EastEnders star Tracy-Ann Oberman's brutal swipe at the soap resurfaces as she prepares to reprise her role as Chrissie Watts


The actress, 57, is set to reprise her role as Chrissy Watts for a short stint this autumn, nearly two decades after her last appearance.

Alongside Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) and Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), Chrissie attempted to cover up the murder, burying Den under the floor of The Vic barrel store. But when Sam drunkenly dug up the body, she was held responsible for the murder until Phil ( Steve McFadden) and Grant Mitchell ( Ross Kemp) returned to help their sister and uncovered the truth, with Chrissie being sent to prison. Several ex-cast members previously returned for Dot Cotton's funeral on 2022, including Colin Russell (Lord Michael Cashman CBE), Barry Clark (Gary Hailes) George 'Lofty' Holloway (Tom Watt), Mary 'the punk' Smith (Linda Davidson) and Disa O'Brien (Jan Graveson).
