Attention Walford residents, brace yourselves because Chrissie Watts is making a comeback! After 19 years, Tracy-Ann Oberman is reprising her role as the iconic character on EastEnders for a short stint. It's been a long time coming, as Chrissie was first introduced in 2004 as the second wife of the original Queen Vic landlord, Den Watts. Her return follows Den's historic comeback as the pub owner.
From the start, Chrissie was a hit with viewers, quickly becoming a fan favorite. She was involved in many memorable moments, like cutting off Kate Mitchell's hair when she found out about her affair with Den. But perhaps her most infamous moment was being pushed into an open grave by an angry Peggy Mitchell.
However, Chrissie's biggest storyline involved a scheme with Sam Mitchell and Zoe Slater to confront Den, who had wronged all three women. The showdown ended in a dramatic and shocking way, with Den ending up dead on the floor of his beloved pub. While it was believed that Zoe delivered the fatal blow, it was actually Chrissie who delivered the final blow, using Pauline Fowler's dog-shaped doorstop.
The trio of women buried Den's body in the barrel store, but Sam couldn't handle the guilt and decided to dig up his remains on Sharon's wedding day to Dennis Rickman. This led to Phil and Grant Mitchell returning to Walford to rescue Sam, who was framed for the murder. They eventually exposed Chrissie in 2005.
Even though she hasn't been on the show for almost two decades, Chrissie has remained a firm fan favorite. But what brings her back to Walford after all this time? It's safe to say she has a few enemies waiting for her, especially Kat Slater, who may still hold a grudge over what Chrissie put Zoe through.
But her biggest nemesis is Sharon, who will surely be furious to see her father's murderer back in the Square. Expect some major fireworks between these two!
While Chrissie may have gotten away with murder for a while, eventually justice was served and she was caught for her crime. But now, she's back in Walford and it's anyone's guess what she's up to. Tracy-Ann shared her excitement about reprising the role, saying that Chrissie was a great character to play, whether as a victim or a villain. She's thrilled to see what has happened in the past 19 years and is loving playing Chrissie again.
EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw, who has helped bring the show back to its former glory, is also delighted to welcome Tracy-Ann back as Chrissie Watts. He's keeping tight-lipped about the exact circumstances surrounding her return, but promises that it will never be quiet when Chrissie is around. With so many enemies in the Square, how will they react to her comeback?
Tracy-Ann has already started filming and fans can expect to see Chrissie back on their screens in the autumn. EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and is available for streaming from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
