NADINE left a grieving Jay Brown with his jaw dropped when she rocked up Walford due to her striking resemblance to Lola Pearce.
Next week in EastEnders, her secret relationship with the mechanic becomes public knowledge. Could it bring him trouble?
Jazzy Phoenix joined the BBC One soap in September, 2023, when she was first introduced as guest character Nadine Keller.
Upon her debut, she met a grief-stricken Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) who was walking around the Square aimlessly in the middle of the night as he hasn't been able to sleep properly since Lola's death.
Later on, the pair met up for a drink in The Queen Vic and viewers of the London-based program immediately speculated the newcomer to be keeping a secret.
It was then made clear that Nadine wasn't a typical resident as she works as a prostitute and tried to seduce Jay.

The hunk continues to see Nadine next week, as she has been the only one capable of giving him enough comfort to sleep during the night.
Noticing something is not right, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) can't help but lay into Jay about his night-time disappearances while his husband Callum Highway (Tony Clay) is stuck in the midst of their bickering.
Later, Callum tries to talk to Jay and offer him a shoulder to cry on, but Jay insists he's fine and just out connecting with new friends.
A run-in with Nadine leaves Callum faintly amused at her attempts to pick him up, even when he reveals he is a police detective.
