Could they ever bring back Kathy, Cindy or Pat? It would be controversial however axing Pat was the worst decision in the soap ever made IMO

The only plausable way is for her to be seen as the ghost of somewhere like Rhys Ashworth was in Hollyoaks and she could give out her advice.
There could be a far-fetched explanation perhaps? Maybe she was involved in dodgy dealings so faked her death by being medically induced in a coma therefore assumed dead when she is infact in witness protection.
I honestly think there's a chance Kathy could be brought back. Her death happened in South Africa, but we never saw it. What if it turns out her body was never found? That's what happened to Dione Bliss in Neighbours. She married Toadie Rebecchi and was in a car crash with him. He survived but her body was never found since 2003.
Gillian Taylforth is a wonderful actress. Much rather see her as Ian and Ben's mum on Eastenders than Sandy Roscoe on Hollyoaks (and has the agony of being mum to that guy with the one facial expression).
Yeah its where the idea came from really! I really think she should come back as the body was never found.
Pat faked her death and her funeral with her good old friend and customer Les Coker. She needed to get away from Derek Branning because she was fed up of seeing his ugly face. She is currently residing in a villa in Spain with DCI Burnside and spends her days drinking sangria and sunning herself by the pool.
I thought everyone knew this?
Bring Pat back, say she faked he death, and if viewers don't like it, axe her again and say she came back as a ghost.
Bringing back Pat would kill of any of the credibility the show has regained since DTC took charge.
Despite it being one of the worst decisions in EE history Pat is gone - and nothing is ever going to change that.
If a new producer wants to shock viewers then there the ones to make that decision..
It was however a huge error killing Pat off, she was one of the only classic characters left that dated back to the 80s..
Kathy didnt die on screen, so she could come back, but its been nearly 10 years, so leaving a decade before returning is abit silly!
In Cindy's case, again she died off screen in 1998, 17 years ago! This is such along gap!! Thats were the releasticness comes into it....
If they were to be bought back from the dead, then it should have been done years ago!
If they bring a character back from the dead and call shenanigans and that characters stays for 5+ years and once more becomes a mainstay then the circumstance of their return, whilst seeming far-fetched at the time, will soon be forgotten.
But it's like once every 10 years thing, maximum.
Yes, this.
It would be easier to bring either Kathy or Cindy back and I'm surprised no EP has tried it. The Den story was barely plausible and they still went with it.
Kathy or Cindy both died off screen. Of the two bringing Cindy back would be more realistic - she was in prison at the time of her death so could easily have been witness to a crime. She loved her kids but was selfish enough to stay away. Even with Peter leaving, Cindy still has a daughter on the show. Kathy loved Ian and Ben too much not to make contact for all this time but they could get round that I suppose.
