Palmer hopes for Carol Jackson return

EastEnders star Patsy Palmer has claimed that producers should bring back her on-screen mother.

The actress, who plays Bianca Jackson on the BBC One soap, confirmed that she would be thrilled if Lindsey Coulson was recruited to reprise her role as Carol.

Palmer also confirmed that she is keen for Nick Berry and Michael French to return in their respective parts of Simon and David Wicks.

In an interview with We Love Telly magazine, Palmer explained: "I’d love to see Bianca’s mum Carol return and it’d be amazing to have Simon and David Wicks back."

Coulson ruled out returning to Walford in a TV interview last summer. She made her final appearance on the soap in 1999.
