Laurie Brett, best known as Albert Square's Jane Beale in EastEnders, is all set for an epic TV comeback, featuring in a flashback episode of the BBC hit series Casualty. The Lanarkshire-born actress, who will be 55 this year, is returning to our screens this Saturday (February 15) for a special cameo on the BBC medical drama, and fans are delighted.

Laurie will step into the role of disciplinarian midwife Marie Mayhew, bringing us a glimpse into character Jodie Whyte's past during her student days at Brockwell Hospital. As teased by BBC previews, "In her flashback to her days as a student midwife, Jodie grapples with trauma from her past. But as she navigates her heartache, she seeks closure in the wrong places."

Laurie plays Maria Mayhew in the upcoming Casualty episode

Jodie, brought to life by Anna Chell, burst onto the medical drama scene in 2023 and has since been entangled in intense plots, from being spiked and abducted to discovering her long-lost father was her boss, not to mention surviving a bomb scare. Excitement is brewing among fans over Laurie's new role, with social media abuzz.

An eager fan posted: "Can't wait for Jane's new role as a nurse in a flashback #Casualty episode, we praise you Laurie Brett", while another shared their delight, exclaiming: "OMG Laurie Brett (who plays Jane Beale in #EastEnders) is in next Saturday's episode of #Casualty".

Laurie joined the EastEnders cast in 2004 after catching the eye of the soap's casting director during her performance in the West End hit Les Misérables. Before becoming a Walford regular, she had appeared in TV favourites like London's Burning, The Bill, and the BBC sitcom My Hero, reports the Mirror.

Laurie was introduced to Albert Square as part of a crew working at a traveling funfair before becoming a permanent resident, entangled in gripping plots until her dramatic departure in 2017, forced out by Max Branning (played by Jake Wood) under threat to her family.

Fans were overjoyed when she returned to the show last year for a plot involving Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and her kids. Last year she also underwent surgery for an undisclosed medical issue last year and took to social media to express her gratitude towards the NHS.

On X (formerly Twitter), she shared a photo with her cherished teddy bear, captioning it: "We have to ring fence and protect our @NHSEngland #whittingtonhospital from any politics. An all party agreement. Thanks especially to Nicole for post op care. Thanks to everyone @thegirlsmusical @UnitedAgents and my darling@garyaknichols for feeding and looking after me."
