Lindsey Coulson Promises EastEnders Return

Actress Lindsey Coulson has promised she will return to EastEnders after taking a break from the BBC One soap.

It was announced earlier this year that the actress would take a temporary break from playing Carol Jackson on the BBC One soap. Viewers recently saw Carol take her grandchildren and leave Walford, moving to Suffolk, following daughter Bianca’s (Patsy Palmer) financial struggles and return to prison.

During an appearance on ITV panel show Loose Women the actress revealed why she had taken some time out from EastEnders and promised viewers she would return. “I just needed to not have Carol in my head for a little while. When I signed last year, I just said, ‘Would it be okay if I could have a little time out?’ And they kindly said yes……..EastEnders is a perfect job – for me it’s 25 minutes up the road with lovely people. I really like working there. I’m going back in August, actually”

Lindsey Coulson isn’t the only actress taking a break from EastEnders at the moment as her co-star Patsy Palmer is also taking break and is expected to return by the end of the year. Actresses June Brown and Charlie Brooks are also taking time out from the soap and next year Jo Joyner is also expected to leave the soap on a temporary basis. Earlier this year Jessie Wallace took several months out from the soap but has since returned to the set.
