An EastEnders spokesperson told Digital Spy: “We can confirm Charlie is back filming with EastEnders for a short stint, which will air later this year.”
Hunter hasn’t been seen on our screens since April 12th when his mum Mel Owen visited him in jail and offered him words of encouragement.
Charlie made his EastEnders debut in February 2018, and earlier this year Tamzin admitted she was “very sad” to see him depart the soap.
She said: “I feel very sad about not working with Charlie. He has a very bright future, so I’m excited for him as well.”

What’s more, one of Charlie’s relatives is still in EastEnders, with Jamie Borthwick (Jay Brown) revealing last October that he is related to the actor.
He said: “Charlie Winter and I are family.
“My great uncle is called Charlie Winter, so when they said there was a kid coming in called Charlie Winter, I was like, ‘Seriously?’
“Turns out we are second cousins.”
