Walford favourites return for Dot’s final farewell
Dot Branning is being laid to rest following the death of actress June Brown earlier this year
Finally, Jacqueline Jossa will bring Lauren Branning home as her family gathers to honour her beloved step-grandmother. Lauren has been in New Zealand since 2018, where she started a new life with her son Louie.
But now she’s back, Lauren will find much has changed in Albert Square – and she’s very keen to get to know one handsome resident.
Jacqueline Jossa:
“Coming back to EastEnders for Dot’s funeral was a no-brainer, and it was a real honour to be invited back. I had a lot of fun but, of course, it was bittersweet. It was amazing to be back, but hard to be filming this storyline. I can tell the viewers now that Dot gets the beautiful send-off that she deserves. June was the light and joy of EastEnders. I had so much fun working with her, the incredible stories and how infectious & witty she was. June is a legend and I miss her very much.”
