June Whitfield to make EastEnders return

June Whitfield will be making a special return to EastEnders as Sister Ruth early next year. With Alfie and Kat back on The Square, will Kat learn that she has another son that she doesn’t even know exists?

Kat and Alfie are heading for a life-changing time back in The Square and Sister Ruth’s involvement is set be crucial. She holds the key to a big part of Kat’s life - but are some things better off left in the past or will she confess her secrets?

I am so thrilled to be returning to EastEnders to revisit Sister Ruth," June tells us. "I am really looking forward to working with Jesse Wallace again.”
