The drama in Walford reaches new heights with the shocking return of Chrissie Watts, one of EastEnders‘ most infamous
characters. Chrissie, portrayed by actress Jacqueline Jossa, is back after a 20-year absence, and her return promises to shake up the Queen Vic and beyond.
Chrissie Watts, once married to Sharon Watts’ father, Den Watts, is remembered for her dramatic and violent actions two
decades ago. After discovering Den’s affair with Zoe Slater, which led to a pregnancy, Chrissie’s quest for revenge culminated
in a dramatic showdown at the Vic. The infamous confrontation, where Zoe knocked Den out with a dog-shaped doorstop, ended with Den’s death and Chrissie’s imprisonment. Now, with her return to Walford, questions loom about whether she has changed or if the years have only hardened her further.
As Chrissie re-enters the scene, the fate of The Vic is uncertain. The Queen Vic, a central hub of community and drama, is set to experience upheaval with Chrissie’s presence. Her interactions with old foes and allies will be closely watched as she navigates the complex relationships and simmering tensions in the pub.
In a separate storyline, tensions are high as Elaine George and her nephew Cojo face challenges of their own. Cojo, having struggled with his needs and exhibiting troubling behavior, lashes out at Johnny Carter, leading to a series of distressing events. Elaine, overwhelmed by the situation, feels unequipped to handle Cojo’s needs, resulting in him slipping away in distress. George, discovering Cojo missing, is devastated and blames Elaine for the situation spiraling out of control.
The return of Chrissie Watts and the escalating drama surrounding Cojo’s situation ensure that EastEnders continues to deliver intense and compelling storytelling. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Chrissie’s presence will impact The Vic and whether unresolved issues from the past will resurface, creating even more tension in Walford.
