The comeback adds to a year of cast changes, with returns, debuts and departures reshaping the BBC soap’s Albert Square storylines.
- Actor Robert Kazinsky will reprise his role as Sean Slater on EastEnders later this year, returning to Albert Square 17 years after his 2009 departure from the BBC soap.

- Speaking about his return, the actor said he "can't wait to bring a new level of heartfelt chaos" to the show, aiming to explore how Sean has matured as a man.
- Sean's return to Walford is for family reasons that "are set to become clear" in future episodes, with executive producer Ben Wadey welcoming the actor back to Albert Square.
- This casting announcement coincides with other major changes for the soap, as reports indicate actor Aaron Thiara is set to leave EastEnders after four years to pursue new projects.
