Former punk Mary Smith (Linda Davidson) returns to EastEnders for a one-episode guest appearance tonight just in time for the funeral of Dr Legg - and she'll be bringing daughter Annie along with her.

Annie was last seen as a pre-schooler when she and her mum departed Walford back in 1988, but will return this evening, now aged 34. Back in the mid-'80s, the character was played by three different little girls - Zara Posener, Jenna Alembick and Samantha Crown - but has now been recast, with actress Marilyn O'Brien taking on the role.

Her screen credits include roles in Doctors (as Ellie Malone and solicitor Anita Morris), Life of Riley (as Miss Carter), A Touch of Cloth (as Julie), Endeavour (as Prue Carter in the episode Home) and The People Next Door (as Lisa).
