    Phil & Grant a close second, I also loved Peggy's one off returns.

    I’m terms of actual return scene, Sharon 2001 and Kathy 2015 are the clinchers for
    Me

    As for the actual return stint, I quite liked Mandy Salter’s 2011-12 comeback

    Janine for me, closely followed by Pat’s ghost & Sharon in 2001.

    Sean is one I forgot to mention, his short return in 2019 was really good and gave him more character development in a week than some on screen characters have had in years. I never thought we’d see Robert in the role again so it was a nice surprise, glad he’s made more guest appearances since.

    Tanya’s return.

    She is a character I could watch all day, a fantastic actress too.

    I love Tan, Jo Joyner was the star of the show during the Stax reveal.

    Agreed

    Peggy's Face when she saw Sharon was priceless.

    First one I thought of was Dirty Den, “hello princess”. But Sharon’s was good too with Peggy in The Vic.

    “Hello Peggy”

    Sharon’s 2001 return was perfect.

    A lot of great examples on here but Sharon wins. They show was great then. All the great characters. And it was so OTT but the back and forth with Peggy was great.

    Kathy had the shock factor, but Sharon is unbeatable. Utterly triumphant and the look on Peggy's face was a classic!

    I liked Biancas return during Franks funeral week. Especially when the vicar said "Frank Butcher was a" then it cut to Bianca saying "dirty old man".

    Some other great ones mentioned.

    Bianca and the kids sleeping at the bus stop was heart wrenching, I’d argue that she was the best mother on the square as well as Tanya.

    That was a brilliant week of episodes and Bianca just slotted right back in.

    Sharon’s “Hello Peggy, bet you never thought you’d see me again” (2001)
    Sharon's return episode was by far the best and Kat's one of the worst.

    I much prefer Kat to Sharon as characters go though. Sharon used to be a great character and admittedly Kat is a shadow of her former self but where Kat is uninspiring these days, they have seriously jumped the shark with Sharon in recent years.

    That return ep in 2001 was legendary though. 🙏
