Rob Kazinsky ditches Hollywood for Walford as he jets into the UK to make a comeback to EastEnders

Rob Kazinsky will return to EastEnders to play Sean Slater as part of a shocking return, following a two year hiatus from the show.

The actor, 37, was spotted exiting a hotel where he was taken directly to Elstree Studios in Herfordshire, on Wednesday, where the soap is filmed.

He reportedly began filming scenes last week, with a storyline following Sean’s mum’s illness and his sister Stacey’s release from prison.

A resident of the USA, Rob has flown across the pond specially for his explosive comeback to the BBC One show. 

A show insider told the Daily Star: ‘Rob is back after two years away.

‘Producers have done everything they can to keep it hush hush. Only select people have been made aware what is happening.’

Now a Hollywood star, the British Soap Award winner has made a name for himself in tinsel town, having appeared in HBO’s True Blood and Marvel’s blockbuster movie Captain Marvel.

The source added: ‘For a big name like Rob to come back shows just how much he loves being part of the show.’

The on-screen rogue first graced the streets of Walford in 2006 before leaving for the first time in 2006.

He went on to briefly return in 2019 in which a mental health storyline saw his character contemplate taking his own life.

An intervention from his mum caused Sean to admit himself to a mental health facility while promising to return in time to take his former stepdaughter Amy Mitchell to her late mum Roxy’s bar in Ibiza for her 18th birthday.

With Jean announcing in the show that she had returned from a visit to see Sean only last week, it seems fans won’t have to wait much longer to see their favourite badboy.
