Patsy played Emma Harding, who had a rocky relationship with her daughter but attempted to reconnect with her amid her harrowing terminal brain tumour battle.

Now, in an interview with The Sun, Patsy has admitted she would love a soap comeback after revealing that EastEnders was her “dream job” and a career highlight.

Speaking on the red carpet of this year’s British Soap Awards, Patsy revealed: “Soap is something that I love and I loved my time at Emmerdale and my 4 years at Holby City but then I went into EastEnders.

“EastEnders was actually my dream job, I’ve wanted to be in that show for years.

“If I could throw a wish out there it would be that Emma could come back to see Lexi (her granddaughter).”

Airing her thoughts on a possible return storyline after her episodes aired in 2023, Patsy added: “There could be some conflict or tension and there are a million possibilities.

“The writers are amazing at what they do and yeah I’m just putting it out there!”

She continued: “Everyone is at the top of their game (on EastEnders).

“They are the hardest working people in the business and everyday I learned something and so had to embrace the opportunity.”

Emma arrived in Albert Square when she was tracked down by Phil Mitchell ahead of Lola’s then-impending wedding to Jay.

Although Emma initially turned down the chance of a re-connection, she eventually learned of her daughter’s shock diagnosis after seeing it in one of Lola’s many vlogs.

She then checked in on her daughter from afar, including donating money anonymously.

Emma later confessed all to Billy Mitchell in which she admitted she was forced to flee from her daughter’s life after suffering horrific abuse at the hands of Lola’s father – including being scalded with boiling water.

Whilst Lola and Emma eventually reconnected briefly, they were left fragile and Emma was not around as her daughter passed away.

Emma was last seen as she quietly attended the funeral before slipping away once again.

So could Emma make a much-wanted comeback two years on to attempt to build a bond with Lexi?

The British Soap Awards air on ITV tonight at 8pm.
