EASTENDERS have released a first look at Charlie Brooks as she makes an explosive comeback in the role of scheming Janine Butcher.
The BBC One soap unveiled the clip on their social media channel and teased that, while Summer may be over, Walford is only just starting to heat up!
The actress, 40, can be seen speeding into Walford for the first time since 2014.
Wearing a green coat and a white high-collared shirt with a black bow on the front, Janine looks set to cause chaos as she looks straight ahead with a sinister stare.
Meanwhile, the residents of Walford go about their daily lives in locations including the Queen Vic, the launderette and the cafe.
Kim Fox, played by Tameka Empson, can be heard saying how the residents are ‘family’ and ‘all look out for each other’.
Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) all appear in the trailer.
As Honey Mitchell tries to cross the road, an oblivious Janine can then be seen careering past in a convertible car and almost hitting Honey.
The big question is: what has brought killer Janine back to the Square?
The news of Janine’s highly anticipated return to the Square initially broke in April earlier this year.

”Bosses have a huge story planned for Charlie’s return,” a source told The Celeb Report.
“They are keeping tight-lipped about whether Janine will come back as a reformed character after all the chaos she has caused in the past.”
EastEnders finally confirmed Janine’s return in July.
“I am beyond excited to be slipping back into Janine’s shoes and returning to the square,’ Charlie said at the time. “The time feels right and I can’t wait to find out what she’s been up to for the last seven years!
“She is and always has been SO much fun to play. Feels a bit like coming home. It’s good to be back.”
