EastEnders spoilers: Ricky Butcher for return as June Brown encourages bosses to bring back Sid Owen?
EastEnders star Sid Owen could be heading home to Walford – if soap stalwart June Brown has her way! Sid, who played Ricky Butcher on and off over more than two decades, has admitted that he would be open for a return and reckons that the Dot Branning actress is going to put a good word in for him with bosses.
Ricky is fondly remembered by fans for being the put upon hubby of fiery Bianca – and he also had relationships with Sam Mitchell and Natalie Evans over the years. He was last seen in 2012 but with his daughter Tiffany recently showing up on the Square, now would be a decent time for him to follow in her footsteps.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Sid said: ‘June was trying to convince me to come back to EastEnders. She was like, “I’m going to have a word and get you back.” You do miss the routine sometimes and that camaraderie – it’s very family orientated because your friends are there.’
Sid first appeared in the role way back in 1988. Aside from his role in EastEnders, he has also starred in Bad Girls and The Bill.
Rocky’s storylines included the discovery that his wife Bianca had cheated with Dan Sullivan, his own affair with Natalie behind the back of hapless Barry and his discovery that Tiffany was actually his daughter.
