Is it possible that we may see Shirley make a comeback? EastEnders has been bringing back many familiar faces lately, but could there be another one on the horizon? A recent throwaway scene has us wondering if this could be the case.
In the recent episodes, Linda Carter was faced with a difficult decision when Fraser, one of Dean Wicks' associates, offered her a deal. He promised to confess to raping her if she dropped her statement against Dean for Keanu Taylor's murder. After much contemplation, Linda agreed to the deal, much to her son Johnny's dismay. This decision also left Denise Fox and Sharon Watts worried about the consequences it could have for their group, The Six.
Sharon attempted to convince Linda to rethink her decision, assuring her that she would support her no matter what. However, Linda was firm in her choice, even when threatened by Phil Mitchell. Later, she met with Fraser at Peggy's and laid out her terms for the agreement. But during their meeting, Fraser received a phone call that raised suspicions about another character possibly returning.
He told the caller that Linda was "eating out of the palm of his hand," and referred to them as "hen," suggesting it was a woman. Fans have speculated that it could be iconic villain Janine Butcher or Keanu's sister Bernie Taylor, but we have our own theory. The use of "hen" has us thinking that it could be Shirley, as she has a history of being close with Dean and defending him.
The speculation on social media has been rampant, with fans eagerly anticipating the return of another beloved character. Actor Matt Di Angelo, who played Dean, hinted at more returns leading up to the show's 40th anniversary, saying he was surprised by who was coming back. Could he be referring to Linda Henry, the actress who portrays Shirley?
