EastEnders star Matthew Morrison has revealed whether he’d ever return to his role as Felix Baker in the future. Felix left Walford earlier this year for Spain with Bernie after learning the truth about his cousin Keanu’s death.

Matthew discussed in an exclusive Soap Scoop interview whether he would ever reprise Felix’s role.

Reflecting on his character’s exit, Matthew said that he was glad the show didn’t kill him off. It’s always nice to keep the door open. It has been the privilege of my life to play that role, and I would always consider going back. It’s a lovely place and it’s like a big family.

“It’s a gorgeous place and it will forever hold a place in my heart. If they ever were to ask me to come back again – I don’t know how they would do it, but I would seriously consider it.”

EastEnders introduced Felix in 2022 as its first regular drag queen through his persona, Tara Misu.

While Felix was in a relationship with Johnny before his exit, things broke down in dramatic fashion, and Johnny is now pursuing a romance with Callum.

Matthew laughed and said that he thought they could have gone the distance if his mother hadn’t killed his cousin, but he admitted that was a slight problem.”I would have liked it to work out, I think they could have been a really nice couple.

“I really enjoyed working with Charlie [Suff, who plays Johnny]. He’s such a giving actor and such a nice person to be around, and it was great working with him.”

Meanwhile, Matthew stars as Christopher in the play Blue/Orange with John Mitchie at the Greenwich Theatre until 25 October.

“It is a massive departure from Felix, and I kind of like that,” Matthew said about his new role. “I was worried that I might be pigeonholed into a certain type of character. So for this to be my first job out of EastEnders is a blessing, because Christopher is world’s away from Felix. I’m still finding things in Christopher that I didn’t think I would find.”
