EastEnders enthusiasts are buzzing with speculation about the comeback of a fan-favourite character. Scarlett Alice Johnson first graced the BBC One soap as Vicki Fowler in 2003. As the
offspring of iconic characters Dirty Den Watts (portrayed by Leslie Grantham) and Michelle Fowler (played by Susan Tully), Vicki quickly became a Walford sensation during her brief yet
impactful tenure. The mischievous Vicki was at the centre of several key plots. Notably, she arrived on the scene with a distinct American twang, which mysteriously transformed into a
British accent as her storyline progressed. Despite featuring in 194 episodes over almost two years, Scarlett departed from the series in 2004, with Vicki leaving to join her mum in the
States before eventually settling in Australia with Spencer Moon to manage a bar, reports the Daily Star. However, whispers among fans suggest Vicki might be making an explosive return to
Walford, although there appears to be one sticking point. A Reddit user speculated: "Anyone else miss the watts in Eastenders only one left is Sharon maybe they should cast more distant
Watts family I wouldn't mind seeing Vicki returning." (sic). Soap enthusiasts were quick to voice their opinions, with many rooting for Vicki's return but humorously hoping
she'd ditch her American twang. One viewer commented: "I think bringing Vicky back could be good. As long as they don't try and make her do an accent she'll be fine. But
it's been so long they could even bring in a new actress.." Another fan concurred: "Bring back Vicki! Just without that accent." Meanwhile, another speculated:
"I'm thinking she's going to make an appearance next year at some point for the 40th anniversary." Should Vicki re-enter the world of EastEnders, she'll be in the
company of soap icon Chrissie Watts, who is set to make a dramatic comeback this year after a 19-year hiatus. The buzz is high since it was recently confirmed that Chrissie will grace Albert
Square once more for a brief spell. Details about her return are shrouded in mystery, but it's expected to cause quite the stir. Tracy-Ann Oberman, who's reprising her role as
Chrissie, expressed her excitement: "Chrissie Watts was such a great character to play - a victim or a villain. She is a real fan favourite so, when Chris Clenshaw asked me to come back
and re-visit her and see what has happened in the last 19 years, I jumped at the chance. The scripts are fantastic and I hope the viewers enjoy her as much as I am enjoying playing her
again."
