"EastEnders&amp;#039; Jane Beale has made a surprise reappearance in Walford in the latest episode of the soap. Jane, played by Laurie Brett, shocked her ex-husband Ian by turning up at his home unexpectedly in the cliffhanger of Monday night&amp;#039;s episode (January 6).  Show bosses decided not to announce the storyline twist before transmission so that fans would be surprised. However, viewers had seen Ian&amp;#039;s son Peter (Ben Hardy) make a mysterious phone call last week, wanting help to deal with his father&amp;#039;s latest troubles. Brett spoke out on Twitter this evening after being flooded with messages from shocked fans. Thank you so much for the amazing response..
