EastEnders is set to be rocked by the return of Patsy Kensit in the role of Emma Harding in upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n

Emma, Lola Pearce\u2019s (Danielle Harold) estranged mum, caused ripples when she entered the soap earlier this year in the wake of her daughter\u2019s cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

She caused plenty of upheaval in Lola and daughter Lexi\u2019s (Isabella Brown) lives as she came and went at her leisure, much to the anger of Lola\u2019s husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) and Lexi\u2019s father Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).<\/p>\n

Now, as Lexi returns to some form of normality after losing her mother, Emma is set to crash back into all of their lives.<\/p>\n

As we gear up for more chaos in the Square, many soap fans may need a refresher of when Emma first graced our screens and when she bowed out.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

Who did Patsy Kensit play in EastEnders?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Patsy made her EastEnders debut in January when she entered the soap as Lola Pearce\u2019s estranged mum, Emma Harding.<\/p>\n

She arrived on the soap on January 25 after Billy (Perry Fenwick) and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) tracked her down in the run-up to her daughter\u2019s wedding to Jay.<\/p>\n

Emma questions why Dan Pearce (Paul Warren), Lola\u2019s father, didn\u2019t track her down, to which Billy drops the bombshell that he died 10 years prior, but what he doesn\u2019t inform her about is Lola\u2019s devastating brain tumour diagnosis.<\/p>\n

After learning she has a granddaughter, Lexi, Emma returns to Albert Square to meet her and reconcile with Lola, watching them from afar as she is too nervous to introduce herself.<\/p>\n
