Fan favourite left the show in 1988 and made a return for the special episode
EastEnders fans were stunned as a soap legend returned after 37 years for the show's 40th-anniversary special. The fan favourite, who left the show in 1988, made a shock return, marking the milestone in a momentous way. In an interactive twist, fans will decide key story outcomes, including whether Denise Fox reunites with her estranged husband or her secret lover, and whether Sonia’s baby will be named Julia or Tony in honour of the show’s creators. The special episode also featured a dramatic car crash into The Queen Vic pub. Fans can participate in the decision-making process by visiting http://bbc.co.uk/eastenders.
