Lin Blakley looks set to return to \'EastEnders\' for a short stint.

The 70-year-old actress has played Pam Coker on and off since 2014, and she is preparing to head back to Albert Square "soon" to reprise her role for "a couple of episodes".

She said: "I love going back. I\'m going back soon. Just for a couple of episodes and I love it. I love popping back. I\'m so happy and pleased that I\'m able to do that.

"I haven\'t been back for a year but I\'m going back for a couple of episodes, so that is wonderful."

Lin is grateful to \'EastEnders\' for giving her the role as Pam, admitting the part "opened a few doors" for her as an actress.

She added to Express.co.uk: "I absolutely love everything about it. I\'m glad they chose me because it certainly opened a few more doors for me as an actress.

"Coming back into the business at the end of 2003 I didn\'t quite expect to do something like this.

"Being in people\'s homes four nights a week. I can\'t tell you how thankful I am for that."

Pam first appeared in Walford as the wife of Les Coker (Roger Sloman) in April 2014 but the two characters departed Albert Square in October 2016 following the death of their grandson Paul Coker (Jonny Labey), who was killed off in a homophobic attack a month earlier.
