EastEnders icon set to make soap return 20 years after quitting Albert Square
ok.co.ukEastEnders icon Hannah Waterman, who famously played Laura Beale until 2004, gears up for a return to the world of soaps. It's been nearly two decades since she left Albert Square after her character was killed off.
Hannah bid farewell to the British audience in 2013 with an appearance on Doctors before relocating down under, and has since featured in several Australian dramas.
Now, she is set to appear in Home and Away, taking on the role of a magistrate, much to UK fans' delight come December.
