Joyner was last seen on the Square as Tanya in 2018 and has since weighed in on whether she’d like to return to EastEnders.
After ruling out a surprise appearance in 2019, the star gave soap fans a beacon of hope when she said she “would never say never” to a possible return in 2020.
“I would never say never, I really wouldn’t,” she said on the Distinct Nostalgia podcast at the time. “Because I’m so fond of that Branning family, and what they created and who they all might have become. Yes, I would [go back] one day.”
While that hasn’t happened (yet?), the soap has since brought back Tanya’s daughter from her marriage with Max Branning, Lauren.
