EastEnders: Hopes for the return Jim Branning
John Bardon who plays Jim Branning in EastEnders will be returning after he suffered a stroke in June last year. He is said to have told bosses at the BBC he wants to be back in the soap by the summer.
An insider from the show told The Sun “John is doing really well and we’re overwhelmed he wants to return. Other people who have suffered serious strokes can be given a boost by watching [him].”
June Brown who plays his wife Dot is said to be thrilled at the thought of his return.
