Dedicated EastEnders fans, this ones for you – Walford legend Doctor Harold Legg, played by Leonard Fenton, will return to the show this autumn.

Harold appeared in the very first episode of EastEnders over thirty years ago and served as Walfords local GP until 1997. In his time in that quiet corner of East London, Harold dealt with murders, breakdowns, abortions and suicides. Hes returned on a few occasions since, including for Mark Fowlers funeral. Since his departure, the square hasnt changed all that much.

But there was always one constant in Harolds professional life – his most frequent patient, Dot Cotton. Harold entertained Dots hypochondria and her myriad worries, ailments and questions. Soon, the two had developed a very close bond. Fans last saw Harold in 2007 when the doctor briefly returned to help Dot.

Dot admired and trusted Harold, so will no doubt be thrilled to have him back in the area.
