His final scenes in 2018 saw Anna Windass stab Pat Phelan and end his life – five months after he framed her for attempted murder.
His demise occurred during Michelle Connor’s wedding to Robert Preston which was crashed.
But seven years on, Connor McIntyre, who played the villain, is returning to screens in a rival soap.
He’s set to star in an upcoming episode of BBC medical drama Casualty.
Details surrounding the 64-year-old’s involvement are under wraps, but he will play the character of Kenny Sanders.
A brief synopsis for the episode reads: “Stevie walks into danger as the identity of her stalker is revealed, Ngozi is on edge when her secret is exposed, and Flynn finds a solution to the department’s money problems.”
The episode is set to air this Saturday, April 12th at 9:10pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
Connor became an actor relatively late in life at the age of 30. He’d previously worked as a lifeguard, boxing coach and a car salesman.
It’s previously been reported that he was only due to star in three episodes of the soap but his contract was quickly extended.
The talented actor is also an artist and has obtained a First Class Hons grade in his Fine Art Degree.
