We've all been patiently waiting for the return of Shirley Carter on EastEnders. Her departure left a gaping hole in the show - her acerbic yet soft-centred character was a beloved part of life in Walford.
News of Kim Medcalf's recent return to filming has been met with joy, but this has been quickly followed by cries of disappointment that Shirley isn't yet back. We all want to see her scowl on the Queen Vic floor again!
Shirley's last appearance was at Christmas time in 2020, when she had to leave the Vic after the loss of her son Mick. Since then, Linda has taken over, and the Knight family have joined the mix.
We can only imagine the kind of one-liners Shirley would come out with if she was to return and face off with the likes of Elaine and Cindy. The possibility of a Christmas showdown between Dean and Shirley is also exciting - it could provide some very tense and emotional moments.
Sadly, there's still no confirmed date for Shirley's return. But, we can take comfort in the fact that Linda Henry's agency has confirmed that the door is wide open for her eventual comeback.
In the meantime, let's take to social media and share our urgent wishes for Shirley's return. It's been too long already!
