Ronni Ancona will play the character of Bea, an old acquaintance who reunites with Linda (Kellie Bright) at their high school reunion – but it soon becomes apparent that the former schoolmates "have different accounts" of their shared history.
One of Britain’s most celebrated impressionists and character comedians, Ancona is best known for starring in BAFTA-winning BBC series The Big Impression, which she fronted alongside Alistair McGowan in the early 2000s, mimicking EastEnders' legends Peggy Mitchell, Sharon Watts and Kat Slater. She has also delivered dramatic performances in the likes of Skins (2009-2010) and Last Tango in Halifax (2012).
EastEnders' Executive Producer Ben Wadey added: "I’m delighted to welcome the immensely talented Ronni Ancona to EastEnders playing the character of Bea. Bea’s character is mysterious, and we’re thrilled to have an esteemed actress and comedian like Ronni playing her."
Linda is currently off our screens, with Kellie Bright taking a break from EastEnders as her character enjoys a lengthy cruise, but will first reappear in an episode scheduled to air on Monday, 15th December.
