Jake Moon is the only "dead" character that I think could return.

Tiffany Raymond has an identical twin sister living in Hackney named Tiara Diamond.

I agree.

The zombie outbreak idea sounds appealing though

Not just Tamwar, Joey too. They'd be alright because no zombies will actually target them.

I can imagine a demented ice cream van driver in some horror film driving down the road playing this...

I actually zone out as soon as I hear Tamwar speak. Now it just sounds like... Blah, drone, Mr Lister, blah blah, drone!

Tamwar leaves me in a coma and I end up missing the rest of the episode and wake up on the floor face down in some birthday cake!

All of which was a silly mistake, as nearly all of them were still alive, and to answer your question, these days new characters do not stick around long enough to be iconic, we don't watch them grow old anymore because they up and leave, they are not passionate about staying!”

Oh, yeah, a shame a lot of them are killed offscreen without so much of a thought but I wouldn't attempt to bring them back either.

And I wouldn't want to ruin their status as a legend, the reason Anita Dobson would never have returned anyway. Nothing could live up to that original stint.

Sometimes a character is best left with that original arc of beginning, middle and an end.

Sequels never work.
(Or in Sharon's case, trilogies never work).

What flavour birthday cake? Because if it's chocolate, than it's worthwhile

I'd bring back Kat and Carol because by the looks of things they died years ago

Yep, it was a chocolate gateau, one of Icelands finest delicacy!

James Wilmott-Brown raped Kathy but agree the acting was great. Wilmott-Brown returned for a one off episode a few years after and it too was amazing.

He should come back. Ian wouldn't be pleased but would str up bad memories.

Don't care about them but I tell you now, Pauline isn't dead. She merely rested on the snow and that idiot Martin just jumped to conclusions. She now runs the late shifts at the laundrette

Exactly.

As I've said before, Kathy is DEAD. Get over it.

NO mother would go into witness protection without her small son joining her in her new life.

What sort of mother do you think Kathy was - would she really swan off and leave her son apparently alone in the world, to be sent back to Walford and raised by the Mitchells ???

She loathed Phil by the time she left. The last thing she would do is 'play dead' and place her son in Phil's power.

A ludicrous suggestion.

When Jamie was dying in hospital, he told Sonia he'd had a dream that he'd seen Tiffany and Ethel sitting in Albert Square, with Ethel wearing fruit on her head - rather surreal.

No dead characters should ever be revived, no matter how great a character they were!
Everyone, except Louise from Hollyoaks, that is!
