As Nigel’s memories and altered reality take him back to the 1990s, Pat returns to The Queen Vic to help him when his dementia symptoms intensify following an emotional evening at his festive film screening.
And, just hearing about it is already pulling at my heartstrings.
Speaking on her return to EastEnders, Pam St Clement enthused: ‘I was both surprised and excited to be asked back to tread the streets of Walford once again and to be involved in Nigel’s touching dementia storyline.
‘It was lovely to be welcomed back by those with whom I had worked for so long. It was just like coming home.’
Ben Wadey, EastEnders Executive Producer added: ‘It’s an honour and a privilege to welcome Pam St Clement back to EastEnders for a special episode in Nigel’s ongoing dementia storyline.
‘Pat Evans is one of the most cherished and iconic characters to have graced the streets of Walford, and I know I speak on behalf of everyone when I say what a delight it was to see Pat and Pam back in The Queen Vic as she helps Nigel in his time of need.’
