EastEnders fans reckon that Jane Beale’s (Laurie Brett) long-awaited return is imminent

following the release of new spoilers, which hint at a big twist next week. The BBC One soap

is gearing up to reveal what exactly it is that Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) is hiding, with the

legendary character quite clearly harbouring a secret. His behaviour piques the interests of son Peter (Thomas Law) and wife Cindy (Michelle Collins), with the latter coming to believe that her partner is having an affair. Ian, however, makes it quite clear that this isn’t the case but, nonetheless, Cindy is determined to work out the cause for his suspicious behaviour. In a bid to get the truth, Cindy asks ex-husband George Knight (Colin Salmon) to drive her to a mysterious address.

But just what will they find? That remains to be seen but, following the dramatic events, Cindy lays awake and when she later tries to talk to Ian he reveals another shocking truth. Fans have been left trying to work out what exactly it is that Ian is hiding, and a number of Metro readers believe that another massive return is on the cards – that of Jane Beale! ‘Please let it be Jane’s return!,’ wrote one excited viewer. ‘I’ve been waiting for it since the moment she left.’ ‘PLEASE SAY IAN IS VISITING JANE,’ added Alessia, while Claire said: ‘I literally hope and pray.’ Toby echoed their sentiments, writing: ‘jane, let it be JANE!!’.

Daisy responded to our soaps editor with ‘Pls this has to be about Jane i’m begging’ Jane was last seen in the Square in 2017 when Max Branning (Jake Wood) ordered her to leave alone, threatening Bobby’s life if she didn’t comply. Jane, as viewers will recall, had previously allowed Max to go to prison for the murder of Lucy, despite knowing that it was Bobby who killed her. But after all this time, will Jane stage her return? And if so, could it be tied to Bobby’s exit?
