EastEnders fans have predicted that Lee Carter will return to Walford this year.
Lee was last seen on New Year’s Eve last year when he returned to Albert Square.
Mick and Linda told their son that they were splitting up. But Lee quickly realised his dad was struggling with his mental health.
Later Mick told Linda the reason for his distant behaviour was because he was groomed and sexually abused by childhood carer Katy Lewis and that Katy’s daughter Frankie is his daughter.
Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Mick and Linda’s daughter Nancy will be returning to Albert Square after nearly six years away.
Actress Maddy Hill be returning to the role. But now fans are predicting it won’t be long before Mick and Linda’s oldest son Lee is back.
EastEnders: Fans predict Lee Carter will return
In a Digital Spy forum, one fan wrote: “With Nancy returning, I’m honestly surprised that they have not said that Lee is making a return. I actually love Danny Boy [Hatchard] as an actor.
“If he came back, I could certainly see him being paired up with Whitney again (although didn’t Mick say he had a new partner?)

“I wonder if they will ever look at his depression again. Would you like to see him back?”
One fan said saying: “He probably will be back at some point.” Responding to this, another said: “I say Summer.”
A third commented: “I have a feeling he’ll be back before the year ends.”
On Twitter, viewers also began to predict Lee would be back soon.
ok but if Nancy is returning I'm so hopeful for more Lee returns too, one preferably permanent #EastEnders
