Natalie Cassidy is in talks to return to 'EastEnders'.

The 25-year-old actress is desperate to reprise her role as Sonia Jackson in the BBC soap opera and show bosses have already started talking to her about the possibility of a comeback.

A source said: "Natalie would love to go back and watched the show avidly."

Patsy said: I would love her to come back

The actress' former co-star Patsy Palmer - who returned to the soap as Bianca Jackson, Sonia's half-sister, last year - is also keen for her to return.

Patsy said: "I would love her to come back. I mean, she is family! I've told bosses that it's a good time, when you think about it, as the Jacksons are back now as well."

Natalie left the soap in 2007 to pursue other projects, but has always remained open-minded about the possibility of returning.

She said at the time: "I love 'EastEnders' very much. It's my second home, but I feel it's time to try new things. But it doesn't mean Sonia won't be back."
