EastEnders fans had to look twice in last night’s episode when a Coronation Street star appeared.

Actress Eileen Davies turned up in the Queen Vic playing an old friend of Ted Murray’s late wife Joyce.

She is best known for recently playing Flora McArdle in rival soap Corrie.

Viewers couldn’t quite believe it and thought that Flora had decided to move to Walford after inheriting £250,000 from her conman son Vinnie.

Joanie had returned as part of a treasure hunt from Joyce who had set it up before she died to keep her husband occupied.

She left him a series of clues, with a date with Joanie being the final one.

Though when she handed Ted the letter from Joyce, viewers were too distracted by the fact that the actress also played Flora to pay much attention to that.

One viewer said: “Someone tell daniel flora’s gone to London and is having a drink in the Queen Vic. #eastenders #corrie”

A third added: “Soooo Flora’s retirement home is in Walford #EASTENDERS #corrie”

A fourth excitedly posted: “OMG! Flora has turned up in Walford! #Corrie #EastEnders”

Others joked about Joanie actually being Flora, with one tweeting: “Flora going on a wander and going to the wrong street #corrie #eastenders”
