Sid Owen is to be reunited with his former on-screen co-star for the first time in six years when he returns to EastEnders as Ricky Butcher.

The pair will begin filming in January and will make their screen re-appearance in the Spring.

Ricky and Bianca made a brief return for a one-off spin-off episode based in Manchester in 2002 which saw the characters go their separate ways.

So, if Bianca is returning with a gaggle of sprogs (any idea how many??) only Liam I presume belongs to Ricky, does this mean he is going to take on all of Bianca's brood - a bit like Alan Jackson did for her Mum Carol??

Just need to bring back Wicksy, Martin & Sonia Fowler, (I bet that won't be long as Sonia is Bianca's sister!!), David Wicks (Bianca's Dad!), Grant Mitchell, etc and it'll be tops!

i think it is actually a really good time to brink bianca back as we now have been introduced to the rest of the branning family (jim, max, bradly, lauren, abby, tanya, jack) and bianca will naturally fit in with her uncles and cousins, instead of bringing her back at a time when she no longer had any family or friends in walford appart from pat

Okay, but if you use that argument then there's no real point Ricky coming back as he's not got ANY actual family left. His Sister Diane as far as we know is living in France, his other sister Janine (well we all know what happened there!) and as for his Dad, well very sadly the actor Mike Reid passed away a couple of months back. Ricky is apparently going to come back minted with a WAG style fiancee whereas Bianca will very much be down on her uppers. Interesting to see if Ricky's marriage to his WAG will happen or whether (huge intake of breath!) surprise, surprise Ricky and Bianca end up getting back together. One predictable storyline which will probably be dragged out as long as the Ken and Dierdre one coming up!!!! Roll Eyes

Yeah it does seam that ricky has no reason to return, he will probably not know anyone in walford anymore appart from peggy and phill and he wasnt really a big personality (in my opinion) dont think ricky coming back will really boost ratings but am looking foward to bianca coming back.
Does anyone know who has liam now. Im sure bianca gave him to ricky as she couldnt cope but not sure if that is correct

He'll know a few more people than just Peggy & Phil, but I do see where you're coming from. I've had a think and other than Bianca and Pat (obviously) I reckon he will only know Peggy, Phil, Dot, Ian, and maybe Gary (not too sure whether they over-lapped). Loosely speaking he MAY have encountered other Branning's when he was with Bianca, but it really is a wild card!

Yeah I'd heard that but I thought it was perhaps Bobby Davro's character (if he's ever coming back??) so as to woo Shirley over there with the promise of more money etc. Then I thought maybe it was Jack Branning since he seems loaded too, however as Ricky is coming back minted and has a WAG style girlfriend I guess that's also a possibility too. <Sigh> Decisions, decisions! Wink

So long as the storyline between Ricky and Bianca doesn't procrastinate too much. We all know the inevitable so let's just hope it's concluded quickly!
