Bosses hoping to persuade 'EastEnders' matriarch to make permanent return

'EastEnders' bosses want Barbara Windsor to make a permanent return to the soap.

The 75-year-old actress will return to the show - which she quit in 2010 after 16 years - as Walford matriarch Peggy Mitchell for one episode this autumn, but programme chiefs are keen to get her to return on a long-term basis.
