EastEnders' Tameka Empson hints at Vincent Hubbard's return
Vincent’s (played by Richard Blackwood) fate is still unconfirmed with EastEnders viewers uncertain as to whether or not he was shot.
Fans speculated that he was taken by Aidan Maguire’s (Patrick Bergin) henchmen after he went to give them up to the police.
He left behind his wife Kim (Tameka Empson) and their daughter Pearl, who faced being evicted from their home.
With the family in debt and struggling to stay afloat following his absence, could fans expect him to make a surprise return?
It certainly seems that way if soap star Tameka’s latest interview is anything to go by.
The actress was appearing on The One Show when she appeared to confirm her co-star would be returning.
Following a hospital segment, Tameka was asked by nurse Emma: “When is Vincent coming back?”
“Well I know,” she replied. “When is he coming back?
“He should be back already is what I’m saying.
“I don’t know, I don’t know when he’s coming back, but you know, he’s gonna come back for this isn’t he?” she added pointing to herself.

She went on to tease: “Watch this space Emma.
“I hope he comes back bearing gifts.”
Later on the BBC show, Tameka opened up about why Kim hasn’t been panicking too much about her husband’s disappearance.
“When he goes and disappears over the weekend, she thinks okay maybe he just needs some time,” she said.
“She isn’t worried too much but then she begins to think, ‘That’s unusual.’”

Tameka continued: “When she first started, she was very happy-go-lucky and single but now she is a mother and a wife and she takes it more seriously.
“When things got wrong, she wants to be involved and be part of the solution.”
Addressing recent criticism of rival soap Coronation Street, which has been branded as “too dark”, Tameka insisted their needs to be a balance.
“People who tune into watch it want that balance,” she stated.
The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One at 7pm while EastEnders continues Friday on BBC One at 8pm.
