EastEnders villain James Willmott-Brown seems to be turning his attentions back to Kathy Beale again in these brand-new pictures.

Willmott-Brown made a shock return to the BBC soap on Friday night, when he was revealed as the mastermind who's pulling the strings in Max Branning's revenge plan.

Long-term EastEnders fans remember Willmott-Brown as the man who raped Kathy in a hard-hitting storyline in 1988.

He hasn't stepped foot on Albert Square since 1992, but these newly-released photos show Willmott-Brown paying a visit to the place he once called home.

Although Willmott-Brown doesn't come face-to-face with anyone from his past, he does take the opportunity to step into local café Kathy's while nobody else is around.

Is this an early sign that Kathy is still very much on Willmott-Brown's mind after all these years? The scenes in question air in this Friday's episode, so there may not be long to wait until we find out.

His comeback has finally helped viewers to join the dots in Max's ruthless scheme after nine long months – and fans have been promised that the upcoming storyline will be one of power, control, money and revenge.

Speaking last week, William commented: "I'm delighted to immerse myself once more in the fascinating world of Soapland."
