Fans of EastEnders were thrilled to hear that Patsy Kensit, who previously portrayed Emma Harding on the show, is eager to return to Albert Square. The actress recently reunited with her former co-star Danny Dyer, who played Mick Carter, at a charity event in London, and during their catch-up, she made a playful plea for bosses to bring her back to the soap.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Patsy shared a selfie with Danny and expressed her admiration for her time on EastEnders. She said, “I had a wonderful time on @bbceastenders and I would love to be back on that show.” Her sentiment has sparked fresh hope among fans who are eager to see her reprise her role as Lola Pearce’s estranged mother, Emma Harding.
Fans quickly flocked to the comment section of the post, with many voicing their support for her return. One fan wrote, “You’d be great on EastEnders 😍 Absolutely, I might even start watching again,” while another added, “I would absolutely love to see you back.” The positive responses indicate that Patsy’s return would be welcomed by EastEnders viewers.
Patsy previously shared in an interview with The Sun that EastEnders was her “dream job” and a career highlight. She expressed her love for the soap genre and her time on the show, calling it one of her most fulfilling roles. She even said that if she could make a wish, it would be for Emma to return to Walford and reunite with her granddaughter, Lexi.
Patsy’s request for a return comes at an interesting time, as Danny Dyer, who left the soap in 2022, is rumored to be considering a return as Mick Carter. In a recent interview, Danny hinted at potentially reprising his role, despite having left the show due to storyline frustrations, including his character being paired with Charlie Brooks’ Janine and the controversial pregnancy plot.
With both Patsy Kensit and Danny Dyer expressing a desire to return to EastEnders, it seems there’s a possibility of the duo making a much-anticipated comeback. As for Emma Harding, her return could spark new drama, especially with her unresolved relationship with Lola and the ongoing dynamics in the EastEnders universe.
As of now, fans can only hope that the show’s producers take note of the growing fan enthusiasm and bring Patsy back to the Dales. After all, the return of beloved characters is always a hit with soap fans, and Emma’s return could reignite some intriguing storylines.
