Guy Burnet who plays Craig Dean returns to Hollyoaks later this year in the hope to rekindle his relationship with John-Paul played by James Sutton.

He left the soap last August to go to Trinity College in Dublin after his affair with Jean Paul was exposed during an engagement party for him and Sarah. He will return soon after the village finds out that Jean Paul is having a relationship with Father Kieron Hobbs.

Guy said:-

“I’ve had so much support from the McDean fans since I left the show and so it’s great to have the opportunity to reprise the storyline and give viewers a resolution to the Craig and John Paul story.”

Producer Bryan Kirkwood added:-

“The Craig and John Paul story is one of the biggest and most successful that Hollyoaks has told, winning many awards and legions of fans. I’m delighted that Guy has agreed to come back and excited to see how viewers will react to what we have in store.”

Sharon Osbourne gave Simon an ultimatum, either he fired Danni Minogue or she walks. It turns out that a salary dispute had nothing to do with her leaving the show and that Danni was the real reason she no longer wants to return for the latest series of The X Factor.

Walsh told the sunday mirror:-

“It’s not contracts or money, it’s Danni. They don’t get on at all and she wasn’t happy with the situation. Sharon has walked off, she’s gone. Why didn’t they give Danni the boot instead?”

Walsh has also not confirmed if he will be returning to the show, he said:-

“I haven’t signed yet but I am negotiating, it’s a difficult situation. Sharon is a great friend, I talk to her everyday. She is devastated and so am I. I have absolutely no relationship at all with Danni. I have no idea how she is feeling about all of this because I simply do not talk to her.
