EastEnders fans left stunned as iconic 90s star Paul Nicholls makes a surprise return to the soap as Joe Wicks after 27 YEARS


EastEnders fans were shocked on Thursday as Paul Nicholls made a surprise return to Albert Square.

Unfortunately, Paul's character Joe didn't actually set foot in the square, instead appearing briefly to chat on a video call with his father David Wicks (Michael French). David has had his hands full because he spent the week hiding a secret about a person named Holly, who viewers later learn is connected to Nicholls' character. David was planning on leaving Walford but was forced to stay for a few more hours after discovering Cindy (Michelle Collins) and Junior (Micah Balfour) kissing down the side of the pub.
