Just what was the purpose of bringing him back? he's not an awful character but just a bit boring, brought back for a nativity play? i'm very critical of SOC but i'm thinking now that there are some serious cutbacks going on in the soap, with all the younger cast at the forefront, all the axings and the lack of newcomers, i'm starting to think SOC might have his hands tied here.

I think it's nice to see characters popping in and out.

He was specifically brought back because of the tenth anniversary of the death of Pauline Fowler and is one of the few links to the Fowlers that would be possible to bring back.

Thanks

omg - thought for a split second it was Derek Branning (also back from the dead) you referred to.

He was brought back to turn up the sex appeal. They say the raunchy scenes that he filmed are groundbreaking for a pre-watershed program, and when screentested in a focus group, 3 women actually became pregnant just by watching them.

Thanks.

It's strange and sad seeing him without Pauline.
