I hope Dennis Tanner returns, I hated how things have been left off. It is over a year ago since he left but he has never been mentioned, as if he never existed.

Seeing as Blackburn brought back Brian Packham and is soon bringing back
Spoiler
after letting both of them go from the show originally, I hope Dennis is given another chance. Whether or not he liked the character, I think Philip Lowrie deserved better than what happened to him last year.

I'd say give Dennis prostate cancer and he is dying. Rita lets him back in and we get a special episode set in Portugal where Dennis and Rita visit Elise and Bill Gregory's grave. Anne Cunningham can also reprise the role of Linda Cheveski, and introduce some Tanners to the street.

I loved him but the writers clearly didn't know what to do with him, so I can't see a return happening any time soon sadly.

They brought Dennis (Philip Lowe) back once, but hadn't thought what they were going to do with him; his scripts were dire. In the end, they just sent him off with Gloria. I don't think they can bring him back again.

The Tanners should be rebuilt.

Are you forgetting his ever so random return to smack Norris halfway across the Kabin before Rita turned up and spoilt the fun?

The actor was treated very badly so he shouldn't return while the hat is there

I thought him being Tina's killer would have been a great exit for him when he was leaving anyway.

This is why writers should ignore fans.

Agreed. It was bad enough having him be so cruel to Rita.

I'd love for Dennis to return, but he's not a character I expect to ever return. They had no idea what to do with him, though it baffles me how in three years they never touched upon 43 years of backstory. It's an unforgivable oversight by a very lazy team of writers.
