EastEnders fans were told a major character would be returning to the Square before Christmas and it seems it is none other than Lucas Johnson (played by Don Gilet). The BBC soap announced the former villain would be making a comeback later this year, but whose storyline will he be involved in? Denise Fox (Diane Parish) is still living in Walford, and her life is about to be turned upside down by Ellie Nixon (Mica Paris) and her son, Raymond’s illness. Could Lucas have something to do with these two newcomers?
EastEnders’ official Twitter account wrote: “Don Gilet is returning to Walford as one of E20’s most notorious bad guys, Lucas Johnson, later in the year.
“Four years after he left The Square his comeback is set to cause shockwaves amongst the residents.
“Has his time inside done him any good? #EastEnders #BigReturn.”
Speaking about his character’s return, Don said: “I’m thrilled and honoured to be asked to breathe life once again into such a complex, controversial and divisive character.
“Most importantly, to have another opportunity to work alongside one of the UK’s finest actors, Diane Parish.
“I feel blessed.”
EastEnders’ executive producer Jon Sen added: “Bringing back Don to the Square has been on our wish list for some time now as there’s definitely some unfinished business with Lucas and he certainly hasn’t let Denise go.
“His reign of terror put him firmly up there with Walford’s biggest villains and I can’t wait for audiences to watch his return unfold.”
As for the comeback storyline, it seems Denise is going to have the shock of her life.
“Lucas’ return is going to be explosive – not least for Denise.
““Her world is going to be turned upside down when her killer ex walks back into her life.
“It’s going to spark to a major storyline that will run and run and the question will be – is Lucas reformed?” A source said to The Sun.
