It comes as EastEnders recently played out explosive scenes as Michelle Collins reprised her role as Cindy Beale after fans were led to believe she was ‘killed off’ in prison 25 years ago.

And now, Harding is back to cause chaos. She was branded ‘unlikeable’ by fans when she was last featured on the soap, mainly due to her abandoning her terminally ill child when she needed her most.

She is the mother of the recently deceased Lola Pearce-Brown, who died earlier this year after a long brain tumour battle in emotional scenes. Her actions in the show caused those closest to Lola to despise Emma.
