Bubbly TV chef Rustie Lee has won a role in BBC soap EastEnders.

The flamboyant star, best known for her infectious laugh, will appear as Opal, the battleaxe aunt of street sweeper Gus.

Rustie, 54, who made her name on breakfast TV in the 1980s, will arrive in Walford in the spring. She said: "I'm absolutely over the moon to think I'm going to be in the Square. I can't wait."

Also, there is a picture of Janine for Frank's Funeral, and it's in the Sunday Mirror so when I get that later I'll scan it and put it up on here lool.

'Av a Butcher's at who's back

It's all set to kick-off in the Square as the Butcher kids return to the manor to bury wheeler-dealer dad Frank.

Killer Janine, dopey Ricky and trendy Diane give "Walford royalty" Frank a right Cockney send-off with horsedrawn carriage. But an insider revealed: "Tempers flare - the family has grudges."

Janine (Charlie Brooks) mourns wearing a "titfer" that could have been left in Frank's will.

And Ricky, played by Sid Owen, stays on in the soap for more drama with former wife Bianca (Patsy Palmer) and Frank's ex Pat (Pam St Clement).

Mike Reid, who played Frank, died from a heart attack aged 67 in Spain last July.

Janine Butcher returns to EastEnders

She was last seen fleeing Walford after her dramatic murder trial collapsed. But now EastEnders bad girl Janine is back and in black... for the funeral of her dad Frank Butcher.

Actress Charlie Brooks, 26, joined former Albert Square regulars Sid Owen (as her brother Ricky) and Patsy Palmer (his ex-wife Bianca) to film loveable rogue Frank's East End funeral. Actor Mike Reid died last July.

Janine fled the Square in 2005 - and hadn't been seen since.

Dressed in a chic black suit and trilby, Charlie said she was "honoured" to be asked back to Walford for the one-off tribute episode to be screened in April.

Your welcome. & there's a rumour going round that Lacey Turner will be leaving EE this year I hope it's not true, she's one of the best characters EE has had in ages, however I doubt that it's true, she has so much potential.

Babyfather star Don Gilet is to play Chelsea Fox's (Tiana Benjamin) long-lost father in EastEnders.

The actor, who also appeared in 55 Degrees North, stars as ne'er-do-well Lucas Johnson, who turns up in Walford after Easter to find the daughter he walked out on when she was a baby.

However, Chelsea had hoped that her dad might be a wealthy businessman and his arrival proves to be a major disappointment.

A show source told The Mirror: "Lucas is attractive, charismatic, strong and forthright but that isn't enough for Chelsea.

"Having never met her dad, who walked out on mum Denise when she was a baby, she's always imagined him as a flash businessman. But actually, he's just a dodgy geezer with a murky past."

Diane Parish (Denise) will return later in the year after giving birth to her second daughter.

BBC Official EE Site article:

Chelsea's long-lost father, Lucas Johnson, is to turn up in Walford in the spring. He'll be played by Babyfather actor, Don Gilet.

Chelsea has never met her father, and Denise hasn't given away much about him. When her dad comes back into her life, Chelsea's thrilled to have the chance to get to know him, but will she like what she finds?

Don Gilet, who will take the role, appeared as Leo Charles in The Line of Beauty , Nicky Cole in 55 Degrees North and Johnny Lindo in BBC2 drama Babyfather.

No problem

Janine was and is a great actress and that picture I added was her 'evil look' Im sure you remember that? Im sure shell be evil again its just her way

[Callum]

Loved tonight's episode. Nice to see Tanya & Chelsea back too. Poor Minty though, he's devastated now Hazel's gone, the spiteful woman. Loving Clare as well, I reckon Tanya will give her a job as a receptionist.
