If You Could Bring Back An Old Soap Character(/s)
So: who would it be? If you were blessed with the option to grant the character or characters of your choice a return pass to the soap of your choice for as long as you like, who would you go with? Whether they left or died is irrelevant!
As far as EE is concerned it'd definitely have to be Phil and Grant Mitchell. Without them the atmosphere in Albert Square is far too relaxed. Although bringing back Steve Owen would also be an opportunity I wouldn't turn down.. Andy just doesn't cut it for me as the local smarmy git. In Corrie, although there are plenty of big names to choose from I'd rather have Toyah Battersby and Spider back on the street. For a long time they were my two fave characters and now that there's talk of bringing back Leanne I think it'd be great for all four Battersbys to be united again. As for Spider, he was just one of those sort of characters you either loved or hated. Personally I adored him.

Corrie - Curlie Watts.
EE - Nick Cotton Neighbours - Clive Heartbeat - Greengrass of course. The Bill - Burnside, Tosh (I know it's not possible because of his appetite for a drink and the fact that he lives in a coffin, or was he cremated?) Emmerdale - Kathy Tate (for reasons I wish to keep to myself) RE: Andy in EE - he'll always be the bad actor from the Bill in my opinion. |

Also from the Bill...Kerry Holmes. Sadly she is currently playing second fiddle to the two kids in the Vauxhall car advert.

The Street: well, how about the three witches (not from the Scottish play!) - Ena Sharples, Martha Longhurst and Minnie Cauldwell (complete with Rommel the cat)
Eastenders: the lantern-jawed Bianca, and Alan French's character (I've forgotten his name already). Emerdale: has to be Kim Tate, together with a brother Chris. Heyho! C-E. |

Basically, I don't think anyone should be brought back in EE unless its Michelle. I was sad to read that she isn't coming back for Mark's funeral - surely they could have had another actress. I have said in previous threads that there should be a massive disaster in EE - fire, explosion, plane crash or whatever and that way all those with rubbish story lines can be obliterated in one go. I'm thinking of all the Ferraris (or is that a car?), Pauline, most of the Slaters and especially the Dad, Gus and Jules (ridiculous pair), and Martin. Let Sonja find someone decent for a change.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Home & Away. I'd bring back Will or Sam maybe. I was obsessed with each of them at some stage. Or the character Heath Ledger played in it for a while. That's boost their ratings I expect..

Corrie - Linda Baldwin, Des Barnes
'Enders - Melanie Owen, Trevor Morgan In addition to that, although she hasn't left yet, I'd keep around Lynne Slater/Hobbs. |

Corrie - Linda Baldwin, Elsie Tanner, Annie Walker, Raquel, Hilda Ogden.
EE - Carol Jackson (brilliant actress), Michelle .... er, that's it. That made me realise there aren't many people I miss from Eastenders in comparison with Corrie... |

Wow, Linda Baldwin is quite popular. I'd forgotten about her to be honest.

Ade Critchley.
What happened to him, i heard he was meant to come back ages ago but nothing materialised. I saw him on that 24 hour quiz thing though. I return could be quite interesting now with the whole Karl/Todd/Sarah thing. |

He was well fit, wasn't he? I wouldn't mind if he made a comeback either.

Yeh I think it would be good to have Carol Jackson return to the Square in EE. She was a good character, in fact the Jackson's were one of EE's best families. It's a shame Michelle Fowler won't be back for Mark's funeral and Carol won't be at Sonia's wedding, it makes things a bit more realistic but there ye go.
