When does Bianca Jackson return to EastEnders?

EastEnders are yet to confirm exactly when Bianca will return to EastEnders.

However, the iconic character is expected to return to the soap in the coming weeks.

The Sun Online has exclusively revealed that Bianca will be back just in time to help Whitney through her murder trial.

She was back in September 2019 for Whitney's wedding to Callum - that never happened.

What is Bianca’s comeback storyline?

EastEnders’ gruesome Valentine’s Day saw Whitney finally escape the clutches of evil Leo after months of terror.

Leo seduced Whitney over a period of a few months but left her horrified when she realised that he was the son of her former abuser Tony King.

Leo had convinced himself that Whitney had lied about the abuse and had targeted her for revenge.

After lying in wait in her attic, the creep pounced on Whitney in her room and bared a huge knife.

As he pulled a terrified Whitney to the ground, she wrestled the knife from him and watched in horror as he fell on to the blade.

Bianca's comeback storyline is likely to centre on her long-suffering daughter's arrest and subsequent murder trial in upcoming weeks.

Why did Bianca leave EastEnders?

Fans will know that Bianca first left Walford for Manchester in 1999 following the break-down of her relationship with Ricky Butcher.

The iconic character made a dramatic comeback in 2008 and became embroiled in a harrowing storyline as her partner Tony King began to abuse her daughter Whitney.

When Whitney eventually spoke out about the abuse, Bianca reported him to the police and got him banged up behind bars - where he later killed himself.

In 2014, Bianca left the Square again to take Tiffany and Morgan to live in Milton Keynes.

Her last appearance was in 2019 when she returned for a few episodes to witness Whitney’s doomed wedding to Callum Highway.
