After a four-year hiatus, Patsy Palmer will return to her role as feisty EastEnders character Bianca Jackson. The actress, who first joined the show when she was 21, has already started filming her scenes which are expected to air this spring.
Bianca was introduced as the sharp-tongued daughter of Carol Jackson, played by Lindsey Coulson. Over the years, she has had her fair share of problems including a tumultuous relationship with Ricky Butcher, played by Sid Owen. Despite divorcing in 1999, the couple remarried when EastEnders turned 25 in 2010. Additional storylines have seen her deal with the abuse of her teenage stepdaughter and the discovery that David Wicks was her father.
In the upcoming episodes, Bianca will be visited by Whitney, her stepdaughter, following her off-screen break-up with Terry Spraggan, played by Terry Alderton. Chaos is expected to ensue as the drama unfolds.
Despite being absent for over four years, Chris Clenshaw, EastEnders’ executive producer, believes that Bianca is still a fan favorite. He is thrilled to welcome Patsy back to the iconic role and revealed that Bianca will be thrust back into the heart of the drama alongside Whitney.
Palmer, who is also a DJ, moved to the United States with her family in 2014 after a previous stint on EastEnders came to an end. She has had various other appearances on British television screens, including on Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice
