Charlie Brooks Back Filming EastEnders Ahead of Janine's Return

Charlie Brooks, who has played the villainous Janine Butcher since taking over the role in 1999, has been spotted at Elstree as she returns to film her Albert Square comeback.

Charlie arrived at a car park before swapping cars and arriving at the studios in a blacked-out people carrier.

After a few hours of filming, The Sun reported that Charlie returned to her car and headed home. Janine's return was revealed back in April when an insider reported that "bosses have a huge story planned for Charlie’s return."

The insider told The Sun at the time: "she certainly has a lot of history in Albert Square so whether she will be welcomed back with open arms or not remains to be seen."

When asked by The Metro if Janine was returning home, Charlie simply said: "All I can say is I always wonder what she’s been up to and I’m in a really lucky position where one day that might be able to be explored. I was blessed with Janine."

Details about Janine's huge storyline are yet to be revealed, but with the actor already back filming we're sure it won't be long until we find out.

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
