EastEnders character makes big return to soap four months after sudden exit

EastEnders airs the return of Ash Panesar next week, new BBC soap spoilers have confirmed.

The character, played by actress Gurlaine Kaur Garcha, made a sudden exit in January leaving fans gutted.

Gurlaine was only taking a short break though, with it revealed she would be back in Walford in some point.

Now, spoilers have confirmed Ash is back on the show next week - after Gurlaine was recently revealed to be filming again.

Ash had departed after a huge clash with her family, especially her mother Suki Panesar.

The mother and daughter fell out over recent goings on, leading to the nurse making an abrupt exit - with her family devastated.

It will be happier times next week it seems when she heads back home, as Ash and Suki finally make amends and move forward.

Meanwhile Suki appears to be hiding something amid the happy reunion, as she reads a letter that leaves her feeling tense.

She covers when Dotty Cotton and her son Vinny Panesar arrive, but she is soon asking Eve Unwin for legal advise.

Eve has helped the family out a couple of times in recent months, significantly when Suki's son Kheerat faced prison for attacking serial killer Gray Atkins.

Suki turns to Eve again in the coming episodes, but what is she hiding and how will it impact her family?

Back to Ash, and when she does return next week Suki is shocked to see her, with her keeping her return on the hush.

The pair catch up and sort out their differences just in time for Ash's 30th birthday.

She's the topic of conversation just before this too, as Vinny and Dotty discuss her birthday - unaware she's heading back.

After a tough year or so for the family, here's hoping there's better times ahead with Ash firmly back in the fold.
