London: So, guess what? There’s buzz that Pat Butcher, the iconic character from EastEnders, might be back for the show’s 40th anniversary! Can you believe it? Pam St Clement, who played her, is rumored to make a comeback.
Pat, with her flashy earrings and unforgettable personality, first appeared in 1986. She quickly became a fan favorite. Remember her wedding to Frank Butcher? That was a classic moment!
Over the years, Pat kept us entertained with her love life, multiple weddings, and her feisty friendship with Peggy Mitchell. Those two had some epic showdowns!
Sadly, Pat passed away on New Year’s Day in 2012, leaving fans heartbroken. She died after battling pancreatic cancer, and it was a tough moment for everyone who loved her character.
But wait, there’s more! In 2016, Pam made a brief return as a ghost in Peggy’s final episode. It was such a touching moment, and fans loved seeing her again.
Now, 13 years after her on-screen death, there’s talk of her returning during the anniversary week in February. The odds are looking good for Pam to join the celebration!
As the big day approaches, other beloved characters have popped back up too. It’s like a reunion of sorts, and everyone’s excited to see who else might show up.
Even Paul Bradley surprised fans by coming back as Nigel Bates after 26 years! It’s all happening in Walford, and the excitement is real.
So, could we really see Pat Butcher again? Fingers crossed! EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:39 PM on BBC One and iPlayer, so don’t miss it!
