It’s not known who Amy will play, but it’s believed her time on the Square will be short as she’s only staying for a guest stint.
A show source told The Sun: “Bosses are keeping tight-lipped about how she’ll feature but regardless of what role she plays, she is sure to impress.”
ED! has approached EastEnders for comment.
Amy was a popular cast member on The Royal, the Heartbeat spin-off that ran for eight years.
It was set in a hospital and began life by treating the characters who were in police drama Heartbeat before earning its own series.
And Amy is no stranger to Soapland, having had a recurring role in Casualty as Police Sergeant Rachel James.
She also played Scott Drinkwell’s mum, Lynette, in Hollyoaks.

Amy is also the aunt of I’m A Celebrity… 2018 runner up Emily Atack.
EastEnders is on Monday and Friday at 8pm and Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm on BBC One.
