Who can still make a SHOCK comeback?

So with there being lots of threads on R and R and whether it was right or wrong and Pat also being mentioned, it got me to thinking...Which characters could still make a shock return?

Everyone loves a returning character in a soap, back after years of hiatus to wreak havoc, revenge or just to shake things up. However with soaps now seeming to kill people off there is less and less chance of this happening and gives future producers less chance to woo someone back. So which soap still has the most returns of classic/legendary characters to fall back on? And I don't mean bringing people back from the dead. Off the top of my head

EASTENDERS
Grant

CORRIE
Bet
Karen
Becky

EMMERDALE
Kim
Zoe
Steph

Grant may return again especially as Michelle is back and his Son Mark Jnr is likely to return again as a regular character.

Ooh yes let's have Janine back. Would Grant qualify as a shock comeback though?

Val back to Emmerdale. Never seen the body and it was all to evade prison for insurance fraud.

Pat, Peggy, Angie, Den, Pauline

EE bring back characters from the dead now and recast central characters so absolutely anything is appropriate now... Let's recast Pauline! New Pauline with new Martin and new Michelle... maybe reanimate Arthur while we are about it

Grant wouldn't be a shock he only returned a few month ago.

Agree with Corrie though and Kim/Zoe in Emmerdale

It would be great if a mystery sniper, later revealed to be Declan, would kill off some of the annoying characters i.e. (particularly) Kerry, Tracy, Marlon...

The original Michelle (EastEnders) would be a big Shock.
