Albert Square is far from a quiet place.
If it's not
fathers disappointing sons, it's
people cheating on their partners or people just
point blank dying at the drop of a hat.
It's the unpredictable world of Walford that keeps us hooked, with characters leaving and returning to the east London almost as if there's a revolving door installed in the Queen Vic.
One character that is set to return is a serious bad boy and was played by actor Neil McDermott. Viewers will remember Ryan Malloy, half-brother to Whitney Dean who left the soap as he went on the run in 2011.
He had his fair share of trouble on the streets but also between the sheets as Ryan slept with Ronnie Mitchell, Lauren Branning, and was married to resident WAGON Janine Butcher before falling for Stacey Branning, whom he fathered a child with, Lily.
January 2016 saw him hand himself into the authorities after killing pimp Rob Grayson but it's said his return may take a longer termed time on our screens.
According to
The Sun, the bad boy is due to be released from prison in September and will meet up with his half-sister in what will be an emotional reunion.
A source close to the Albert Square cast and crew revealed the news:
"Ryan is never far from Whitney’s mind and she has always stayed in touch as much as possible.
"Although Ryan will only be appearing in a couple of episodes it’s fair to say that when he’s around drama usually follows."
Considering Whitney has just found out she is pregnant, it makes sense that her brother will return to our screens to help out.
