EASTENDERS fans have been left stunned as two rarely-seen characters made a shock appearance.
Viewers of the hit BBC One soap tuned in on Monday night for the first fix of the new week.
During the episode Karen Taylor's twin boys Chatham and Riley made their return to Walford.
Fans haven't seen the teenagers on screen since 2020 when they were sent to live with their dad during lockdown.
Both boys suffer from Neurofibromatosis, which is a condition that causes tumours to grow along the nerves of the body.
Their long-awaited return happened as Mitch Taylor organised a surprise birthday party for Karen.
