Did you have a nice trip? Jamie, 53, plays bad boy Derek Branning in the soap
He joined the cast of EastEnders in November, as Max, Jack and Carol's bad boy older brother Derek.
The character was previously played by Terrence Beesley, who appeared in several episodes of the soap in the mid-Nineties.
A racist character, he had huge issues with younger sister Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) marrying now ex-husband Alan Jackson because he was black.
Derek and his father Jim (John Bardon) stormed out of Carol and Alan's 1996 wedding in protest.

Despite the character's absence over the past 15 years, he has been referred to by his remaining on-screen family.
In a conversation in 2007, Max reveals Derek would be unable to attend his son Bradley's wedding to Stacey because he's in prison.

He is the son of Freddie 'Brown Bread Fred' Foreman, a former gangster associate of the notorious Krays brothers.
Ready to rumble: Jamie returned to the soap as Derek to see his brother Max Branning (Jake Wood) and ex-sister-in-law Tanya Jessop (Jo Joyner)
Jamie said back in November: 'I am hugely excited to be joining such an iconic show. EastEnders is full of fantastic actors so it is a role I couldn't refuse. The Brannings are such a great family to be joining and I am extremely interested to see how Derek is going to fit in.'
EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said: 'Loyal EastEnders viewers may know that the fearsome Derek Branning, eldest son of Jim, has been a shadowy presence looming over the rest of the family for years.
'So it's a real coup to sign Jamie Foreman to play the biggest, baddest Branning brother.
'Jamie has an incredible acting pedigree, having starred in some of the best British movies of recent times, and we can't wait for him to bring his unique talents to Walford.'
