Lucy Benjamin is set to bring her EastEnders character, Lisa Fowler, back to Albert Square as she returns to the BBC soap opera later this year. The character was last seen on our screens four years ago, leaving for Portugal with daughter Louise (Tilly Keeper) and granddaughter Peggy.
Lisa’s return to EastEnders is destined to wreak havoc for Peggy’s dad Keanu Taylor, who also fathered a child with Phil’s wife Sharon. Keanu and Sharon are currently playing happy families on the show as they co-parent their son, Albie, together.
Speaking of her return, Lucy said in an interview with The Mirror: "I can't wait to return as Lisa after leaving for Portugal with Louise and Peggy in 2019." No doubt, in true Lisa fashion, she will bring plenty of drama for many of the characters, which is why playing her is such a delight.”
