EastEnders: Dot Branning finally returns with granddaughter Dotty Cotton

Is it bad news?

Good news for EastEnders viewers… Dot Branning, played by soap legend June Brown, is finally making a return to Walford.

And she won’t be coming back alone.

Her granddaughter Dotty is with her. Die-hard fans will recall that angelic-faced Dotty was a nightmare last time she was on the Square.

They seem less impressed with the return of Dotty.

And the now-teenager is soon wreaking havoc in the Square, bringing problems to his grandma’s door.

A new actress, Milly Zero will be portraying her. (She was previously played by Molly Conlin.)

Speaking about her role, Milly said: “I am honestly so excited to be playing Dotty Cotton and joining the E20 family.

“Especially playing alongside June Brown, who I have been watching on my telly since I was a young girl.”

Show boss Jon Sen said: “We’re all super-excited to welcome Dotty back to the Square – sharp-witted and with an eye for human weakness, she’s not afraid to say what she thinks.

“We are also thrilled that Milly will be taking on the role – her versatility as an actress and ability to capture Dotty’s blend of sass, intelligence and vulnerability ensure that Dotty will return with a bang this autumn.”

Dot and Dotty’s return to Walford airs on Thursday 3 October, so not long to wait!
