Libby then returned to Walford in 2014 for a three year stint on and off.

But now she’s back in Walford and made a shock appearance in the New Year’s Day flashforward set in 2027.

The move means that Libby will be back in Walford for definite then – but also she’ll be making appearances before then.

Libby was seen rushing into her mum Denise’s house and finding her phone ringing – at the same time as Jack Branning was calling brother Max’s mysterious bride.
