Very unexpected

Wow really unexpected. I wonder if he is dying and he is going to leave money to Martin or something?

Is this the first casting news we have had since SOC took over?

This is even more random than Colin returning.

I wonder if Derek's return will be as incidental as Colin's or if he's back for a good reason. It's strange he'd show up after all this time given he didn't return when Pauline died. The only character he's got any real history with is Martin. Perhaps Martin dies?

He was a harmless but slightly boring character but has a history with Martin so it's intriguing.

God he was dull and pointless.... and was around during one of the worst eras of the show

Wasn't he the one who taught Martin to drive?

I hope the next surprise return is Mary the Punk and her daughter Annie.

The fact that only RTE seems to be reporting this through my Google search makes me suspicious but good news all the same.

They possibly broke embargo.

What a strange choice for a return, even if it is just a few episodes.

Good point. Wouldn't surprise me. Cowboys.

It will be 10 years since Pauline's death on Christmas Day so I expect there will be some heartfelt scenes between Derek and Martin about Pauline.

This couldn't be any more of an SOC decision if they tried... "Find me the dullest, most insipid character ever to appear on this show."

This might just be enough to make me start watching again.

Probably the most random since Mandy Salter return.

You've just signed your death warrant.

Clearly he's shop steward for the sacked bin men. This will be the new iconic Kat/Zoe moment.

"That ain't my rubbish!!!"

"YES IT IS!!"

Must be to do with 10 years since Pauline died. Probably a one episode appearance on Christmas Day.
CUP OF TEAAA!

He's so forgettable, I'm can't even remember whether Derek Harkinson is the character's name or the actor's name?
The_abbott
03-11-2016
the actor was Ian Lavendar from Dad's Army

Had to think for a bit before I remembered who he was.

We've had quite a few random guests from the past lately, with Lorna and Colin too.
