SHE hasn’t appeared on EastEnders for 18 years and actress Scarlett Alice Johnson couldn’t look more different.
The actress, now 37, played rebellious teen Vicki Fowler who caused a stir when she returned to Walford in 2003 having run away from her home in the US.
Famed for her Pixie cut, Scarlett has now got a chic blonde bob.
Vicki’s most memorable storyline is arguably when she got pregnant after a one-night stand with Alfie’s younger brother Spencer Moon.
Her adoptive sister Sharon, who at the time believed she was infertile, offered Vicki £10,000 to give her the baby to bring up as her own.
Although Spencer ended up wanting to be a dad to the little one, Vicki decided to terminate the pregnancy – though the couple are now apparently running a bar together in Sydney, Australia.
Since leaving the Square, she’s continued to enjoy success in the acting world, bagging roles in the Channel 4 comedy Pete Versus Life (2010) and UK films Panic Button (2011) and Adulthood (2008).
You may also recognise Scarlett from her role as Laura Derbyshire, a pregnant teen and subsequent new mum in the BBC Three comedy Pramface, who she played for three series.
Her theatre career has also gone from strength to strength, with Scarlett appearing as Juliet in an open air run of Romeo and Juliet at Stafford Castle in 2005 and Mindy in a revival of Aunt Dan and Lemon at the Royal Court Theatre in 2009.
She starred – yet again – as a new mum in Soho Theatre’s touring production of Radiant Vermin in April.
Fans of The Good Karma Hospital, an India-based medical drama, will recognise Scarlett Alice Johnson as Tommy McConnell in season three.
More recently she has been offering masterclasses for upcoming actors.
