Also as part of the 40th-anniversary celebrations, an interactive episode on wednesday (19 February) will give viewers the power to decide whether Denise Fox (Diane Parish) will reunite with her estranged husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) or her secret lover Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
One actor who won’t be returning is Michael Greco, who made his debut as the memorable Beppe di Marco in 1998 and left in 2002.
Greco also said that he has never been approached to reprise the role of Beppe in the 23 years since he left.
“I left over 20 years ago and there hasn’t been a day they’ve contacted my agent to ask me to come back,” he said.
Greco said that, if he wasn’t asked to return for the soap’s 40th anniversary, then he doesn’t think “it ever will” happen.
