It comes after Jacqueline recently returned to the EastEnders set for a special episode for Dot Cotton’s funeral.

The BBC soap revealed six actors will reprise their roles for the special tribute episode, which sees Albert Square residents say their final goodbyes to their beloved laundromat worker.

Among the returnees are Jacqueline, who played Dot’s granddaughter Lauren Branning and said it was a breeze to return, and Tom Watt, who portrayed George “Lofty” Holloway.

Colin Russell (Lord Michael Cashman CBE), Barry Clark (Gary Hailes), Mary ‘the punk’ Smith (Linda Davidson) and Disa O’Brien (Jan Graveson) complete the line-up of returning actors.

It was previously revealed that soap opera bosses were working on a tribute to EastEnders legend June Brown, who died in April this year aged 95.

And now more details of the funeral scenes have been revealed, with each of the returning characters sharing their memories of Dot over the years.

While viewers have a chance to find out what the characters have been up to since they last set foot in Walford.

In the episode, Dot’s step-granddaughter Lauren returns to Albert Square for the first time since she left for New Zealand with son Louie on a new life.

And while much has changed at her former home, there is one Walford resident that catches her eye.

Jacqueline shared how she feels about coming back for the emotional story: “Coming back to EastEnders for Dot’s funeral was a no-brainer and it was a real honor to be invited back.

“I had a lot of fun, but of course it was bittersweet. It was great to be back, but it was hard to film this story. I can now tell viewers that Dot is getting the beautiful send-off she deserves.’

She concluded: “June was the light and joy of EastEnders. I had so much fun working with her, the incredible stories and how infectious and funny she was. June is a legend and I miss her dearly.’

The beloved character of Dot left the show in January 2020 to go to Ireland with her grandson Charlie.

She played the role of Dot for 35 years and was part of the Branning clan after marrying the character Jim Branning in 2002.
