Dressed in a chic LBD with her blonde hair slicked back, Tilly smiled alongside her equally smartly dressed former co-star.

Tilly first shared the snap on her Stories, writing: “Zack Morris was really happy to see me,” alongside the picture of the pair.

Zack reposted it, joking: “I was happier than my face let off,” in reference to his moody expression.

As teenagers, the pair starred alongside each other in EastEnders.

Zack played Keegan Baker on the long-running soap, while Tilly took on the role of Louise Mitchell.

Louise is the daughter of hardman Phil Mitchell, and her explosive romance with Keanu Taylor left Albert Square reeling.

Since saying goodbye to Walford in 2020, Tilly has swapped soapland for darker roles, landing parts in BBC thriller The Capture and hit You.

The 28-year-old starred alongside alumni Penn Badgley in the psychological drama.

She later revealing he was “such a sweetheart” when they filmed together.

Tilly played British socialite Lady Phoebe Borehall-Blaxworth in series four of the show.

Meanwhile, Zack has gone on to establish himself internationally after landing a role in the Disney+ reboot of Goosebumps.

He has also appeared in US medical drama , which is due to air in the UK at the end of next month.

Zack, who played Keegan Baker for five years, said it was surreal to work with a star like Noah Wyle.

“So I got to see him do everything. He even got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while we were there,” the 27 year old said, adding:

“And he handles it all with such grace. There was no ego.”

“On my third day of shooting, the producers from came on set and announced we had been nominated for 13 Emmys.”

However, if Zack or Tilly grows tired of Hollywood the door is firmly open for a potential return to Walford.

Last year, fans called for Louise to come back as her dad Phil recovered from a heartbreaking breakdown.

Taking to , one viewer asked: “Who would you like to see return next?”

Another replied: “I’d love Louise to come back to bring some joy to Phil.”
