With EastEnders’ Vicki Fowler on her way back to Walford with a brand new head, it turns out original actress Scarlett Alice Johnson rejected an offer to reprise the role.
However, Vicki will return to Walford with new partner Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and his son Joel (Max Murray), which comes as a shock to her half-sister Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Spencer’s brother Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).
Vicki is the daughter of Martin’s sister Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully) and original Queen Vic landlord Den Watts (Leslie Grantham).
Over the weekend, it was announced the character – who was last seen in 2004 – would be making a comeback to the BBC soap following the on-screen death of her uncle Martin Fowler (James Bye).
Upon her return, Vicki will be played by soap newcomer Alice Haig, taking over the role from Scarlett.
