EastEnders: Charlie Brooks Talks Janine Butcher Return

Janine Butcher was last seen in Walford way back in 2014 when she left the country after managing to escape another murder charge.

Speaking to The Sun, Charlie reveals she was touched by the fan reaction to the story of her return: “What was amazing [when the story broke] was to see all the love from the fans.


"Going back is always something I think about, of course. And people still want to talk about me pushing Barry off the cliff, nearly 20 years later. The beautiful thing about Janine is, she’s very layered"

It is thought that Janine is returning as part of a huge storyline later this year, so what could that be?

It has been well speculated in the press that Maisie Smith (Tiffany Baker) will be leaving the soap later this year when her contract with EastEnders comes to an end, so it's possible Janine is involved in her niece's exit storyline.


Another possibility is that she could be the one to finally put a stop to Gray Atkins. Could Whitney reach out to Janine for help getting rid of Gray?

Janine has currently killed two of her husbands, could she be about to make Gray her third?

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
