EastEnders star Shaun Williamson has shared the heartbreaking reason he's returning to the BBC soap. Williamson last appeared on the programme in 2004 but will make his return to Albert Square for a one-off special this year. The actor played Barry Evans and left the programme after his on-screen wife Janine Butcher revealed all to him about her affair with Paul Trueman.
Barry will return alongside Pat Butcher to Walford as Nigel Bates's dementia symptoms worsen, forcing the pair, who have had a tense relationship, to work together to help him out.
“I wanted to raise awareness because in 30 to 40 years' time it's predicted that dementia cases will have doubled.
When the news of Williamson's return was first announced, the actor shared that he was in "complete shock", adding: "I have to admit to a few nerves (loads!) when I walked back onto the set of The Queen Victoria, but it was so great to work with old friends and colleagues on such a brilliant episode.
