Tamzin Outhwaite is returning to EastEnders after being away from the soap for nearly 16 years.
The 46-year-old actress will go back to Albert Square in her role as Melanie Owen.
Her first scenes will be broadcast in the New Year.
Remember New Years Eve 1999, the ringing in of the Millennium when Mel married, and immediately left, Ian Beale? I remember it far too well:
After being arrested over Steve's money laundering, discovering he had been having it off with Sam Mitchell and discovering she was pregnant with his baby, Mel confronted everyone who had wronged her before leaving Walford. The show's creative director is promising an "incredible storyline" that will "awaken a lot of old ghosts".

Robbie Williams revealed yesterday how he ended up in intensive care from the mystery sickness that struck him down.
He asked fans to forgive him, stressing: “I haven’t pulled out of a tour for bad health since 1998.
“Now I am vegan, I do Pilates every day, I do yoga every day and have a really big burger on a Sunday.” And he’s getting better, he says.
