Mandy Salter is back!
This autumn will see a certain blast from the past returning to EastEnders as Nicola Stapleton returns to play Mandy Salter.
Back when Mandy was in the Square, Phil would cheat on his partner, Ian was a slippery businessman and Pat wore some crazy earrings.
Ahh how times have changed! But will Mandy be the same chaotic wild child from the 90s? She certainly wasn't a force to be reckoned with, so it's more than likely that she'll be causing trouble for a few residents of Walford.
Nicola says: "I'm looking forward to playing Mandy again; it will be interesting to see what she's been up to all this time."
So, where do you think Mandy's been? And do you think this once troublesome teen will clash with anyone in particular? Leave your comments below...

I think Mandy will clash with Bianca with her returning before the end of the year too.
I remember her voice getting on my nerves.

I'd love to see scenes with her and Janine together, she is just as troublesome as janine, they both have had troublesome childhoods and have turned to prostitution (but in the form of clipping for Mandy). It would be great to see them as friends or enemies even.
It's funny that her mum was shirley, it would be wierd seeing them doing scenes together, just look like it was wierd seeing Shirley and Pat together, as when she was Mandy's mum she knew Pat as they both were prostitutes

What a way to challenge the opposition's storylines - a new minicab firm in Walford. Let Ozcabs give Craig Charles a run for his money!!

Where has she been!? I think she has been to college, bagged herself a wealthy man and is returning with a mechanics qualification and enough cash to buy Mitchell Motors. I would also like to see her punch Ian... not that I am condoning violence, but nobody has hit Ian in a while.
