EastEnders star Rob Kazinsky hinted at Sean Slater return eight MONTHS ago – but nobody noticed

ROB Kazinskey dropped a huge hint about his return to EastEnders eight months ago – but nobody noticed. 

Last night it was revealed Rob, 42, will make a move back to Walford as Sean Slater later this year. 

But in January the actor appeared to hint at Seans comeback with a social media post. 

He reunited with Lacey Turner, who plays his on-screen sister Stacey Slater, and shared a sweet snap of them together. 

At the time Rob wrote: Like time never passes with the best of the best. @laceyturner.

Seans first EastEnders appearance came in 2006 and he hasnt lived full-time on Albert Square since 2009.

already gone?

EastEnders fans convinced Zoe Slater's final scenes have already aired

The character made guest appearances in 2019, 2021 and 2022.

Speaking of his comeback, Rob said: I left EastEnders in 2008 as a 23-year-old boy and was lucky to spend the next 19 years of my life working around the world, always championing EastEnders and stating the fact that one day I wanted to walk in Seans shoes again, but this time as a man to see who Sean the man might also be.

I wanted to do it for Sean, I wanted to do it for the fans that have supported me in every role since I left the Square but, mostly, I wanted to do it for me.

Im home, and I cant wait to bring a new level of heartfelt chaos to Albert Square in the way only Sean Slater can.
