Even though I think the return in general wasn't good and shoudn't have been done that first episode of Den Watts with Sharon at Angie's Den was very good.
Got to agree that Sharon's return at the end of the ep with the duff duff was fantastic - one of EE great iconic moments and definately it's best return. Nothing was ever going to match that. It just all came perfectly together. A former popular and established character with a strong (the strongest) tie to the vic returning to compete with a new(ish) but now firmly established and popular character for the pub.
Alas these days things are too contrived. But even though I've heard the odd comment about why would Sharon return; it made perfect sense given how much she loved the pub and the fact she was driven out of her home.
I liked Dennis Tanner's return in 2011, especially the scene when he arrived back in Coronation Street and was standing outside number 11 (his old home) looking at the writings under the window 'Dennis Tanner 1951'. Then Rita spotted him and recognized him.
Although not exactly a single episode, I liked the episode that followed it when Dennis disclosed his mum Elsie's fate "They don't make them like that anymore". It's a shame the rest of his stint wasn't that good.
??? Was this the nuGrant with the chilled attitude?? I must have missed those skulls.
His first return to save Peggy from Johnny Allen...beat up the guy strangling Peggy, threw Dennis Rickman about in the Vic...I just remember the line 'I thought we was gonna crack some skulls' when getting talked down about going back out to find Johnny Allen.

Sharon's in 2001 was great viewing too!! "Hello Peggy...Bet you never thought you'd see me again..."

So classic.

Half-Jokey answer: Lucy Beale's return in the funeral parlour.
Jokey answer: Amy's return from Spain
Agree with both of these.
I agree about Sharon's. I adored Grant's return "Allo Mum"
I miss him so much
Or David Wicks for Pat's death.
