EastEnders favourite Tameka Empson has teased a huge ‘return from the dead’ twist.
The actress, 48, is best known for her role as Kim Fox on the BBC soap.
While the character is currently settled with postman Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson), there was once a time when she wed the man of her dreams – bad boy Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood).
The two had been married while she was away on a cruise, and she subsequently gave birth to their daughter Pearl.
His apparent demise eventually came about upon meeting up with his old mate Aidan Maguire (Patrick Bergin).
Vincent was told to confess everything he knew about the Irish gangster, but as he got into the police car, the corrupt officer – an ally of Aidan’s – aimed a gun at him.
He was presumed to be dead, and a few months later, Kim gave birth to their son Mica.
When she encountered Howie, who was using Vincent’s identity and owned his wallet, he confessed that three years earlier he’d been working as a security guard on a building site and had witnessed a crime.
Three men arrived, but only two left. It’s presumed that the man who didn’t survive was Vincent – and Howie had found his wallet at the scene, therefore assuming his name.
Now, seven years on from Richard’s last appearance in the serial drama, Tameka has teased that viewers should ‘watch this space’.

Could he still be alive? Was his death faked?
Perhaps his wallet was simply lost on the site…
‘Well where is he? And if he turns up he’s got to turn up with something in his hands, cos it’s been a long while now’ Tameka joked to The Mirror.
‘We’ve cared for the children, out of house and everything. Watch this space people.’
