💨 Abstract

Julie Bates, portrayed by Karen Mruk, returns to "EastEnders" after 27 years, reuniting with her estranged husband Nigel Bates. Julie first interacted with Nigel in the late 1990s, involving her work as a teacher, and later a romantic relationship. Nigel abandoned their home in Scotland after a dementia diagnosis, fearing he would be a burden. Julie, searching for answers, reconnects with Nigel in Albert Square.
