HOLLYOAKS is bringing ANOTHER character back from the dead for James Sutton’s exit storyline.
The Channel 4 soap is pulling out all the stops for the John Paul McQueen star’s upcoming final storyline after the actor quit the soap.
Actor James first joined the soap in 2006 and has spent the past 20 years playing the role on and off.
However after telling bosses he was ready to leave, they began crafting a storyline to pay tribute to the character’s various trials and tribulations over the two decades.
His final story will see a ‘what if?’ element explore what would have happened if he had made different choices over the years.
The Sun exclusively revealed how actors Gemma Merna and Leah Hackett would be reprising their roles as the very dead Carmel and Tina McQueen.
And yesterday we revealed that Hollie-Jay Bowes would be returning for the storyline as Michaela McQueen.
Now it has been reported that another dead McQueen will be back on the show.
Actor David Tag has filmed scenes for the episode as Sylver McQueen, four years after his on-screen death.
“Sylver is returning as part of the special McQueen episode featuring fantasy scenes,” a source told Digital Spy.
“The episode has a ‘What If?’ theme, exploring various scenarios which could have changed the course of the McQueens’ lives over the years.
“John Paul is questioning his life choices and is asking what could have been different.
“David filmed some very entertaining scenes with James Sutton, who plays John Paul, and it was great to see him back on set after such a long absence.”
Meanwhile actor James is now going to focus on his new business venture as a wellness guru having filmed his final scenes for the soap earlier this month.
His exit will play out on screens in early spring.
