Mitzee back to help her sister Maxine? Brendan to shake things up with Ste and Harry and to give Trevor and Grace a run for their money? Fin to traumatise both John Paul and Robbie and, to a lesser extent, Sally? Or maybe Jacqui to sort out the rest of the McQueen's now Porsche's well and truely gone? Or maybe Porshe herself?

I would say Brendan but by the end of the week Bryan Kirkwood would've Freddie have outsmarted him to show he is top dog. It's probably the same with most characters but without the fear of them being ruined I would choose Brendan or Jacqui probably.

This is going way back but I'd like Lucy Benson back. She was a great character who has history with Tony and to a lesser extent Cindy, Darren and even Holly and Tom as she was friends with Dawn, Ruth and Lewis and her brother was killed in the same car accident as Holly's Dad. I'd love to see what she is like now.

Most of the others I loved are dead so no go's.

More recently, Brendan although I agree, Kirkwood would probably have Freddie beat him within about 5 minutes which I'd hate.

Oh yes, Jude is a good call. She'd be great to have back.

Brendan Brady. Second choice Jacqui McQueen. But as others have said, I expect BK would just ruin them.

Brendan Brady and he'd finish Lindsay off

I'd love her to come back. Or otherwise Jacqui McQueen. Shame none of the Ashworth's are still in it.

He wouldn't really change the show, but if I could I would bring back Craig Dean. JP as a character needs saving.

If not Craig, then Brendan.

Craig Dean. His family are still there (well some of them) and he would make JP less of a boring old man.

Craig. It's been a few years but it still just doesn't sit right having JP without Craig. He'll liven up the Osborne's a bit as well. Be a friend for Darren, they used to have little fun story lines together in the really old days. It'll be nice to see Darren get back to that as he's so much more serious these days.

When Frankie,eventually, comes back it'll be perfect timing to bring him back he could arrive with her.

Unfortunately, Guy Burnet will NEVER come back. However, enough time has passed and a recast could be attempted. There's no other way around it.

Jacquie McQueen, to kick several backsides that need a good kicking.

One of the many, many, MANY killers from HO past, to murder every single Roscoe.

Lucy was one of my early favourites too. And yes, she does have connections with Tony, Cindy and others too.

No, no, no, no, no to a recast.

Just go on a massive axing spree get rid of all the pointless characters (which there are a lot of) use all the money saved to offer to Guy. Everyone has their price.

I'd rather keep Craig away then recasting though. The only reason to bring Craig back would be because he has chemistry and history with JP and the Osbornes. If they bring him back recasted it probably won't have the same effect and would just have been the same if they brought in a whole new character.

Recasting on soaps is done all the time, and people eventually get used to it. I'd rather have an interesting character back with another actor than be limited in the stories I want to tell by the professional choices of an actor who is not interested in reprising the role.

Kris Fisher. He'd fix the biggest issue I've had with HO for a while - lack of Kris. I miss Kris. I loved him.

Oh and Mitzeee to sort out Maxine and cart her off to the states. I liked Maxine but they've ruined her.

Kris, yes. Mitzeee, no. Maxine can cart herself off to the States, and the sooner the better.

I'd like this, purely because it would annoy Nancy.

It was actually announced quite a few years ago that Davina Taylor was returning, then suddenly she wasn't. Cindy then returned with a personality transplant, I always presumed she was just given the plots originally planned for Jude.
