EE - How would you bring back dead characters?
People that have died offscreen,
there is always a way around these things, all it needs is a bit of brain power! Name a character who you would bring back from the dead and how? |

Bringing Den back, despite being left open when he originally left stretched credibility too much. |

The truth is, for those of us who have watched from the start, I don't think the programme will ever have the same impetus that it had in its early day. You can't resurrect something that made its impact once. Same as Dallas, Dynasty etc.

The Kathy thing could have been easily remedied by a staged crash and death as part of a scam by her husband. It wouldn't have taken a great deal to find a dodgy copper in South Africa I'm sure who would have helped them out.

I don't want dead people back but I'd choose Cindy or Kathy. As for onscreen death, I'd choose Pauline but obviously impossible

![]() ![]() one thing I'll say about him he could do angry. When Kathy was raped by Dermott think that's who it was, the acting from both he and Gillian was outstanding.

None its Sunset Beach enough with Ronnie returning.
At least with Den first time they deliberately made it ambiguous hence Julia and Tony leaving in protest. At the time the public wondered if he was alive. |

Paul Truman in witness protection, Patrick was so overcome with grief he mistakenly identified someone else as Paul as the body was barely recognisable.

Andy Hunter didn't really die, he landed on a truck carrying hay.

Would love to see Paul back now, Witness Protection would have been plausible, the "hitman who drove him away" could have been a undercover cop, Andys dead, Johnnys dead, and it would give Patrick more to do!
