EastEnders spoilers also follow.

EastEnders has confirmed the return of Kim Fox and Howie Danes in new scenes on the soap.

The couple departed Walford back in January after Howie was offered a temporary job on a cruise ship, with the exits coming due to stars Tameka Empson and Delroy Atkinson’s commitments away from the show.

In new scenes set to air next Monday (June 10), Kim and Howie walk into No 20 as Denzel and Nugget are partying with friends from the gym, with the event getting out of hand.

Chelsea covers for Denzel when he is interrogated by Howie and Kim after the party, though later on at The Vic, Chelsea is suspicious of Denzel when he departs the family gathering.

Later on in the week on Wednesday (June 12), Yolande and Patrick return – having departed for a holiday last month after she told Levi that Pastor Clayton sexually assaulted her.

Kim scolds Yolande and Patrick for leaving Denzel on his own while Howie struggles to connect with his son.

Howie later interrupts Denzel as he meets with Ebony, leading his son to storm off in embarrassment.

Yolande grows concerned about Levi’s lack of communication, and at The Vic, she asks Chelsea where he is.

Chelsea delights Yolande and Patrick by asking them to be Jordan’s godparents, though the heartfelt moment is dashed when Chelsea admits that Levi has left Albert Square.

Earlier this year, Tameka opened up about Kim and Howie’s exit, telling The One Show: “Kim’s gonna be okay! She’s gonna be okay – she’s going on a nice cruise with Howie and the children. She’s going to be enjoying herself. She’ll be fine!”
