AN EASTENDERS legend has sparked return rumours after reuniting with co-star for sweet snap.
Robert Kazinsky, who played Sean Slater in the long-running BBC soap, shared a snap alongside Lacey Turner – four years after he last appeared on the show.
His appearance with the actres – who played Sean’s onscreen sister, Walford icon Stacey Slater until October last year – has sparked rumours that the pair could make an EastEnders return.
Rob took to Instagram to share the unexpected snap with his 30,000 followers.
Posting the selfie, he wrote: “Love from Brazil (seriously who’s idea was that?)
“Like time never passes with the best of the best. @laceyturner”.
The pair were both beaming in the selfie, which marked their first appearance together in almost four years.
His post received over 14,000 likes in less than 24 hours on the platform.
Lacey, 37, who looked radiant as she went makeup-free in the pic, responded by leaving a heart emoji in the comments.
While fans instantly began lapping up the possibility of a Stacey and Sean reunion in the comments section.
One wrote: “Can we please bring Stacey & Sean back together
Another said: “Love to see you and Lacey back in eastenders”.
A third commented: “Oh this makes my heart happy long live the slater siblings”.
While Max Branning actor Jake Wood also added fuel to the reunion rumours.
He left a love heart emoji in the comments, which was also picked up on by fans.
One queried: “Oscar looks more like Sean than max maybe a new story coming?!!!”
Brother-and-sister duo Sean and Stacey have not appeared together on the show since April 2022.
The episode marked Rob’s final appearance on the long-running programme, as he made a brief cameo in the form of a FaceTime call.
Rob first appeared on screens as Sean back in 2006, with this year marking 20 years since his character’s debut on the show.
The milestone anniversary year for his character may provide the perfect reason for him to return to Walford.
So far, there’s no official word around Rob’s potential return to the BBC soap.
The rumours come as Stacey Slater star Lacey Turner continues her extended break from the show – to focus on family and other projects.
The Sun previously revealed news of her departure from the show, after playing her iconic character for over 21 years.
Speaking ahead of news of her temporary departure, she said: “I think as any working person, you weigh up your options and I do what is best for us really.
“That may change as they change, as they grow. If something doesn’t work, then you change it.
“I personally do my best and we do our best and that works.
“I really love my job, I will always do.
“As you get older you get a bit braver and a bit bolder and I’m at an age now where I will do what is right for us.”
