Jonny Labey could be seen posing with the two actors as they stepped out for a charity night out.

Labey, 31, left EastEnders in 2016 after being killed in a vicious homophobic attack.

Danny Hatchard played the son of Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright's characters Mick and Linda.

Die-hard fans will remember Ricky Norwood's character met his fate on Christmas Day 2015.

He was killed by Ronnie Mitchell's hitmen on Christmas Day 2015.

Ronnie had originally made plans to kill Vincent Hubbard by having him crushed in a car.

Sadly, Vincent found out himself the plot hadn't gone as expected as he discovered Fatboy's dead body himself in the boot of the car.

Reacting to Jonny, Ricky and Danny's reunion, one EastEnders fan said: "You look amazing lads!"

"Reunited and all looking great," said a second.

While a third posted: "Looks like an amazing evening."

EastEnders stars who QUIT

MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?

The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.

Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.

Yet what about the 2024 exits?

Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series.

It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.

Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.

Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines.

Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.

One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.

He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.

Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.

Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.

She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
