-set pictures, which show Jillian and Lacey laughing together, suggest that Jean's bipolar could be getting worse, as she is lying in a hospital bed with her daughter (accompanied by a prison guard) at her side.
Speaking of the upcoming storyline, Wright commented: "I feel very honoured to be asked to reprise my role as Jean Slater for a short while. The storyline promises to be challenging and exciting!
"I look forward to playing again with old friends and new, and to pick up the special relationship between Stacey and Jean."

EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "We are so pleased to have Gillian back with us to reprise her role as Jean Slater, albeit briefly. Stacey and Jean have such a rich, loving but difficult history.
"There is still so much to plumb between them as we delve deeper into what it means to have bipolar disorder as a mother but also as a daughter. There are some truly heartbreaking scenes ahead for our audience."
