" EastEnders star Charlie Brooks has admitted that her character Janine Butcher may have a shelf life. The actress has recently returned to filming at the BBC One soap following a six-month break. Janine will arrive back on screen on Thursday, April 18.  Speaking in a new interview with The Sun&amp;#039;s TV Magazine, Brooks revealed that she may not stick with EastEnders forever as she doesn&amp;#039;t want Janine to become unpopular with viewers. Brooks explained: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a real danger that people can get irritated by Janine and there&amp;#039;s only so much she can go through. I don&amp;#039;t want people to tire of her and I don&amp;#039;t want the character to weaken. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll know when the time&amp;#039;s right for Janine to go, and there is loads of other acting stuff I&amp;#039;d like to do. I&amp;#039;d also like to have the experience of living in another country.&amp;quot; The 31-year-old also gave the first hints of Janine&amp;#039;s return storyline, confirming that she heads back to Walford to fight estranged husband Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) for custody of their daughter Scarlett.   Brooks said: &amp;quot;Janine has been all over Brazil and Europe trying to find herself and recover from the whirlwind that was Michael Moon.  &amp;quot;Who should watch out now she&amp;#039;s back? I&amp;#039;d say Scarlett! Baby girl, run! Michael should watch out, and whoever tries to stand in her way of getting her baby.&amp;quot; EastEnders continues tonight (April 5) at 8pm on BBC One.
