EastEnders Comeback Alert: Fans Convinced Isaac Baptiste Is Returning to Walford!

Mystery Phone Call Sparks Fan Frenzy

The whispers began after viewers noticed a suspicious phone call involving Anthony, leading many to believe it could be linked to Isaac. The scene didn’t reveal who was on the other end of the line, but fans think the timing is no coincidence.

Isaac, who was last seen leaving Walford to live with his controlling mother, made a powerful exit after battling schizophrenia — a storyline that was both praised and criticized for its portrayal of mental health.

While the BBC hasn’t confirmed anything, EastEnders fans on social media were quick to speculate. One user wrote, “People are just guessing because of that phone scene, but there’s no proof!” Another commented, “Didn’t mind Isaac, but hated how they wrapped his story up.”

Still, the possibility of his return has sparked renewed debate about his exit and how the show handled his illness.EastEnders Soap Scoop - Mick left devastated


Isaac, Patrick, and the Paul Connection

The rumours took another twist when some fans linked the mysterious call not to Isaac — but to Paul Trueman, Patrick’s other son, whose death has always been shrouded in doubt.

Some longtime viewers argued that Paul’s body was never shown on screen, reigniting a soap classic theory: “If you don’t see a body, they’re not dead.” One fan added, “Patrick identified a body, sure, but that doesn’t mean it was Paul’s.”

Could the Trueman family be at the center of a long-buried secret — and could both sons somehow be alive?


Fans Divided Over Isaac’s Possible Return

Reaction to the comeback chatter has been mixed. Some fans welcomed the idea of bringing Isaac back, praising his earlier mental health arc:

“If true, I’d be thrilled. I loved how they showed his schizophrenia.”

Others, however, weren’t as keen:

“He was the definition of bland. There’s no need to bring him back.”

And while some think Isaac’s story is done, others see potential in reconnecting him with old flames like Lola Pearce — or even clashing with Jay Mitchell, reopening past emotional wounds.EastEnders fans 'rumble' Isaac Baptiste's true identity - and his link to  Patrick - Irish Mirror


Is There Any Truth to the Rumours?

At this point, the BBC has made no official announcement about Isaac’s return. Most clues stem from fan speculation on social media. However, EastEnders has a history of pulling off surprise reappearances — and with the Trueman family’s legacy deep in the show’s DNA, a comeback isn’t impossible.

Whether it’s Isaac, Paul, or someone entirely new, something is definitely brewing in Walford. For now, viewers are left to wonder: is this just a wild fan theory, or the first hint of a major return?
