EastEnders fans convinced legend is making a shock return as part of George’s baby farming plot – eight years after exit

EASTENDERS fans think a show legend could return as part of a major new baby farming storyline.

In the coming weeks George Knight will attempt to come to terms with the way in which he was put up for adoption as a child.

As a youngster George's birth parents advertised for prospective parents to pay a sum of money to father him.

The arrival in the square of his adoptive parents Gloria and Eddie will lead him to question everything he thought he knew about his upbringing.

Viewers have now made a potential link between George's family and Aunt Babe (Annette Badland), who left the Square eight years ago.

They recalled how Babe had been involved with baby farming in the past and believe it's plausible she was somehow involved in George's transaction.

One viewer wrote on X: "omg wait this is such a good way to bring aunt babe back."

Another said: "Need her back asap."

A third wrote: "Oh I hope she’s coming back."

Babe was last seen being slung out of the Queen Vic after is was discovered she left her sister Sylvie to die.

She has most recently worked on award-winning Apple+ show Ted Lasso, playing tough landlady Mae, alongside Jason Sudeikis.

Annette's soap exit was a troubling end for a character who was widely-loved by viewers for her naughtiness.

In her four years on the soap, Annette became synonymous with her soap character.

Speaking last year the actress, who could make a return to EastEnders, said she got death threats from playing the evil character.
