According to The Metro, DTC has said that any character who has died offscreen is in with a chance of coming back from the dead..

I think the most credible person would be Pete Beale but I would like to see Cindy again. It seems like DTC is prepared to open the door for someone else other than Kathy to come back from the dead.

I would say there are only two they could write a credible storyline for Cindy and Steve , no mention of bodies being ID'd in either case and both could be written a credible or at least half way believable story as to why they had to disappear.

Pete's body was identified by family so no possibility there and the actor upset the BBC which is why they killed him off so that he could not return.

I think DTC just said that to leave a bit of mystery as a light joke but I don't think he will try to revive another character from the dead. He had already done it with Kathy and Nick.

If you mean steve owen then he was blown up in the car which phil watched burn. I thought ian idenified cindy's body. Either way it would be a very bad idea to revive more dead characters.

You never know with DTC. I think he was being quite clear. I take the point about Pete Beale, although it depends on who identified the body. Pete was killed in suspicious circumstances from what I remember, why I think it would be the most credible but the most pointless. I think Cindy Beale is the most obvious person to bring back. She's a Beale, a villain, Ian's ex-wife, the mother of his kids and has history in the show. She would be a great return to the show but she wouldn't be as easy as Kathy to bring back. Someone should come up with ideas because I'm intrigued. Steve Owen is impossible to bring back. He died. That was on an onscreen death. No way he escaped that car. The easiest person to bring back would be Paul Trueman. Patrick ID'd Paul's body but you can work around that. Patrick could have been threatened by Andy or had tip offs from Andy's team. I'd like to see what would happen but Paul wouldn't provide as much fun as Cindy. Unless you brought back both.

If there is a precedent, if we never saw the character die, if there is a story and if the death could be reversed then, yes, they should do it. Paul Trueman and Cindy Beale for me.

Two people "coming back from the dead" in one small Square is more than enough. Three or god forbid more would be so unrealistic and would leave Eastenders with no credibility. I hope it doesn't happen. If EE ever go down the route of "it's all been a dream" and bring back any more dead characters I'll switch off for good. Of course I'm aware there are no plans (yet) for such a dreams storyline but I still think there should be no more dead people returning. Maybe they can have zombies next?

NO! Given how cindy died off screen it is utterly inpossible for her! She dies in childbirth while serving a prison sentence. No way her death would be covered up by police and hospital staff present - Let alone be seperated from her new born daughter!

Cindy being brought back will comepletly ruin the show.

No - they are the two they can't and steve as good as died on screen.

Pete and Angie are but Both would be too similiar to a Kathy's

Agreed. Good post. How many more coffins with the wrong body in them connected to Albert Square would there be? I don't want Cindy back for that reason and I agree with what you've said.

Cindy can't come back unless MyCindy is on the square. I just won't have it.

No more dead characters back to life, please. We've already had two and that's more than enough. Do you want EastEnders to become Sunset Beach?

Dirty Den? Didn't he disappear the second time when someone went to show them where they buried him?

No....just NO! I hope DTC doesn't go ahead with any of this. It would be major overkill and seriously harm the show (and his reputation). He already brought back Nick (though it wasn't much of a surprise) and Kathy. What will it achieve exactly?

Louise Berridge was the last EP to bring back a major character from the dead, and although Den's comeback fell short of expectations, it was fresh at the time and it worked since none of the subsequent EPs attempted a character revival for 11 years.

There should not be another character coming back from the dead for a long time IMO.

The one person who could've come back in the past few years while the Moons were on the Square was Jake. He wasn't a major character and I'm convinced that he's not dead.

Bringing back Cindy Sr or Pete would look like an absolute farce. Let the Beales come to terms with Kathy still being alive! Besides, none of Cindy's kids are even on the Square at the moment. One of them passed away, Cindy Jr is in Germany and Steven and Peter are in New Zealand.

No, Sam Mitchell dug up Den's body from under the Queen Vic cellar and he was still very much dead.

Ian didn't, it was Bev her mother who ID her, I watch the episode not too long ago.

It will be Stacey's father who is alive, plus it's more credible as he was never actually seen on the show. Stacey was only told he died by Jean and Sean (who thought he had killed him).

If it's Brian Slater maybe it's related to the key plot. Look at how frosty Jean got when Stacey had it with her.

Tbh I could just about live with this as Brian has never been on TV. It's not bringing back an old character. Plus if it means Stacey doesn't get involved with Kush, the better.

They'll end up remaking Shaun of the Dead in Walford at this rate.

The Beales and the Brannings will just have to barricade themselves in the Vic, have a nice pint and wait for everything to blow over.

I don't really count Nick as being brought back from the dead, it was obvious from the start that there was something fishy going on.

The difference between Nick and Kathys 'revivals' is that everything with Nick was planned out from the beginning while Kathy was genuinely dead when the producer at that time said so.

Basically, Nick was a carefully planned out story while Kathy was fixing of a mistake.

While I do love Cindy, I don't want to see her being brought back, her being in prison at the time of death makes things particularly difficult anyway.

DTC didnt bring Nick back from the dead as Nick was never really dead to begin with??? it was just part of a storyline, whereas with Kathy she was actually killed off by the executive producer and writers back in 2006, Nick being "killed off" only happened because they knew they were bringing him back.
