### Chrissie Watts RETURNS to *EastEnders* after 20 Years – Explosive Drama Ahead | *EastEnders* Spoilers
*EastEnders* fans, brace yourselves—Chrissie Watts is making her dramatic return to Albert Square, and it’s happening sooner than you think! The show has officially confirmed that Chrissie will be back next week, and her return promises to ignite a firestorm of drama in the community. In July, it was announced that Tracy-Ann Oberman would reprise her role as the iconic villain Chrissie, nearly two decades after her last appearance. Chrissie is best remembered for killing her ex-husband, Den Watts, and then conspiring with Zoe Slater and Sam Mitchell to cover up the crime. Although Sam was initially convicted, the truth eventually came out, and Chrissie was charged with murder and sent to prison. Her last appearance aired in 2005.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Chrissie’s comeback is set to air on Monday, September 9th. While details of her return are still under wraps, *EastEnders* has promised that her arrival will send shockwaves through Albert Square. The exact reasons for her return and what she’s been up to all these years remain a mystery, but one thing is certain—her presence will stir up old wounds and create new tensions among the residents.
Sharon Watts, who hasn’t been having the best week after being found in contempt of court during Dean’s murder trial, could find herself in even deeper trouble if she crosses paths with her former stepmother, Chrissie. Their reunion is bound to be explosive, with unresolved animosities likely to resurface. Meanwhile, Kat Slater, who also has a history of conflict with Chrissie, especially over the involvement of her sister Zoe in Den’s murder, may not be too thrilled to see her back in the Square either.
The drama is set to unfold over the course of the week, with the tension building up to a climax in the episode airing on Thursday, September 12th. Fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions and intense confrontations as Chrissie’s return shakes up the lives of those in Walford. Tracy-Ann Oberman, reflecting on her time as Chrissie, recently shared that one of her favorite moments from her previous stint on *EastEnders* was when her character was punched in the face by the late Peggy Mitchell. With memories like that, it’s clear that Chrissie’s return will be anything but quiet. Get ready for an unforgettable week on *EastEnders* as the past comes back to haunt the present in the most dramatic way possible!
