Characters you would bring back.

[CAEF]

I would bring back Ali Osman. In late 1989 he hit hard times and smashed up the cafe and was sent back to Cyprus by his family, and sadly was never seen or heard from in Walford again. Ali does have some reason to return. Maybe he returns to Walford after 30 years to try and find his ex Sue and decides to stay again. Would be great for an original character to return other than just Sharon for the umpteenth time or Kathy. Also get Nejdet Salih/Adamson to play him again.

Aidan Brosnan. Out of curiosity he looks on "The Walford Community Group" on Facebook and decides to visit Albert Square again for old times sake. He then meets Ian Beale, Kathy, Sharon and Phil who all remember him. Aidan finds that Mandy returned a few years back and almost wed Ian. Aidan realises the square has changed a lot since he left in 1993 and gets nostalgic and decides to stay. He gets a job at The Vic.

The guy that played Aidan was in Dangerfield with the woman playing Fi!

Sean Maguire played Aidan. I remember him well in EE. He was the same generation as Take That and East 17 and had a music career. He was in EE quite briefly, just a year but Aidan became a very popular character and Aidan and Mandy, "Aidandy" were seen as the new Den and Angie.

I am sure if Frank and Pat stayed around they would today be known as "Frat".

Lofty Holloway for sure. He can arrive back on the Square a software designer millionaire. That would really put Michelle`s nose out of joint.

[Holey]

For a bit of male totty Joey Branning along with his sister Alice and female totty Melanie Healey.

In all seriousness I would love Cora to come back full time. And for of good measure lets have bubbly in the fridge Vanessa back for Max.

[wallis]

David Wicks, Mmmmmmm. I know there's rumours Michael French is gay but still Mmmmmmmm.

[CAEF]

I always liked David but pity that Michael French will not return to the show full time. A recast is deffo a huge no no. MF is David Wicks.

[Deleted]

Doesn`t Dr Legg have a son called David who is also a doctor? Maybe he could come back.

[J-B]

Cindy Jr.

Thanks.

[Uncle Quentin]

Reg Cox.
The show was never the same after he was killed off, it's been in sharp decline ever since.

Ronnie and Ronald too, they need to come back. Their swimming pool deaths can be explained as them going into witness protection in South Africa.

Pete Beale needs to come back.  Nobody gets called "Treacle" in EE anymore, and that quite frankly is a massive shame.

Angie Watts too, if Anita Dobber doesn't want to play her, Brian May can do it instead.  They look the same and it'll be nice for Sharon to have her gran back on the square.  

Pat Butcher definitely.  Pam StButcher who plays her needs to get off that ruddy bong and get some purpose back in her life.  They could say she's been in witness protection in Africa.

Lou Beale needs to come back.  I'm well aware she's dead in RL, but just dig her up and put her back in the chair.  Nobody will know, that's all she ever did anyway.

Eddie Royle.  He can run the Vic until it gets burned down again.  Danny Doyle's had his day and it's time he went back to chatting to military-trained football hooligans in Russia.

Mark Fowler.  Todd Fowler who plays him has had bugger all to do since repeatedly treading on that bird in Strictly Dancing, and being Gabriel Kent.

Lolzer Uncle Q...
That was so funny...

[Uncle Quentin]

I thought of a few more too, but didn't want to burn my roast spuds.
I'm already on dodgy ground after my drink-fuelled shenanigans last night.

[Uncle Quentin]

Right I've scoffed my dinner and done the washing up and walked the dog.

I'd also bring back Ian's money lending business. That was completely boss.
He never actually had any dosh to lend, or indeed any people wanting to lend some dosh, he just used to mooch about importantly in a dark basement in his suit with Mark Bright's bird who had eyes like saucers and big knockers.
That was probably one of EE's best ever set-ups that. It had so much potential. He could have worn different suits for example, or even lent somebody a fiver.
They made a huge error scrapping that one.

I'd also bring back Grant's mate Nigel. He was supposed to be a bit thick but was actually a qualified surgeon you know. I know this for a fact because I saw him on Holby operating on a geezer who had a dodgy ticker. They could say he's been in South Africa checking up on all the other former residents of the square who are hiding there from Phil.

Dirty Den could come back as well, I'm sure he's learned his lesson now and won't do any more webcam wanking. He could get Michelle pregnant again and they could keep it a secret from Sharon and Pauline.

Also, Arthur Fowler was much better when he was a person and not a bench.

[Uncle Quentin]

LOL that avvy ... too funny!!!!!!!!!!

[Charley Says...]

It sounds to me like you still watch it Uncle Q...
Are you in the closet about EE...?
