THE ENDER?
EastEnders fans convinced show icon will DIE this week after spotting clue
They revealed that he has joined the soap as a series regular, meaning Jordan definitely survives his ordeal.
Here For The Drama posted: “We are SO proud of our student Jahsaiah Williams, who has been cast as regular role Jordan Fox , son of Chelsea Fox, on BBC 1 hit Soap Eastenders.”
Jahsaiah will have a busy few months as The Jattvibe recently revealed how his on-screen dad will be making a shock comeback.
Gray Atkins was last seen in Walford four years ago after being exposed as a serial killer and domestic abuser.
Actor Toby-Alexander Smith has filmed his comeback scenes for the shocking storyline.
Although his reappearance will be short, as he is still serving a long prison sentence, it is set to cause drama for more than one Walford resident
A source said: “Gray’s return is set to be explosive. He’s got unfinished business in Walford and fans won’t see it coming.”
Gray’s first victim was wife Chantelle (Jessica Plummer), who he murdered in September 2020 after subjecting her to years of domestic abuse. Three months later, he killed Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) when she discovered what had happened to Chantelle.
Next it was Kush Kazemi, played by Davood Ghadami, who Gray pushed in front of a London Underground train in April 2021.
