EastEnders actor Shane Richie returns to filming after a drink-driving charge, according to reports from the Daily Mail and Mail Online. Both outlets say Richie resumes work on Monday and gets back into character on set.
The sources describe the broadcaster’s response as a “dressing down” from BBC bosses, but they do not provide additional details about the incident, the timing of the charge, or any formal workplace measures. Neither outlet specifies whether Richie has been sentenced or whether the matter is pending, focusing instead on his return to production and his continuation of filming. No other corroborating information is included in the provided texts.
