June Whitfield in EastEnders Return

June Whitfield is set to reprise her role as Sister Ruth in EastEnders, according to The Radio Times. June, who played a nun in a special episode back in May this year, will be seen again in the BBC soap opera early next year.

As someone who rarely watches EastEnders, I was really impressed with June's episode. She put in a wonderful dramatic performance and had great chemistry with Jessie Wallace (Kat Slater). The story was engaging and it stood alone as a one off play. I will definitely be tuning in again when Sister Ruth comes back to Walford!

June is of course a British comedy legend, with credits on stage, film and television dating back to the late 1940s. The star of four classic Carry Ons, she is also due to celebrate her 90th birthday next month.
