It was announced today that Michelle Fowler is returning to Walford, she is remembered for the huge Dirty Den pregnancy storyline, but Susan Tully who played her has refused to return to the soap, mainly because she is a successful director behind the scenes.
Michelle is the best friend of Sharon, the sister of Martin and the mother of Vicky. She is also the mother of Grant Mitchell's secret love child, Mark.

Meet Jenna Russell, the new face of Michelle Fowler. A source told The Sun: “Eastenders have been trying to convince Susan to come back for more than 20 years but they agreed enough was enough and have decided to recast the role.
“They thought Jenna was a great fit and think she will do a great job as Michelle who is one of the most popular characters in the show’s history.
“The show has faced accusations of being boring lately, but curveballs like this shows it still keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.”
Michelle has not stepped foot in Walford since 1995, missing the funerals for father Arthur, mother Pauline and brother Mark, and was mentioned by Ian Beale when his daughter Lucy died.
What do you think? Could we see the return of Mark Fowler Jr and his sister Courtney?
