FORMER EastEnders favourite Nick Berry makes a sensational return to Albert Square tonight – to say a final farewell to his character’s mum Pat Evans.
All credit to the big End for Pat
EASTENDERS fans must watch Pat’s farewell right to the END of the credits.
Nick, 48, who played Simon Wicks, has been lured back along with screen brother David, played by Michael French.
And instead of making a grand entrance, Simon will be seen sneaking to his mum Pat Evans’ grave in the dead of night – at the end of the tearjerker episode.
He will appear after the Albert Square legend is laid to rest at an emotionally charged funeral – right at the END of the credits.
Producers want Nick and Michael to help give soap star Pam St Clement, 69 – who played Pat – a rousing send-off.

Nick – who had retired from acting – began playing Wicksy in 1985 when the show started.
He left five years later when his character emigrated.
The star had a No1 hit in 1986 with Every Loser Wins. He then played PC Nick Rowan in Heartbeat for six years.
Michael, also 48, played womaniser David Wicks from 1993 to 1996 before starring in Holby City and Casualty – where he played consultant Nick Jordan.
Pat died on New Year’s Day when she lost her battle with cancer – after 25 years on the show.
One of Wicksy’s most prominent storylines was his adultery with Cindy Beale – played by Michelle Collins – and his subsequent feud with Cindy’s husband Ian Beale.
Tonight’s episode is on BBC1 at 8pm.
