EastEnders legend REUNITES with the soap’s cast to film her return scenes after confirming she was heading back to Albert Square
EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer has reunited with the soap’s cast after announcing she would be returning for a ‘short stint’.
36-year-old James Ferrar shared a video on Instagram on Thursday of himself, Patsy and her daughter Shona McGarty joyfully singing Whitney Houston’s It’s Not Right But It’s OK on screen.
All three actors were in costume, while Patsy, 51, wore her character Bianca Jackson’s signature huge gold hoops.
James captioned his post: ‘Since returning from Nepal I have been leaving for BBC Elstree at 5am and returning at 8.30pm.
“The upcoming long days and other challenges in 2024 were part of the reason we decided to embark on a trek…

James wrote in his caption: “You’re in for a treat… @patsypalmerofficial is back on set and what a joy it is for her to be everywhere on these long days.”
He continued, “I knew filming would be busy starting in January, so the adventure was a conscious decision to gain perspective before a tough few months on set.
‘Twelve hour hikes and the cold nights on the mountain helped me prepare for shooting in a t-shirt in the snow last Tuesday (it’s March in the story) – @aaronthiara_ you confirmed it boy.
‘A treat awaits you… @patsypalmerofficial is back on set and what a pleasure it is for her to be everywhere on these long days. Tish told me that Pats and I would move on. Full of life and gratitude. And absolutely electric like Bianca
The actor finished, “My training in January has not stopped. Those 5am starts are so I can train before going to set. I still have to take a sick day in any job; because I had never been sick from school a day.
‘I owe that to my training and nutrition, staying focused, keeping a diary and setting micro goals. And surround myself with the right energy. Moving my body is essential for my mindset… but so are my people.’
Patsy announced her return to the soap earlier this month, writing: ‘I’m so excited to be reprising the role of Bianca. EastEnders holds such a special place in my heart, so it’s always a pleasure to be back.”
Bianca was last seen in Walford in September 2019, when she attended the ill-fated wedding of her stepdaughter Whitney Dean (Shona).
Whitney married Callum Highway (Tony Clay), unaware of his relationship with Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).
James has not revealed whether he is leaving the soap with Shona. The two play Zack Hudson and Whitney Dean respectively
