According to the Daily Star Sunday, the 37-year-old star returned to filming last week.
A show insider told the publication: “Rob is back after two years away.
“Producers have done everything they can to keep it hush hush.
“Only select people have been made aware what is happening.”
The actor has been based in Hollywood for more than a decade, appearing in shows like True Blood and films like Captain Marvel.
The source added: “For a big name like Rob to come back shows just how much he loves being part of the show.”
Rob made his debut in EastEnders in 2006 and remained in the show for three years – becoming a firm fan favourite as badboy Sean.
He made a brief return in 2019 for a special mental health storyline that saw his character Sean consider taking his own life.
After an intervention from his mum Jean, Sean decided against it and packed his bags to leave Walford to enter a mental health facility.
He promised to return for former stepdaughter Amy Mitchell’s 18th birthday to take her to her late mum Roxy’s bar in Ibiza.
However on-screen last week Jean returned from a visit to see Sean, and so his return is closer than expected.
It is not known how long Rob will remain on the soap this time.
